Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

GL84 Upon arriving at an island resort, the staff finds that several members and guests are turning up dead, they try to keep it from the guests who are there to enjoy the hedonistic lifestyle promoted on the island while trying to find the identity of the killer and stop their rampage.This is really the way a horror-comedy should be like. What really makes this one so much fun is the fact that in spite of how most spoofs are more comedy than horror, this is a horror movie with some comedy. It keeps the traditional merging of the slasher genre with the mixture of enough laughable gags that's never unrealistic or way over the top to really make it seem more like it belongs in the horror genre than comedy. This lets on for a ton of fun from a race through a maze dressed up as fruit, the sequence where one guest frantically works to get a getaway vehicle to escape the killer, only to find out it goes under five miles an hour allowing the killer to walk up to it and kill them is a fantastic scene which reveals in complete irony and actual tension as well as the series of confrontations in the jungle as the killer stalks after them around the resort as the attacks by the pool, inside the main hall and out along the jungle courses come complete with all the usual angles and close-ups that are frequently utilized for generating suspense as well as engaging in laughs. This all comes from the story itself which is a great setup for one of these efforts as it's full of surprises and excellent plot twists as you keep guessing who is the killer. It does come as a great shock at the end, and it works as the mystery is very well written and keeps you on the edge of your seat. There's a pretty decent sized body count on display here for a horror-comedy, keeping it bloody quite often and giving it more of a slasher feel to the proceedings with the string of vicious and exceptionally violent kills that are still somewhat hilarious in the concept of their use. There's also the rather fun finale here that goes overboard with the chasing to the final encounter and all the different battles that are more comedic than scary but still fit well within the confines of the story. There wasn't much of anything to really dislike about this one. It's mostly just a case-by-case basis, as the majority of things on display will appeal to certain people rather than others. Very rarely is there a case of individual preference in these films, but this is one of them as the overkill in the final half might be one of these issues. Overall, this was a very pleasant and surprisingly good film.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, Nudity, several sex scenes and drug use.

greenpyro1 Anyone who didn't like this movie wasn't really paying attention. This is a classic and deserves way better than in the 5's. Anyone who is reading this before they watch it needs to know that IMDb fans have screwed this one up. I gave it a 10 to boost it even though it probably won't but it really belongs in the high 7's. The writing, acting, direction, humor, and delivery are all brilliant and if you're a broken lizard fan it makes it even better. They all play great characters in this one and while it wasn't as popular as say "Super troopers" it was definitely as good if not better. The ending probably made a lot of people dislike it but IT'S A COMEDY PEOPLE! I personally love this movie more than any other broken lizard title and felt compelled to review it when I saw it had such a low rating. Seriously if you're avoiding it due to it's IMDb rating, you're missing out.

Paul Andrews Club Dread is set on the holiday resort of Pleasure Island just off the Costa Rican Coast where hedonistic teens go to drink, have sex & laze about on the beach all day. Pleasure Island is owned & run by old timer Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton), he also has staff including a tennis instructor, the fun police & a new masseur. However all is not well on Pleasure Island, members of the staff are turning up dead with cryptic clues & warnings carved into their chest's. How could be responsible? A disgruntled customer? Someone with a grudge against Coconut Pete? Or maybe it's one of the staff themselves? No-one know's who to trust as the bodies continue to pile up & with the only boat to the mainland still a couple of days away will anyone still be left alive to get on it & to safety?Co-written & directed by Jay Chandrasekhar who also has a fairly large part in the film & is apparently a member of the Broken Lizard comedy team who also all have major roles I suspect that Club Dread was meant as a comedy horror spoofing the teen slasher film in particular but it's turned out as a bit of a disaster, neither funny nor scary what is Club Dread actually good for? When, during the first hour, the only moment that I can assume was meant to be funny involves a guy introducing himself to an Asain girl named Yu (pronounced You) & saying 'it's nice to meet you Yu' I think a film is in trouble. When a film has it's cast run around in giant novelty foam food costumes (bananas, a slice of pizza, a pear) for comic effect you know the makers were desperate. I honestly can't think of a single gag or joke that worked & to be honest I can barely even remember any attempts at humour (Yu in a slow moving cart trying to escape the killer but they still just walks up to her, Putman serving tennis balls at the killer & a terrible last shot of the killers severed legs trying to swim to shore). The entire plot is poor, it's very predictable & doesn't even play on the aspects of the average teen slasher to any sort of effect, the camp fire tale with a n old legend, lots of people jumping out of nowhere & some fairly bloodless murders means any horror fan will surely be disappointed as will anyone looking for some laughs. The murder mystery side of things is awful, the killers identity feels like a random afterthought & their motives are as shallow as they come.I had the unfortunate luck to see the extended 'Unrated' version of Club Dread which runs some fifteen minutes longer than the theatrical 'R' rated version, fifteen more minutes of lame humour & simplistic slasher film clichés. Oh God. There's not much gore here, there are a few blood splatters, a decapitated head, a few dead bodies & someone is cut in half at the end. There's no suspense, no tension & no scares together with zero laugh & it's like the makers didn't know how far to take either element & in the end fail miserably on both counts. Club Dread just misses the mark by the proverbial mile on both the horror & comedy content. There's a bit of nudity & some mild sex scenes but nothing to write home about.With a supposed budget of about $8,550,000 this had a decent budget, filmed in Mexico the scenery is nice but there are plenty of films where the scenery is nice so that's no recommendation. The acting is awful, really some of the self indulgent performances here are just annoying. Bill Paxton must have been desperate.Club Dread is a horror comedy that fails miserably on both counts, do yourself a favour & give this a wide berth. Maybe the zany idiotic low brow murder mystery & occasional stab at humour will appeal to some but I couldn't stand Club Dread, a big misfire on all fronts as far as I am concerned.
