SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

generationofswine What? Why is the rating so low here? It wasn't like this movie even tried to be good! It wasn't like it even tried to tell you it was good! This was a bad movie made to be a bad movie made to entertain you on the basis of it being a bad movie!It achieved that goal. You can't give the movie 3 stars for achieving the goal it set out to.And to ensure it is both bad and entertaining, a cartoon rapes someone. That's right, you have a cartoon raping a human.It's kind of like someone watched "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" and then said "hey, we can do that so much worse. You think that's good? We can make a movie like it that is so bad you'll love it!"And that is exactly what they did. It's a twisted B-rated version of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" only the cartoon are evil and that makes it, not better, but in a category all to its own.It's not trying to scare you and even the jokes aren't trying to make you laugh. It's trying to be a bad movie that entertains you by hitting all the cliche's of the bad movie genre.So, 10 out of 10 stars, it set a goal for itself and achieved it.

capkronos This has a LOT in common with Jim Wynorski's SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II. They were filmed in the same house at around the same time (1990) and have the same basic plot about a handful of buxom, lingerie-clad babes trapped in an old house where one becomes possessed by an evil spirit and starts killing off the others. Both films are also filled with tongue-in-cheek humor and endless in-jokes that you can only appreciate if you've seen your fair share of exploitation / horror / trash movies as well as a weird next door neighbor who is always lurking around outside and appears to be stalking the girls. Oh yeah, and let's not forget a generous helping of T&A, as that's one of the chief reasons these movies were made in the first place. Wynorski's film is the better of the two because the dialogue is funnier and it somehow works as both a horror/slasher flick (with plenty of the expected bloodshed) as well as a send-up of such films, whereas this one is doesn't work at all as a horror film and is more straight-up camp comedy. Still, if you know what you're getting yourself into and are familiar with the director and cast, EVIL TOONS is a pleasant enough way to kill 83 minutes of your time.The home where a sorcerer (David Carradine) hung himself because of an evil, talking book many years earlier is now being sold by Burt (Dick Miller), who's in need of a clean-up crew pronto before the new owners can move in. Enter Terry (Suzanne Ager), Megan (Monique Gabrielle), Roxanne (Madison Stone) and Jan (Barbara Dare), who apparently all work for some cleaning company but show up for work dressed like Hollywood Blvd hookers in cut-off Daisy Dukes and spandex. The girls are paid a whopping 100 dollars each to spend the weekend there and tidy the place up, but after some exploring around and an impromptu strip-tease, Carradine's character shows up at the front door to deliver a special package. Inside is the evil book and the nerdy Megan picks the wrong passage to translate; unleashing a wolf-like cartoon demon in the process. It promptly possesses Roxanne and she begins killing everyone off with eventual plans on releasing other demons from the book after she's harvested a few souls for Satan.While this was heavily-promoted as a Roger Rabbit-style merging of cartoon and live action in a horror-comedy context, you'll be extremely disappointed if you expect too much. There are only two toon sequences in the film lasting just a few minutes apiece and only in one of them does the demon actually interact with one of the actors. The less said about the plot the better, but in lieu of that we get some spirited bad acting, lots of dumb jokes (only some of which are funny), a few semi- famous stars in small roles (Arte Johnson is also on hand as the pervert neighbor) and nude scenes provided by each of the female stars. Miller ends up with the most amusing bit and has a very funny scene watching himself in A BUCKET OF BLOOD on TV and then spurning the sexual advances of his sexpot wife ("Special Guest Star" Michelle Bauer), who then is forced to retreat to her bedroom alone with her chainsaw. If you know anything about Ray, you'll know just what film he's alluding to there.Perhaps the biggest surprise of the cast is hardcore porn actress Stone, who's extremely lively and animated in her role. Her over-the-top campy performance and bizarre Valley Girl dialogue delivery make for a welcome contrast next to the more wooden performances from many of her co-stars and it's actually kind of a shame she didn't end up in more R-rated B- movies. Gabrielle is not a great actress either but she's oddly endearing playing a shy / innocent character for a change (plus her 'mirror scene' is probably the most memorable moment in the entire film). All in all, this hits and misses about equally, but it's at least upbeat, fun and made in good spirits.

Lee Eisenberg "Evil Toons" is one of many wacky comedy-horror flicks deliberately not taking itself seriously. This one has four twentyish women staying in an old mansion to spend the weekend cleaning it. A strange old man (David Carradine) gives them a book, which they read and release an evil spirit that materializes as a lecherous canine cartoon character and goes after the girls one by one.Of course, the movie's main strength is the women's nude scenes. Roxanne does a striptease, Megan fondles herself in front of a mirror, and there's other things. In fact, the DVD precedes the movie with an introduction by director Fred Olen Ray...and he's surrounded by naked women with breasts the size of watermelons. Really cool! (does it make me a chauvinist pig for saying that?) But overall, this is just a very funny movie. Probably the neatest character is B-movie veteran Dick Miller as the boss. In one scene, he watches Roger Corman's "A Bucket of Blood" - starring himself - and wonders why the star never won an Academy Award. I agree. On the Oscars just this past Sunday, they missed another chance to award him! Also starring Arte Johnson as the neighbor.

Lorinda-2 `Evil Toons' is a rather entertaining movie with fair to average acting, very attractive women running around with no clothes on, a not-too-bad of a plot, a very horney cartoon character with an extra long tongue, and plenty of laughable elements that make B movies so much fun. The movie isn't presented as a serious drama or even a serious comedy and one gets the impression that all the recognizable actors in it knew this in advance. After all, I hope they read the script prior to shooting. The movie begins with the typical horror genre; Four girls are hired to stay and clean a very large, but abandoned house. While cleaning, one of them finds a creepy looking book covered in real skin that contains pornographic images of cartoons and is written entirely in Latin. And wouldn't you know it, the geeky girl knows just enough Latin to get them all into trouble. As with any movie that ends up on the B listing, there could have been many improvements that would have made this movie better - but too late now - I doubt any of the actors will do a sequel.In short, don't expect too much more than a lot of good laughs accompanied by the shaking of your head. The movie is well worth the $5 rental fee.
