Club Dread
4.0
(1)
"It's a comedy horror and the "slasher" scenes are mostly off camera, but it's from the guys that made Super Troopers, Beerfest, The Slammin' Salmon, et al. so the entire cast is charismatic in a charming stupid sort of way."

Wrong Turn series
4.0
(1)
"I kind of hate the Wrong Turn movies, but I really like how much that one subverts expectations. Between the "final girl" dying, the unexpected survivors, even the cliche horndog and tough lesbian kind of go flip some tropes. It's easily the best in the series imo."
