POSSIBLE SMALL SPOILERS !!!
Dr. Giggles is a film you certainly won't regret watching. That is IF you're fond of absurd and over the top humor and if you can handle quite a share of blood and gore. Larry Drake is Dr. Giggles. A brilliant yet pretty disturbed man who's not too shy kill a large amount of people. Above that, he knows all the typical medical clichés and he's not afraid to use them. I don't believe any existing "doctor-quote" or aspect isn't used here. He can't kill anybody without saying something funny. This becomes pretty rediculous after a while but hey, the gore is there. Do not expect a scary thriller with some good plot twists or anything. You can point out exactly who'll die and won't. No surprises there.
Usually, doctors or scientists gone mad provide the genre with some of the best films. Anyone remembers Dr. Phibes and Dr. Orloff ?? Even Dr. Herbert West and Victor Frankenstein fit in this category. All these characters have great motivations for killing and they have fascinating background stories. Dr. Giggles doesn't, but please don't let that spoil the fun for you. He's the son of another crazy doctor and he's more than happy to follow into his footsteps. Therefore he returns to the town where his old man had its practice and start killing random teenagers and any other persons who stand in his way. He sure loves his job and he slaughters in the most creative and disgusting ways. As usual, true love survives and the villain returns a couple of times before he's really dead. That's about it. Filled with clichés and very predictable but fun nevertheless. Excellent stuff to watch with a large group of people with a huge amount of beer and popcorn besides you.
Honorable mention certainly goes out to Larry Drake. This guy is a very underrated actor. He's very well cast here and he lives up to that other good performance of his...Darkman.
Favorite "rewind"-moment : Through a flash-back, it becomes clear who Evan ( Dr. Giggles ) escaped from his father's house. In a very bloody scene, he is re-born through his dead mother...Good stuff
