Club Dread (2004)
6/10
a few good laughs
1 March 2015
Pleasure Isand, Costa Rica is a resort hounded by a serial killer. The place is owned by the once famous musician Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton). The island communication and transport get cut off. The killer leaves writing on a board targeting the staff and warns them to do their job. Pete's former tour security ex-FBI agent Hank (M.C. Gainey) is on the case. The killer could be anyone. Sam is the Fun Police brigade. Jenny (Brittany Daniel) is the sexy aerobics instructor. Lars is the new masseuse with magic fingers. Putman (Jay Chandrasekhar) is the tennis instructor. Yu (Lindsay Price), Juan and Dave are some of the other staff. Penelope (Jordan Ladd) seems to be an innocent guest.

There are a few good laughs but it's mostly a hit and miss comedy. This sex romp horror-comedy actually got me interested in the murder mystery as much as the comedy. I was oddly following the whodunit. This exists somewhere in the middle. It's too silly to be a scary horror but it's not funny enough to be a full-on spoof.
