This movie failed on quite a lot of levels. The special effects at times are cheap, the dialogue is horrible and the acting not much better. The comedy and dialogue feels like something you'd find in a late 90s nickelodeon show for teens but the violence is pretty extreme and the two do not compliment each other at all. We are expected to believe that a kid who saw his mother killed by an escaped mental patient grew up to be a horror movie fanatic who's bedroom is covered in horror memorabilia. Ridiculous. The writer / director is actually the worst thing in this movie. He cannot act and the fact he put himself in the movie shows what a narcisist he must be. His absence from the movie would have improved it a lot as whenever he was on screen with his minions I felt like I was watching an episode of the power rangers. With a fair bit of tweaking this could have been something special but sadly it's a horrible mess with ludicrous storyline. The zombie and vampire explanations being by the worst. The reason I didn't score this lower is that the makeup effects are actually pretty decent.
