"I'm going to name an ulcer after each and every one of you."

How is it Wil Daniels doesn't have top billing for this flick? He dominates the story and is in just about every scene. Maybe it's a rhetorical question, no need to get back to me.

This film is funny in parts dealing with a gruesome subject. A character committing suicide has been done a number of times before; 1971's "Harold and Maude" wasn't so over the top, and more recently, "A Man Called Otto" turned into a life affirming story. This one is just absurd for the sake of being absurd. It explores the many ways a guy, Garrett (Daniels), can find a way to knock off a bunch of neighborhood folks before his ex-girlfriend Mia (Sara Tomko), pizza guy Rick (Nate Panning), and his girlfriend Abigail/Poodle (Julia Lehman) can get the best of him. In a weird consequence of timing, Sid Haig makes an appearance a few years after his death in what only seems appropriate for a movie like this. Corey Feldman is on hand too in a much too short a role, he should have been a principal.

Not much else to say about the picture. Know what to expect going into this, it's bloody and violent, but the dialog is often hilarious, especially in the case of pizza guy Rick. There's no way he should have made it through the story given everything Garrett did to him, he had to have an amazing constitution.
