This movie is a lot of fun! Low budget and intentionally campy comedy/satire in a way that feels more like a passion project by those involved than a soulless cheap cash grab like most Asylum movies with similar names. It’s gone over well with lots of laughs from most people I’ve shown it to, regardless of whether they usually like bad movies or not. So I feel pretty confident broadly recommending it to anyone at this point!
Just to clarify this was an intentional choice not due to a lack of talent, as many of the jokes in this movie rely on that cheap amateur feel to deliver their setup and payoff. This movie and it’s particular style of silly self aware humor simply would not work in a well polished more typical quality movie production.
I totally agree with you in most cases, but by many accounts this is a funny movie on purpose rather than finding humor in its unintentional blunders trying to be something else, so it’s only really a “bad movie” in aesthetic. In this case, the veneer of a bad movie is just another tool for making the jokes and a stylistic choice rather than an overall descriptor of any lacking quality in the writing, performance, or technical aspects. Based on that understanding, I would say they actually made a pretty good movie by achieving what they actually set out to make and the movie’s audience enjoying it for its intended purpose.
I can definitely agree with that, thanks for sharing! It feels like the intent this time around feels more like an attempt to cram more weird experimental and varied choices into the records runtime possibly at the cost of more memorable melodies and repeated parts to catch on to. I can see how far that idea goes for you would likely boil down to individual preference. However I will say it’s only grown on me on repeat listens and personally I’ll gladly trade some catchiness for whatever Exeg(en)esis is! 😅
