Horror / Comedy, 77 Minutes, 2011
While far from good this was actually, amazingly, pretty good. While you’ll get a lot of laughs from the acting (all bad but some was truly, horribly, hilariously bad) you’ll also get some from the actual script from things the writer wrote down then made his friends say on camera. You laugh at things actually intended to be funny. None of it is genius but just the existence of competence at this level goes a hell of long way.
It’s been a while since I’ve treated myself to a nice, relaxing crappy-movie marathon and I decided to, since I’d queued several, set my will against a trio of shark-themed fin-fests. Will I survive? Will I turn them off in disgust and return to “Skyrim” (they do need me there, what with all the dragons and unpludered crypts)?

As much as I’m normally a fan of the grindhouse genre and recent homages I found myself having trouble with “Hobo with a Shotgun”. It’s easy to take the simple path out: the film is meant, by loving design, to appear like the best (worst?) low-budget, over-the-top gore-fests of the early 80’s. Most people will watch a few minutes and walk away blaming the production values or the gore or both.

Pure crap.
This is actually listed as “comedy/horror” on IMDB and the only way that works is if you find it funny that anybody would find this scary and are horrified that anybody would find it funny.
