Comedy slasher film CLUB DREAD is a better slasher movie than 40% of legitimate Slasher movies (I'm looking at you Jason Goes To Hell, you pigfucking piece of shit.). The story is about a Slasher movie-style murderer killing the dick out of everybody on a private resort island ran by a 3rd-rate Jimmy Buffett burnout named Coconut Pete, brilliantly played by Bill Paxton. The Broken Lizard guys are all employees on the island.
After the standard Slasher movie opening kill scene, we're introduced to Lars (who is a new employee) arriving with a new boatload of vacationers. The boat leaves and now they're all alone on the island with no way off. Partying ensues. Before too long the killings are discovered by the employees, but, with their only radio destroyed, the staff are forced to keep the murders secret (or risk starting a mass panic) and catch the killer themselves.
That might sound serious, but it's not. The entire movie is the Broken Lizard guys up to non-stop crazy (and hilarious) shit. Fast pace, solid direction, entertaining story, mild tit action, tons of quotable lines. I've seen CLUB DREAD probably 25 times over the years and it's still a fun watch. Recommended for sure.
It'd make a great double-feature with THE SLAMMIN' SALMON.
Not part of the review: It'd be funny if the Broken Lizard team made a CLUB DREAD 2, but made it 100% absolutely serious as shit. I'm talking INSIDE-level viewer trauma. Keep the same silly title font, lighthearted poster artwork and upbeat opening credits, then just brutally eyeball fuck the audience to death. Give 'em a really extraordinary case of the wonky britches.
