Here's my take, If a horror flick is going to be funny, It better be damn funny.

But it must also separate the two i.e. has to be a horror film and a comedy and not both (horror fans know what I'm talking about here).

With that said, both Shaun of the Dead and Cabin Fever are two films I love that follow my above formula for greatness

it's been awhile so i might be a little off with some facts
That's right.
Spoiler:
At the end, the boy goes to the river and gets some water for lemonade, and at the end when they're having the hodown with the cops, they're all happily drinking flesh eating lemonade.


Welll, anyway, fun movie.

I can't even mention Shaun of the Dead and Cabin Fever in the same breath. Shaun was absolutely frikkin' brilliant and Cabin Fever easily my worst blind buy to date.

Cabin Fever is one of the few of over a hundred blind buys I have unloaded after watching. House of 1000 Corpses is another, if that helps.

Now go and watch the Time Machine and see if you can find a way to get the time you wasted back.

I wouldn't call that a shocking twist ending by any means. I could see it a mile away.

the story was pretty bad, but the acting was worse.
