OMG this is my friend's movie! This started as a short almost 20 years ago and he eventually made it into a feature! It makes me so happy to see this here.

They really throw the gauntlet down for cheeky/bloody horror comedy with the scene of his parents dying in gruesome accidents one after the other. It was simultaneously awful and morbidly funny.

That is a fantastic premise.

There are so many scenes in this that are fun. Can't lie though: we kept skipping ahead in the second half, as the runtime overstayed its welcome a bit.

Also CW: dead dog; flippant use of AIDS as a punchline; "cross-dressers" joke.
