Chillerama (2011)

So..this is a campy romp of numerous shorts. It is interesting to watch but what do you say about this movie? Boobs and sex..OK so that is typical with any horror movie. This is a major "cum" fest on many levels. It has many interesting cast members that have a lot of talent. Why they chose to do this movie is beyond me. The first title is "Wadzilla"...about a giant sperm that grows and attacks people. Need I say more? It has many elements of the horror genre..zombies, hacking off heads, boobs everywhere. I like the campy aspect of this movie but I really don't know if I would recommend it. I guess if you have nothing better to do and want a horror movie with a laugh factor then watch on.

I can not emphasize how awful this movie was.The notion is that on the last night of a Drive In theater's run, they run four lost classics of film. Meanwhile, there is a sub-plot of a theater employee who get infected with Zombie juice when trying to violate his dead wife's grave.The first one is about a giant sperm that attacks the city. While it is done in the form of similar movies about giant monsters, it is neither funny or tasteful.The second is about a "were-bear" which is a gay musical. Frankly, offensive to everyone, gay, straight or ursine.The third is about Hitler trying to make a Frankenstein monster after stealing "Ann Frankenstein's" diary. Yes, it is unfunny and tasteless and gives "they saved Hitler's brain" a new dignity.The final film I won't even describe here, because it frankly segues into the awful Zombie subplot, which includes a baby being eaten by its parents. Awful, terrible, bad taste all around.

From some of this generations most innovative filmmakers comes a film that pushes the boundaries of good taste and endeavors to bring the good ol' style of the drive-in right into your living room. Does it succeed? For the most part, yes! Segment One, Wadzilla, features star/director Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City)as a timid businessman who is given experimental medicine to increase his sperm count, only to unleash a monster of immeasurable horror! The effects are charmingly horrible but it is quite a funny ride.Segment Two, I Was a Teenage Werebear is, unfortunately, the proverbial black sheep of the family. Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs) is a real talent but the short's taboo pressing plot line only serves to alienate this movie's target demographic (straight males). It is a rousing musical about a sexually confused young man who is bitten by a were-bear (long story) and struggles to keep his morality.Segment Three, Adam Green's (Hatchet, Frozen)The Diary of Anne Frankenstien, is a real treat. Although admittedly a little short on the horror aspect, it is actually quite funny. The Nazi's, led by Joel David Moore as Hitler, attempt to use Anne Frankenstien's journal to build a monster to help in the war effort. This segment is shot in a sublime old fashioned style and is subtitled as everyone speaks authentic German except for Hitler himself, who comes off as quite a bumbling fool.Segment Four, Joe Lynch's (Wrong Turn 2) Zom-B-Movie, serves as the wraparound story and as the finale and it is just righteously over the top fun enough to completely win over this reviewer. A zombie outbreak threatens the people who had to sit through the last three shorts only to be threatened by a pack of sexually charged zombies. The real highlight is character actor Richard Riehle who gets to brandish a shotgun and quote more movies then any character in history.For this reviewer's money, this movie succeeded at becoming exploitation without falling prey to insincerity like the similarly themed Grindhouse.

This movie kinda blew it's load early with the first story being by far the best. I was laughing my ass off the whole way, definite fun.That's where it went down hill a bit, with the second story having a very homo-erotic type of theme, the acting was pretty bad, and the storyline just wasn't there for me.By the time the third one got going I was severely loosing interest, and it wasn't the "Troma" type of effects, again overall in the end it just felt too cheap, even for a super low budget, I've seen some masterpieces pulled off with a shoe-string budget. I gave it a five and that was mainly due to the first tale. Troma fans will enjoy, it's more of a comedy than anything else.
