Recap:

The parents have gone to a wedding and leave the twenty somethings home alone. The one with the huge production values watches a DVD called Terror Toons, the other is having a full blown orgy, complete with wine cooler and strip ouija.

Wonder why? There is nudity or sex in this movie, and its title gives away that the slashers come not from the ouija board but from the DVD.

Well, if you haven’t got a budget you can still use your skills, work with what you’ve got and create a a small but precious gem. Or, especially if you’re not so skilled, you can go all over the top and create something new, never seen before, that finds its audience because it stands out by standing alone. That’s what they were going for here, and I really wanted them to succeed. But alas, some filmmakers seem to use the lack of budget as an excuse for not even trying. WTF! When you ain’t got real actors it’s twice as important to work with your cast, when you waste big portions of the budget on a porn star it’s important to have nudity and sex in the movie, and if you want to make a comedy by no means you should ever even consider to start filming before you have funny script.

The one thing that speaks for this movie are the slashers Doctor Carnage and Max Assassin. They are new and never seen before, and I like the way they go over the top. They are the reason why I give generous 3*, but don’t let your hopes get too high, because in the end the film is really not good.
