An enjoyable comedy about a beauty pageant in the style of a documentary. It has a great cast in their earlier years here. It has some very funny moments, quite a dark comedy overall not afraid to make fun of its self. Glad I got round to watching it.

A dark tale of love, marriage and satan worship. Plenty of twists and turns and even some dark comic relief scenes. The acting was good, cinematography was great. The were pretty decent (gruesome) effects. Comedy/horror movie fans will enjoy this one. Not really for the little ones though. Worth a watch!

Extremely dark, black comedy based on a true story
That scene woodchipper scene will haunt me for life.
Truth is definitely stranger than fiction. This extremely dark 'comedy' is now infamous in gallows humour. Without revealing everything, a woman is kidnapped by a psychotic conman and his slightly weedy partner for ransom. Her husband is in charge of gaining this ransom from his father-in-law, only for things to go very, very wrong.
It's a classic cult film, not for everyone. But if you loved 'In Bruges', this will be right up your street.

Good Story
Great film
I love this film. I love this film so much. I can quote it word for word.
If you like zombie films and dark comedy, this is your film. Despite the fact the film is a dark comedy, and it is hilarious, it does also have some soft, more intimate, spots in it which make you connect with the characters on a more personal level, something comedy films do not traditionally do, I feel.
The film isn't serious which is why I like it so much. But it is well performed and well made piece, with a good pace and story line to it. There is character development. There is also plot development to an extent but that is not essential to the story line. The story is about four characters on an adventure through a zombie apocalypse where they learn and grow from each other and not about the zombie apocalypse itself.
Overall, well worth the watch.
And let's not forget it has Bill f**king Murray!

Favourite of the two sequels very dark with elements of comedy thrown in. Mount as good as the original but it's up there. Amelia kincade is back as angela and is just as scary thanks to the makeup effects. Overall good sequel
