The Retarded Horror Movie Online Review–Truth In Advertising

On September 28th, 2009

You know…I’ve seen a lot of goofy crap in my day, but pushing its way onto the list of all time goofiest crap ever just might be The Retarded Horror Movie, and once again, you may save your flames as that is a QUOTE.

And in this one, a young man left alone for the weekend discovers that he’s got a lot bigger problems than no friends and a really short attention span–he’s being stalked by a serial killer.

I have to admit that I spent a lot of time laughing during The Retarded Horror Movie, mostly because the kid who actually put this together slung a whole lot of jokes and weirdness into this little short film.

In fact, he may well have figured out at this early age how to make a great short film by not taking anything too seriously at any point and instead running wild with the funny.  He didn’t really have the time to do anything big with the plot, so why not dump all that time into dumb, funny stuff?  You’ll love the choreography of the “fight scene”, or at least I did, and “dumb funny stuff” explains roughly half the movie.

The Screenhead Ten Scale gives this one a six out of ten–it’s way too low-budget to do much better than that, but it’s still better than a lot of stuff out there.

    what’s retarded about it???? retarded doesn’t mean stupid. Just slower than you and me. That being said there is always going to be someone smarter than you, but you wouldn’t call yourself retarded, right? That word is a terrible slur. Too bad that you have to have a family member with special needs to get what I’m saying.

    Mike–once again, THAT IS A QUOTE.

    THE NAME OF THE FILM IS “THE RETARDED HORROR MOVIE”.

    I’m not going to edit movie titles to meet some vague standard of political correctness. And I’m not going to refuse coverage to movies that use words that offend people, either. Maybe it’s just that I have more courage than the average reviewer. Maybe you don’t understand courage. That’s okay. But please, don’t accuse me of using “slurs” for quoting others.
