Vicious Fun

Joel, a caustic 1980s film critic for a national horror magazine, finds himself unwittingly trapped in a self-help group for serial killers. With no other choice, Joel attempts to blend in with his homicidal surroundings or risk becoming the next victim.
Oh my sweet Jesus, this was a nice surprise. I'm kind of a hard egg to crack with horror comedies, but I have to tell you, this was brilliant. It's a mix between The Babysitter and Fright Night, sprinkled with a number of characters that are clearly modeled after [spoiler] horror icons such as Jason Vorhees, the Chameleon from American Psycho, Hannibal Lecter [/spoiler] and more. Past that, the gore was a nice addition, as it was mostly practical. Shudder, you have a winner.
