Other than looking at itself just a bit tongue in cheek, this film is not funny, not at all. It's just confusing and gross. A couple of the characters were a bit quaint, and the acting wasn't too bad, at least. Honorable mention to the scary nurse.
I suspect the film quality is intentionally grainy and "50's Era Sci-Fi" on purpose, as that is the kooky, slightly cheesy ambiance this movie was trying to go for - at first - until it got so lost in its own BS, that the director, editor, actors, and especially the viewer, just gives up.
It's really, really too bad the director didn't have another script writer, one that could figure out a track - and stay on it. The biggest failing of this almost-made-something horror flick is that it didn't know what it's own story was; so it tries to be everything; thereby failing in all genres. It's a tossed salad of horror, suspense, sci-fi, self-mockery, a nod to vintage monster movies, with a topping of utter grossness to irritate us people with polite sensibilities; also to scare off any family viewers.
I have a tolerance for young movie makers who 'get' the fun vibe of old movies and respectfully try to replicate it; Especially the Monster Movies from the 50's and 60's Hollywood B-movie mills. Fifteen-foot tarantulas, giant aliens, and the classic Fly with Vincent Price brought a simple story and entertainment value.
I hope this movie crew hones their skills, gets their minds out of the gutter, finds a real script, and 'Picks a Lane!' and stays in it, as we say on the busy American freeways. It would be nice to see some genuine quality B-entertainment rise out of the mass quantities of movie swill.
