Steve Dread Central This is a blacker than black comedy, with some truly side-splitting moments (in a weird way) Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 7, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I found this way funnier than a normal person probably should have. Some plot points were predictable but it was overall fun and enjoyable for me. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Cheesy and low budget it may be, but this movie is packed with charm and (very) dark humor. Despite it not being exceptionally hilarious or groundbreaking in any way, it is definitely entertaining. Also, Matthew Gray Gubler is brilliant (as always). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A really unique and entertaining movie. Also quite educational. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Clarke kills it. The dialog is fantastic. It was dark humor at it's best. However it kind of drags a bit and as much as I loved the self-help literature/motivational speaker schtick at first the novelty wears out a bit. Well worth the watch Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A unique concept with some of the worst execution you will see in a film. It's most notable flaw being its dreadful sound design. Yes, you will stop watching simply to remove yourself from the pitiful score. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't think it would be nearly as funny to me if I didn't watch Criminal Minds. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
