Tries real hard, but yields very little. Deservedly obscure early 80's horror spoof. Go to Full Review

Darren B 02/25/2024 I remember watching this in the 80's and thought in parts it was hilarious…."What difference does it make" made me laugh so much and "How can you love me with these…humongous…eye brows" It was what it was daft 80's humour… See more 05/29/2021 This is my favorite film from childhood, and when I've found it randomly over the years (it's a hard one to find), I giggle like a little kid. There's not many films from my childhood where the jokes still hit (Franklyn Ajaye as Leroy, "The Libray is closed. All white people must leave!") and it isn't combative to our collective wokeness to our brainwashing by pop culture, "You're Doooooomed!". I find something new in it every viewing even though it regurgitates a lot of old parodies. Man oh man--this is the ultimate comfort food film for me. Mashed potatoes goodness. See more 02/26/2019 well here it is folks my favourite comedy of all time, ive watched hysterical so many times but even after all these years itstill has me in tears......YOUR DOOMED lol, enjoy See more 03/11/2013 I remember liking this movie when I saw it once when I was around 8 years old and now realize that it was probably a good way to waste an afternoon. Looking back, I think it was corny and childish. See more 09/14/2011 welcome to the town of hellview! See more 05/25/2011 Classic campy horror comedy from the mid 80's. Very funny. The Hudson Brothers deliver. You're doomed!! See more Read all reviews
