Far less crazy than it wants to be and far more soporific than a synopsis would suggest.

Vague Visages

Esterhazy’s direction is consistently flat and uninspired given the nonstop opportunities for twisted weirdness, but the failure of The Banana Splits Movie can be pinned almost entirely on the sawdust-packed script…

I feel like it was such a missed opportunity in this film not to go completely zany, over-the-top, kooky.

Slasher comedy-horror isn't a kid-friendly reboot.

There are not enough laughs to be scary and the scares are too feeble to be effective, but a few gory kills save the pic from landing in Dullsville, USA.

Yes, it's silly. Yes, the acting is bad. However, in an era of some of the best, most dread inducing horror we have ever had, sometimes it's next to throw ourselves back to a 90's horror camp era and just enjoy the kills.

Yes it is a movie that’s ridiculous, but it’s a good twisted childhood ruined horror film I think horror fans will love! Even if it’s ridiculous and some errors with the writing for some things to fix and more sense. But it doesn’t hold back with the great practical effects and the gore! Especially Eric Bauza surprisingly voicing the banana splits characters!

The show is less crazier, and all there is killing.

It's a stupid, stupid movie but it's a ton of fun. The kills are like a watered down Terrifier. The gore is still there, but it's not super excessive like the kills in that movie. I recommend to add this to your "bad, but fun" horror movie list. It's also obvious that the "animatronics" are just people in suits so you kind of have to buy into the fact that they're animatronics. Other than that, the movie is cool and I recommend it! I think it's worth a watch.

I loved it. Watched it few times and can see myself throwing it up on a drive-in screen in the back yard for a campy horror night with popcorn.
