3.5/5.0
The FP works for its audience, a rowdy crowd of midnight movie fans willing to put up with over-the-top silliness, bad performances, and general lunacy. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press 03/22/2012
1/4
Rather than crafting a movie that's so bad it's good, writer-director brothers Jason and Brandon Trost have come up with something that's just plain bad -- and boring, and repetitive. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 03/16/2012
3/5
The film's goofy heart and soul (yes, it has one) is what sticks with you in the end and makes this crazed film into a potential cult-movie masterpiece. Go to Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See 07/11/2020

One of the loudest, most ridiculous, entertaining movies I've seen in a long, long time. Go to Full Review Ed Travis Hollywood Jesus 03/31/2020
Creative, wild, and absolutely depth-free... Go to Full Review William Bibbiani CraveOnline 08/22/2012
2/10
The film only embraces the most superficial aspects of the genre. The heart, the soul and the melodrama are all missing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steven C @StevenMnemonic Dec 11 The ultimate cult classic to keep in your pocket for when people talk about cult classics. Campy, fun, hilarious. See more Chris H @RT90239007 02/23/2023 An absolute cult classic. Only real ninjas will understand. See more 09/23/2021 Honestly could not finish this garbage . I’m all for a silly movie but it’s gotta be funnier than this See more 12/01/2020 This is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life. I regularly watch SyFy originals. I have seen Troll 2. I even saw some of Sausage Party. This is still the most painful movie to watch. I don't know if I want to recommend this movie for laughs, or warn everyone away from it. See more 06/27/2019 They deserve awards just for keeping a Straight Face while challenging for a "Beat Off!" See more 01/27/2016 The story is insane, the dialogue is tacky and repetitive, the characters make no sense and the entire film is bad. However that doesn't mean it isn't fun to watch. Grab a group of friends and laugh hysterically and the terribleness. It's also incredibly quotable and lends itself to great inside jokes. See more Read all reviews
