Claudio C Vicious Fun (2020) Serial-Killers Meeting (11,644 – 26 Apr 2025 - by Claudio Carvalho) In 1983, in Minnesota, a woman asks for a ride outside a motel and a car stops. When she gets into, the driver is a serial-killer, but she stabs him to death first. Meanwhile, the film critic and writer of the horror magazine Vicious Fanatic, Joel (Evan Marsh), interviews the director Jack Portwood (Gord Rand) of low budget horror movies, and gives the idea of a taxi driver serial-killer. Joel returns home and sees his roommate Sarah (Alexa Rose Steele) returning home with her new boyfriend Bob (Ari Millen). Joel has a crush on Sarah and decides to follow Bob to check whether he is married. Bob stops at a Chinese restaurant and Joel starts a conversation with him at the bar, drinking a lot of booze with him. Bob leaves the bar with another woman and the drunken Joel faints in a service room inside the restaurant. When he wakes up, he walks dizzily and sees that the restaurant is closed. He stumbles upon a group of men seated in a circle of chair – the psychotic serial-killers Fritz (Julian Richings); Mike (Robert Maillet); Hideo (Sean Baek) and Zachary (David Koechner) - and a woman, Carrie (Amber Goldfarb), discussing how to kill and dispose of a body. Joel is mistakenly taken as Phil, who is missing, but when Bob arrives, he is exposed. Carrie helps him and he learns that she belongs to an organization of vigilantes that get rid of serial-killers, and she killed Phil. She also kills Hideo in the kitchen. However, Joel activates the fire alarm and now Carrie and he have to flee from the police and from the killers. “Vicious Fun” (2020) is a great Canadian comedy-horror movie, with a hilarious and full of action story. The loser Joel is a film critic with an unrequited crush on his roommate and gets into trouble when he decides to investigate her new boyfriend. On the other side, Carrie is a vigilante, experienced in murdering serial-killers that teams up with Joel. His muddles are hilarious, but in the end, he helps Carrie. The scene during the credits shows Jack Portwood using the idea of the taxi driver driller. My vote is seven Title (Brazil): “Círculo Vivioso” (“Vicious Circle”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review KerryWhite's S Rating: 7/10. 77/100 Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Peter W Overall, I had a great time with this film. It's funny, random, wild, violent and bloody. Nothing about Vicious Fun was ever predictable, and performances in the film were also fun.  Additionally, we have a soundtrack from the '80s, which only put an even bigger smile on my face. For the most part, the pacing is excellent, but the film does slow down ever so slightly before the third and final bloody showdown.  Combined, these factors will leave audiences wanting more films like this one. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review brad p Bloody, heartfelt, and hilarious, Vicious Fun is one of the best horror comedies in years. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Hugo S A horror film critic gets accidentally involved in a self-help group for serial killers. But a great danger arises when his true identity is disclosed. "Vicious Fun" succeeds as a comedy-horror movie that pays homage to the slasher hits of the 80's. Pure entertainment! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Carlos I Like The Rise of Leslie Vernon, this deconstructs slasher tropes and puts them in a fun and ridiculous high concept idea. Evan Marsh is an engaging lead as the final boy that has to survive a night of various serial killers trying to get him. I have a feeling this may be headed for cult film status.
