comedy horror
i absolutely love this sub genre. i don't mean the kind of film that tries to be serious but is so bad that it's funny, or out and out spoofs like scary movie or club dread (both of which sucked IMO). i mean the ones that know they're ridiculous and go straight for the jugular. evil dead 2 and 3 or cabin fever are prime examples but my absolute favorite comedy horror has got to be lake placid. it has some decent gore and a few scares, but the main ingredient here is laughter. betty white? are you kidding me? not to mention oliver platt and bridgette fonda in knockout performances. this film received terrible reviews because critics were too stupid to realize the entire movie was a joke. what film maker in their right mind would put a thirty foot croc in a fresh water lake in maine and actually be serious about it. anyway, i'm rambling. feel free to comment on lake placid your favorite horromedy.
