you really see the difference when a director has a lot of love for the genre. even if they dont have the big budget - the love and entheusiasm shines through

I was kinda put off by the horror/comedy thing because it's been overdone and its tired to me and a lot of those flicks become overplayed (Army Of Darkness/Braindead/Shaun of the Dead. But it blew away all my apprehensions by being a innovative film of the subgenre and the best of its type since Evil Dead 2. I dig the lighthearted films especially I get burnt out by the extreme stuff... its good to chill out to something like Strange Invaders.
I dig the Toetag Pictures stuff for passion and love of the genre. They get dismissed as lowbrow/controversial/artless but their shit reminds me of the heyday of the Savini collaborations with William Lustig/Joesph Zito. The Redsin Tower was a better throwback to the 80s than Hatchet and their special effects are amazing. Hated by 90% of people but whatever I'd pick up something with their name attached to it than a lot of the indie dire indie shit out there.
