danielladue Review of Tales from the Crapper

Tales from the Crapper (2004 Video)

Trash! Even if you accidentally drank the bong water, you still know this sucks

[1/10 · 6 December 2019]

I've reviewed many films in many genres (But a lot of horror, because there is so many levels). This is flat out trash that made me angry that it ever fouled my eyes and ears. I've seen a ton of low budget films, but this is by far the worst. Acting, music, directing, script, and voice acting is just awful. It is what happens when you give a stoned teenager a camera... Perhaps someone will mention that I don't understand that this is satire, but I'm not mentally ill. Films Like Scary Movie 1 or Don't be a Menace while Drinking Juice in the Hood are solid examples of satire and spoof movies. This is just abusive to human senses. The jokes are less than Sophomoric. They are pre-school. How many times can a fart sound be used in one film? The visuals and audio are worse than the projects I made in school. Lastly, it has the cardinal sin of pretending to spoof or have any connection to Tales From the Crypt. The EC Comics are wonderful parts of our culture. The type of fun horror that can connect generations of people. Creepshow 1&2, as well as the TV show, Tales from the Crypt TV shows, and it's films are American staples. Many other films have followed in the EC Comics tradition with dignity like Cat's Eye, Tales From the Darkside movie, Trick R Treat, or even the ABC's of Death... Even if the makers want to spoof the anthology EC style, they could've reached for more quality like Tales from the Hood... The saving grace for this POS is supposed to be all the naked girls, but most of them are gross, have obvious plastic surgery, and probably are strippers in the poor sections of California. Why make your "hot girls" keep farting over and over? It wasn't funny the 1st time, and down right anger inducing the 500th time. I've never been so unimpressed. Might actually be the worst film I've ever seen. I probably spent more time and energy critiquing it than they did making it.
