No Budget Theatre

Review by Horror Anthology Junkie.

When they say "No Budget Theatre" they really mean it. It is obvious that this movie was made by people who really enjoyed the process and were mostly broke. This gives the movie an amateurish film school project feel. But as the saying goes "when life gives you lemons make lemonade" The filmmakers, knowing they could not recreate Citizen Kane, decide to double down on how bad it is. They make you feel like they are letting the viewer in on the joke. Easier said then done but they manage to pull it off for the most part. The opening segment is a satire on the rogue cop on a mission of revenge. Skeleton cop is by far the star of the film and worthy of his own feature. He is a literal skeleton wearing a hat and badge who just screams when trying to communicate. He solves his cases basically by spraying a copious amount of bullets into everything that moves leaving piles of dead and mutilated bodies. The second segment is about a young man who is out trying to get supplies in a dystopian future hellscape due to what appears to be a zombie apocalypse. Next we are given a buddy cop segment featuring two cops who appear to be ex special forces which allows them to fight multiple groups of criminals in a homage to 80s badass cop movies. Lastly, we end up in space where a group of space cops must stop an evil space villain from acquiring what he needs to rule space or something.. What they did not expect is the return of, you guessed..Skeleton Cop! Which brings the movie, if you made it this far, on somewhat of a high note. This is not to be mistaken for a serious film but if you are stoned and just looking for an off the wall parody that was obviously made by people who loved making it then you might just enjoy it.
