I agree with the comment I just read about this in saying, I don't see why this movie got a bad wrap, I thought it was great.The only problem I really had was the intense over-acting of Brody, but at the same time, it made it a tad bit funnier. I think Englund did an amazing job with this film, probably one of the best horror-comedy films I have seen in a while.The only other thing I could have changed in this movie was the really lame "lets dress up a dead body to make it look alive again." Weekend at Bernies could do it and make it funny, this movie didn't. I liked the cameo by Bobby Lee, he made the movie just that much more funny. But then again, you could put Bobby Lee in anything and it would make it funny.Midgits, Pornstars and Satan, what more could you ask for?

Three stereotypical guys...though in this case all three come off as homosexual airheads...move to L.A. to "start their lives" where they are directed to a mansion by a transsexual realtor. After moving in, it's apparent that the house harbors a gateway to Hell, but they ignore this to throw a party under the persuasion of three stereotypical sluts. What had potential to be a decent, tongue-in-the-cheek parody of horror films quickly turns into a virtually unwatchable, unfunny, horribly acted and scripted take on what America has ignorantly considered to be funny for the last ten years: feces jokes, unrealistically slutty teens, midgets, and token racial characters. It's blatantly obvious why this film went straight to DVD with very little marketing. Englund really should have used the alias "Alan Smithee" instead of taking credit for the direction.

I'll still go with Return of the Boogeyman as the worst movie of all time, but this dud's in my bottom twenty. That's quite an accomplishment. I give very few movies a "1," but this sucker deserves less.Here's the deal. Three teens rent a near-mansion (that they consider a "pad") above the portal to hell. The best parts of this movie (plot, sense, meaning) are awful. What lowers this beneath most other train wrecks is the strive for comedy in every single word uttered by the ugly, flamboyant, s*** eating leads. Honestly, I'd rather have spent 84 minutes in a highway rest stop on National Chili Day.This is the kind of steaming pile that nobody involved with will ever want anything to do with. The actors will blame the director for their bad performances, the director will blame producers about creative control, and producers will blame everyone but themselves.

I watched this film after seeing it was produced by the team that did "Dude where's my car". I know it's not the best reason to watch a film, but what the heck? I had an afternoon to kill.There are some films that transcend the depths of awfulness and are then actually reborn again as an entertaining must see movie (See Vanilla Ice's classic Cool as Ice). However this film is just truly terrible. The characters are your typical stereotypes and the film just goes from one bad joke to another for 90 minutes. I don't know why but I watched the film to the end, I guess I'm a sucker for punishment. Once it did finish I was just left wishing that I could get the 90 minutes of my life back that I had just wasted. I was left feeling dirty and violated so I then watched Leon to try and cleanse myself once more.
