Killer Pad

When you think of Robert Englund...if you're like me, you think of Freddy Krueger.  But, after seeing the new horror comedy, Killer Pad, you'll probably see Mr. Englund as more than an actor, you'll see him as a pretty damn good director too!

  Killer Pad is the story of three goof-balls from the mid-west, who have decided to take the money they've received from a veterinary lawsuit and move to L.A. to live the 'good life'.  The problem comes when the apartment complex they planned on moving into, won't allow pets.  So, as luck would have it, they find the one real estate agent in town who's willing to help them.  And the house she picks out for the guys is an amazing place!  A mansion in the Hollywood Hills, and it's theirs for the small, small price of their souls.  You see, the house it warm and smells bad, and it's not because of the people who lived there before, it's from the portal to Hell that's in the basement!

 

 

Killer Pad plays almost like an up-to-date Beverly Hillbillies, the goofy, fish-out-of-water characters, mixed with the horror elements hit the perfect mix!  Robert Englund has done what most director only strive to do, taken a comedy, mixed in a bit of horror and made it all work together seamlessly.  The jokes are great, the characters are perfect, the chicks are hot and the story moves along without dragging in the middle (as a lot of these kinds of movies do), it may be the best comedy of the year.  And, sadly, most of the people I've talked to haven't heard of it!  Alright, America!  Here's the call, drop that copy of I Am Legend, put down your stupid chick flicks and grab this movie!  You won't be disappointed, I laughed through the entire movie...and, after the ending, I can't wait to see where these guys move next!  Mr. Englund, I was always a fan, but my hat is totally off to your talent, you obviously have far more to offer than what most people believe and I, for one, apologize for underestimating you!!!  I'm giving Killer Pad four out of four cigars, because it's one of those movies that you rent, and then want to head out to buy, because you know you're going to be watching this again when all the guys come over!  So, until next time, when I'll be searching for a real estate agent who can get me this great a deal, remember that the best movies are bad movies.
