Charon - This strange tale about a man's journey to escape his overprotective mother is an interesting twist on the genre, and will make even the stauchest critics of horror comedy chuckle often. I personally am one of those people, and I'm sure that's no real secret to anyone. This film was definitely something, and I expected to not enjoy it at all but surprisingly enough it's quite good for what it is. The cast is mostly good; many of the zombies don't get lost in the background, and I especially loved Father McGruder, the Lord's asskicker. The gore here is at times pretty high, but it really is tempered quite a bit by all the comedy at play here. It treats gore in a much different way than some of the other films on the list that employ it, and it has my respect for making me see that not every horror comedy is bad.

Genny - Dead Alive and Cemetery Man have a lot of the same "charm", but where one fails the other succeeds in its comedic efforts. "I kick ass for the Lord" might be my favorite line in this project. Is it delivered better than "I see dead people" or "What's in the box"? No. Is it acted as professionally as "Do you still hear the screaming of the lambs"? Definitely not. Is it more iconic than all these and more? Naw, but dammit there's so much charisma in it and that's indicative of the movie as a whole. I eventually even overlooked the gross out action and learned to enjoy it. 7/10

Scarlet - Two things. First of all, I watched a show called Braindead a couple of years ago. This was not related to that show. That was a big strike against. Second of all, Wickle should not watch this movie. This is functionally, Yo dawg, so I herd you liek gore so I put some gore in your gore. I really do have a line when it comes to gore itself, and while I could see how this movie might be amusing to some really sick sons of bitches who probably have no conception of decorum and show up to black tie dinner events and talk about how they saw a truck disembowel a deer on a highway on the way to the social function, I myself believe that if a movie makes you feel like not eating, its doing a bad job. Theaters need to sell concessions, not clean them up from the floor when they are regurgitated. Blergh. Ew. Gross.
Rating: 21/100

Johnbobb - God that fucking custard scene almost made me puke. I mean, I'm fine with gore and horror, and I'm fine with gore used for comedic purposes. The gross wackiness kind of reminded me of Drag Me to Hell, which I loved. But this is just... that's all it is. It seems like it's just taking ridiculous gore effects, pointing at them, and saying "HAHA look how gross that is!" And sure, they're gross, but I've seen enough over-the-top horror at this point that goofy, gross-out effects just don't do it for me without there being more of a draw beyond that. And if the movie itself wasn't gross enough, the music is just real unappealing. Like distractingly bad daytime soap music.

Karo - A young man's mother gets turned into the undead by a monkey bite and he ends up with an ever increasing collection of pet zombies and everything turns gross and stupid like zombies having sex to make zombie babies and scores of meaningless disembowelments of human and undead alike. The film is a thoroughly unpleasant experience filled with nonsensical plot turns and insensitive ethnic stereotyping, and it is rife with feeble attempts at humor that only serve to turn the stomach and it some cases rip it out entirely. The story gets ever more idiotic the longer it goes on, and pretty much just gives up by a certain point. But hey, as long as we spray enough fake blood around to fill an olympic sized swimming pool we don't need anything else, right? I couldn't think of a more apt title, because braindead is exactly what this movie is.

Listen, suffering is a fact of life. Either you learn how to deal with that or you go under.
