The once great Freddy Kruger and horror B-Movie Icon Robert Englund knows horror, right? Absolutely. Comedy? Kinda. Making films? Eh, not too bad.So, Dude, Where's My Salvation, or Killer Pad, is a leave-your-brain-at-the-door comedy-horror with actors who, honestly, tried their best. Maybe my heart was softened for once, I am supposed to hate this kind of movie, after all, but I honestly thought this was harmless fun. And if the three main dudes didn't put so much energy into their slacking & wise-cracking roles, this movie would've collapsed into the depths of direct-to-video Hell.Three east coast dudes, Doug, Craig and Brody (Franzese, Jungmann and McRae) who think it's 1,300 miles from Arizona to California, embark on the rebirth of their life and of course, chicks, man. The first crappy apartment falls through and they're too dense to see the "too good to be true" multimillion dollar city view "pad" is way out of their price range. Heck, it's out of six of me. Luckily they had the ever hilarious Bobby Lee (playing Winnie a female real estate agent who's "strangely" not affected by the housing crisis) introduce them to a place to get the ladies who wouldn't normally pay them a glance.Enter every cliché involving a "HOUSE BUILT ON NATIVE American CEMETERIES" and you have the rest of the movie where these fools, though sweet hearted BFFs, host a house party with pretty chicks and the stereotypical males, including Joey Lawrence as himself and the inevitable little person and the night goes to hell.You have to HAVE TO know what you're getting yourself into. It's completely and utterly silly but it's fun to watch how these doofuses handle each situation – i.e. the exact opposite from any rational person. In fact, a live action Scooby-Doo was my thoughts of these three guys.Again, the guys have such energy, you have to give them kudos for the material they're given. And Englund, who surprisingly didn't make a cameo, didn't do a bad job at direction. Most special effects worked, but the ones that didn't – i.e. twisting head and the ladies falling into hell in the closing – were just plain awful. Not funny, just bad.Seriously, I laughed and some of the ongoing jokes were funny so I would recommend, slightly. It's not set to win awards, but perhaps a good drinking game.
... View Moreone of the worst movies i have ever seen in my life and i feel like that's what the producer was trying to do - make the worst movie ever to get a rise out of people? what's the purpose of that? why be known as the guy who can't make movies? a movie can be so bad it's funny, this one fails to be so bad that it's funny. it's simply bad, boring, stupid, awful acting, awful EVERYTHING...i have wasted 15 loooong minutes on this piece of garbage trying hard to stay interested and even fast-forwarded it to see if it would get better... but NO it kept getting worse!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE...
... View MoreWell, where to start. This was the cinematic equivalent of the NTSB investigating a head on train crash - tragic ugliness everywhere you look.Campy acting, insipid dialog, sophomoric humor (of the painfully unfunny variety) and with as many scantily clad B-movie kittens inhabiting the scenery, you'd think you'd at least get some obligatory nudity, but no.If this film were used as an interrogation tool (which would probably be the best use for it) it would be ruled in violation of the Geneva Convention. So I'm giving it one star because there is no option available for zero.So I guess to sum it up, if you have a choice between watching this or re-arranging your sock drawer, take the opportunity to get some home organizing done. I wish I had.
... View MoreI've been waiting for this film for a year now, because the trailer looked cool. But Killer Pad is one of the worst Hollywood-movies in years. Yeah, it did have some funny moments and few good actors (Lin Shaye and Bobby Lee). But the movie in whole is just horrible.First of all, the dialogue didn't make any sense. Neither did the way, the characters behaved. Of course, it was supposed to be funny, that all the characters think was the party and sex. It just never hits the score.Then the acting was awful. Especially Shane McRae and Eric Jungmann. But like I told you before, Shaye and Lee were in it, so there was something good. The directing was okay, in the matter of fact, it was too good for this film.Well, that's it. I have nothing else to say about this film. It is one of those movies, that you want to fade out of your memory right after you saw it.
