  Immensely Amusing
  
  I love this movie, and with the right expectations and temperament, you might too. Its a comedic horror, with acting purposely over the top, but, IMHO, not so much that its annoying. It strikes, to me, the right balance on all fronts without being annoying, but still being highly entertaining. FYI - I tend to absolutely hate slapstick humor, and I think this achieves the goals of a good comedy, and should appeal to men in their 20-30s. There's a good bit of oddly adult-ish/domestic humor to enjoy.

  Not what I thought it might be, but...
  
  I saw Emily Foxler in something else, was smitten, and had to buy this movie as a result. And I was pleasantly surprised. The movie is pretty hilarious. If you're in the mood for a horror-spoof, this is a good bet.

  Dude looks like a lady!
  
  This was a hillarious horror comedy. This movie put me in stitches very funny and a funny cameo by Bobby lee.

  Dude, that was one killer party!
  
  Killer Pad may be built on clichés and teen-humor stereotypes and conventions, but it's still a very funny movie. Some of the credit naturally goes to director Robert Englund, but it's really the cast who carry this movie on their backs without ever letting it fall or flounder. The trio of losers at the center of the story could easily have become tediously annoying or unbearably stupid, but that just doesn't happen. Heck, I actually liked these guys. Yes, this is definitely a dumb comedy with horror overtones, and, yes, it will primarily appeal to adolescent males, but that doesn't mean that the rest of us can't enjoy it, too. Shoot fire, you've got comical situations, a scattering of great one-liners, a bevy of attractive young ladies, and even successful cameos by the likes of Joey Lawrence, Andy Milonakis, and Mad TV's Bobby Lee.
  
  Best buds Brody (Shane McRae), Craig (Eric Jungmann), and Doug (Daniel Franzese), having finally moved out of their parents' houses, leave Illinois behind and head to L.A. to begin their lives anew. After some initial housing problems, local real estate agent Winnie (Bobby Lee) hooks them up with a sweetheart of a deal - a low-cost mansion located at 666 Perdition Road. The place is a portal to hell, but the guys think the fiery pit in the basement is a sewage problem and blame homeless "squatters" (like the Mexican dude who keeps trying to warn them that the devil lives there) for whatever problems creep up. With bodaciously fine neighbors like Lucy (Emily Foxler) and her friends Delilah (Noureen DeWulf) and Jezebel (Corri English), these guys aren't going anywhere. In fact, they start planning a killer party for their killer pad, hoping to score major points (or really just to score, period) with the girls.
  
  It is a truly happening party. Lucy managed to get Demon Semen to perform (the girls just love Demon Semen, don't you know), and the partygoers include a bevy of beauties (including a couple of porn stars and a gang of Catholic school girls) and even Joey Lawrence (as himself). Unfortunately, as the party really begins to heat up, a series of unfortunate, freak party "accidents" leave several people quite dead - but the guys aren't going to let a little thing like that ruin such a killer party, especially since they haven't scored with their hot chicks yet. Will the guys ever realize what is really going on inside their house?
  
  Quite frankly, I don't understand this film's R rating. There is no nudity to speak of (apart from a couple of male back sides), the language is far from extreme, most of the toilet humor is limited to one scene, and none of the deaths are really gory. I don't like the DVD box cover, either, as it makes the film look cartoonish. It's dumb, but it's not cartoonish.
  
  Obviously, some viewers consider Killer Pad to be unwatchable rubbish, but I loved it. Maybe some, seeing that the film was directed by Robert Englund, expected this to be a horror film, and others just didn't appreciate the type of humor on display here. Any dumb comedy like this is always going to have its share of critics, but I hope the bad reviews aren't going to turn people away. Give this film a chance, and you just might find it as funny and entertaining as I did.

  Well.... Um, at least it's NOT Crack!
  
  PROS:
  
  -The sole dvd "Bonus Feature" shows what I believe is the cutting edge of HD Film-making (Yes REALLY!), but I'm certainly NOT an expert. HD Camera + Hard Drive + Magic Black Box Thingy = Instant "Dailies" with on-the-fly color correction, or something like that. Apparently, they were the first to do it.
  
  Anyway, this "Behind the Scenes" featurette lasts for what seemed about 10 minutes. The folks who made this film are obviously "technically" gifted. Unfortunately for me, SMART CREW + STUPID IDEA = NOT-HAPPY-RENTER-PERSON!
  
  CONS:
  
  -The maturity level of the director and male crew members appears to be stunted at, I'm guessing, MAYBE 11, but not in a funny "aren't we a bunch-of-complete-idiots" sorta way. It's more of a "my, aren't we a frightened-bunch-of-homophobes with a strange on-going fascination with JOEY LAWRENCE, Hot Tubs, ETERNAL DAMNATION, and PRE-OP Transexuals" kinda thing.
  
  -It's been a while since I rented this, but I seem to remember that the female characters were all written as complete wh*res and b*tches, unless of course they're "unattractive" in which case they're just HAGS!!! Again, I think it helps us see what these guys are attracted to and repelled by.
  
  -And finally, the biggest "CON" that comes to mind is the amount of time that you'll lose by watching this film that you will NEVER EVER EVER GET BACK! Save yourself some time & money and just punch yourself in the "SHAMA-LAMA-DING-DONGS". And you'll feel SO MUCH BETTER afterwords.... or you'll pass out, which is good too.
