Summary: What was it?
Review: I recently got this dvd and I dont know why. I think I saw the preview and always wanted to get it, and plus it was free. The guys from Super Troopers were in it too, but this movie had no real comedy at all. It was just like a cheap horror movie with a typical plot-horny guys and girls, drugs, stupid jokes, a lame killer, lots of deaths, if you know horror movies the plot is old and tiresome. Very unorignal, should be called a horror movie. This is far from a comedy movie, like everyone says. Maybe its a comedy because its so bad? Oh, and the unrated version? I cannot begin to imagine what is in that, this movie had so many cuss words and nudity but the deaths weren't detailed well, so they probably show that more I guess.

Summary: Dreadful
Review: I saw "Super Troopers" and I loved it. So I was real disappointed in this effort. I was hoping that it would be another laugh riot, but it was not to be. It is about a resort island who falls pray to a serial killer. Think "Friday the 13th" by way of "Naked Gun". I was hoping for more slap stick comedy, but the murders were too grisly too be funny. The actors I know can be funny, so I was seriosly disappionted. There are a few bright spots that are truely funny, but those scenes are few and far between. I wish I could report better news, but it is what it is.

Summary: i loved supertroopers, but this sucks monkeyballs
Review: i shelled out good money to see this in the theater on opening night. i fear the broken lizard team ran thru all their good stuff in supetroopers. Club Dread is a lousy excuse for a comedy. It's only funny in a few spots, and is otherwise pretty boring. This movie may only be funny to broken lizard.

Summary: Great Parody/Satire of 70's slasher flicks
Review: I think Broken Lizard are a lot more sophisticated than people are willing to admit. Being a big fan of all those slasher flicks from the 70's, I went into Club Dread expecting Scream w/drug jokes. However, the satire was so spot on that people had trouble telling the difference between the outlandish violence, plot twists, camera moves, and slasher-flick gimmics and actual "serious" movie-making. Broken Lizard has obviously spent a lot of time examining all those great campy movies, and provided a parody that shows a lot of respect towards its target.We get the "rule of three" with all the "make-you-jump" scenes, creepy, lungy camera moves with a shriek of violins when a character about to be murdered looks quickly behind their back, the seemingly nonsensical [love] scene that opens the movie, lots of needless nudity... and I won't even begin on how awesomely spot-on the "final showdown" is (you've got to see it for yourself). I was laughing the whole way through this movie-- Broken Lizard is one of the few groups out there that can do really intelligent satire, and isn't afraid to have a bit of fun. This movie is leagues better than Super Troopers. It requires that you have some knowledge of campy slasher flicks to get a lot of the humor, but it should be fairly obvious anyway if you pay attention. Don't listen to the critics or the naysayers on this site. This is a really, really well-crafted movie and it deserves more recognition. Really good satire and parody is lacking in comedic cinema these days.I can't wait to see what Broken Lizard does next. I hope they continue to refine their satirical skills and keep making movies like Club Dread (but in other genres, of course)

Summary: Amazing Movie
Review: I thought Club Dread was an excellent addition to the Broken Lizard Family. It shows how their humor is both complicated and simple. However, I cannot force that opinion on you, because you have to see it for yourself. Also, for the people who say they "expected more from the makers of Super Troopers," its just because they wanted to see the same characters acting in the same fashion. Club Dread is an attempt to do something different.

Summary: Broken Lizard are hilarious
Review: I wasn't expecting this to be as good as supertroopers, but it nearly was. this was a movie poking fun at movies like scream, etc., but did such a better job than the scary movie series. this is because broken lizard are so naturally funny, and they take on their characters really well. Jay and Steve were hilarious.

Summary: Uhh... hmm... Super Troopers was MUCH better
Review: I'll try to make a shorter review...
"Super Troopers" was a damn fine hilarious movie. Highly underrated, I might add. Now our comedy team "Broken Lizard" churns up this "horror-comedy" called "Club Dread."
I guess you can call it a satire of slasher flicks, but we already have "Scream." I wanted to laugh in "Club Dread," I really did... but not one chuckle came up. It keeps the horror (badly, I might add), but doesn't live up to comedy.
Hmm... don't know what else to write. "Clud Dread" just isn't very good. You're better off with "Super Troopers."

Summary: Club Dread
Review: I, being a horror and a comedy fanatic would have to say Club Dread is one of the biggest let downs ever. First off, the whole spoofing on the horror movie thing was done and actually done well in Scary Movie, but Club Dread actually takes its horror seriously and tries to throw in a mix of comedy to try and liven up the old and tired slasher formula. I was expecting more from the people who did Super Troopers but after viewing the trailer I knew it would be a bomb, and to comfirm that, I saw the movie tonight and it was pathetic. Every funny scene was already used in the Theatrical Trailer, so there were no surprises- a few jumps here and there when someone would pop up. Overall, a huge disgrace to both the horror and comedy genres.

Summary: Loved "Super Troopers." Less pleased with "Dread"
Review: In "Club Dread," a hooded, blade-wielding lunatic stalks the guests on a Costa Rican isle. His name is. . . Machete Phil?
That's just one of the many half-baked buzzkills plaguing Paradise Island, a resort island run by a sleazy songster named Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton), who's still smarting over the fact that he'll always be Mr. Pibb compared to Jimmy Buffett's Coca-Cola. "I wrote 'Pina Colada-burg' seven-and-a-half years before he came out with 'Margaritaville,'" Pete gripes to his bumbling staff, who are played by members of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe - Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme and Jay Chandrasekhar, who directed the movie. Broken Lizard are the guys who made 2001's "Super Troopers," a sloppy-but-hilarious comedy that seems to appear daily on at least one or more of HBO's side channels. Not that there's anything wrong with that - "Super Troopers" may run aground every few minutes but it gets by on its deeply skewed sense of humor and the smirking 'why-the-heck-are-they-so-cocky?' confidence of the unknown comics. "Club Dread," unfortunately, isn't nearly as much fun. As the island staff stumble around getting gorily knocked-off, the movie becomes a 105 minute, hard-R-rated episode of "Scooby Doo." It also feels like a lazy, filmed excuse for the Lizard guys to don wigs, affect bad accents and write off a vacation. The movie isn't without laughs, and there are flashes of raunchy wit (I mean, what other movie has a man dressed as a giant pretzel getting down and dirty with a woman who's dressed as a giant slice of watermelon?) but mostly it feels like a comedy made by some really funny guys who need to work a little harder next time.
