UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

GL84 Arriving in Los Angeles, a group of losers hold a special housewarming bash to celebrate their independence, but a series of misfortunes before and during the event eventually makes them realize that the Devil is using the location to harvest sinful souls to rot in Hell and they must try to stop it while keeping everyone safe.This one was quite a lame and incredibly unfunny horror/comedy. Among the numerous highly detrimental flaws here, the majority of time here is that the supposedly cheesy comedy is really lame and so not funny, not only in the execution but the concept as well. There's little about the concept of being unable to understand the Mexican that is provided with subtitles while they believe his concerns are for food, the absolutely single-minded mentality of keeping the house to themselves during the party as obviously creepy goings-on are happening that should render a higher degree of urgency in their actions or even taking those actions with much more intelligence than what's going through their reasoning here which is filled to the brim with such lame concepts that are supposedly funny. The characters here are so brain-numbingly stupid in their decision-making and backwards in their logic that there's so little to be feared from the scenario as it's furthered by their pure idiocy that they feature some nearly impossible amount of work throughout here just to make the story seem competent that these guys would be that completely stupid to let these events keep happening and not do something useful only to continually be stuck in the same situation minutes later due to their inherent stupidity. While there's little to blame here about this not being all too funny, the general stupidity of the action required to complete the storyline here is what hurts this one so badly and severely that together it's enough to knock this down even before getting several of the big flaws. Despite the length, there's several needless scenes here with the Fire Marshall and the lonely guy at the party just being totally unnecessary to make this seem longer than it really is, and there's the utterly detrimental plot thread about the story being treated as a joke here in the course of the movie which lower this even further. There's still a few positives here in this one, from the horror-worthy set-up that's pretty nicely done, there's some nice atmosphere at the part of the demons and some of the action at the end here isn't bad as the concept to overcome their Satanic powers isn't bad. Still, this one is just plain stupid and really can't overcome these problems.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Brief Nudity, heavy drug use, intense scatological humor and a clothed sex scene.

robcarlos This movie was not non-stop laughs but it definitely had some hilarious moments. The film is about three friends who move from Illinois to Los Angeles. When they discover that the apartment they had reserved doesn't allow pets they find an odd Asian real estate agent who finds them a great deal on an incredible house in the Hollywood Hills. The guys suspect something is up with the house, but decide to throw an epic housewarming party. They soon find out why the deal they got was too good to be true.The three friends have good chemistry. You really believe they've been friends for a long time. The movie also had some other very funny characters. So ignore the haters and give the film a chance. You'll laugh.

Scarecrow-88 Three kooky Midwestern pals move to Los Angeles renting what they believe is the perfect place, sitting on a hill away from civilization, not knowing that inside the basement is a portal to hell! Three Hollywood hotties, presumed neighbors who supposedly wish to greet them to their new residence, are actually Satan and his minions wanting the naive outsiders to host a party inviting citizens who unknowingly will become victims for the Lord of Darkness.I will admit that the premise wasn't as much a draw as noticing that Robert Englund was returning for only his second film feature directorial stint(..after a twenty year absence). Without even listening to Englund's theatrical audio commentary(..which was a lot of fun), you can tell that Killer Pad, from the very beginning, is aiming squarely for laughs. A lot of Hell jokes and toilet bowl humor which will probably leave many wanting pure scares and not finding them here. Lots of in-jokes regarding reality TV(..a priest, portrayed by Jeff Bryan Davis, was once an alcoholic, drug-addicted human-stunt crazy, modeled after those idiots from Jackass who purposely perform body damaging stunts to inflict harm for laughs by unorthodox means)and LA itself, featuring many eccentric citizens such as porn stars, gym babes, Joey Lawrence(..who provides some humor involving his peers such as a bad impersonation of Bruce Willis and his secretary's address miscalculation which sends him to the party instead of Tobey McGuire's house for poker), a Kinkos teenage nerd with no friends, a fire marshal desiring to work as a guard for the party to find a date, an Asian transvestite who provided them this palatial pad to begin with, and 16 year old Catholic school girls in need of some clothes and a spanking.The three leads were obviously hired for their physical comedy, their faces are colorful and Daniel Franzese, Eric Jungmann & Shane McRae really play their dupes to the hilt, providing the film with prime bona fide morons to root for with all our hearts. These guys work well off each other, embracing their characters' gullible nature. Their horny goof balls are easy prey for the major babes, Emily Foxler(..as Lucy/Satan, who looks fantastic in red), Noureen De Wulf, and Corri English who use their seductive wiles, attractive figures, and supposed willingness for sex as a weapon. The film is loaded with wacky special effects such as Latino "angel" Héctor Jiménez(who attempts unsuccessfully to ward our heroes away from the pad housing hell)who, at one point in the film, spits pea soup, is forced against his will to rip his own heart from his chest and eat it, with his head twisting and spinning repeatedly(..spoofing The Exorcist)before leaping off their balcony. Three models from Sweden are boiled in a jacuzzi. One poor soul's head explodes(..well, the silhouette of his head from behind a closed curtain does)while another's throat is slashed after his body slams into a mirror. We get to see the babes in demon form and the priest, after porking one of the naughty Catholic school girls, converting to a rocker, belting Kiss' "I Just Want to Rock'n'Roll All Night.." in an act against Satan and his/her minions who were about to pulverize the entire group assembled together in the party who hadn't been killed yet. We get a disgusting bathroom sequence featuring a very imposing masculine woman and the toilet she was using. Englund just seems willing to please and the film has a goofy spirit to it, but I thought it wore a bit thin by the time it was over. Englund, during the making-of doc on the DVD, speaks about how his film, shot on a Viper camera, doesn't, at all, use stock;the entire feature is shot all digital. Almost the entire film exists within the "killer pad" and shies away from presenting nudity even when the porn stars show their breasts to our Kinkos nerd. Oh, and there's a dwarf(..who orders the porn gals around) whose buttocks are present throughout for in his cut leather pants for extra tasteless chuckles. I sure do wish Englund would actually make a film built for scares instead of giggles, though. He understands menace and evil portraying quite a many unique and colorful monsters over his career, you'd think Englund could direct a chiller. Still, the film has moments which are quite stylish when Englund doesn't resort to zany hi-jinx and over-the-top cheese. The pad itself has a very vibrant use of red and he establishes this as the film's intricate color because of the story arc involving hell. Englund also uses symbolic imagery involving Satan(..such as a pentagram from discarded beer cans and statues featured throughout the house).

SleepKills Idle Hands meets Dude, Where's My Car. Sure Killerpad isn't as fun as Englund's directorial debut 976-EVIL, but still he did a pretty good job making a simple teenage horror comedy. Sure it's predictable, sure it's everything but subtle and of course it's just allot of nonsense thrown together. But what did you expect to see? Especially when you put Killerpad next to recent comedy's like Epic Movie, Date Movie or Little Man, it's pretty nice to see a teenage comedy that cán actually make you smile once and a while. The film has some pretty funny moments, especially when Joey Lawrence pops up and makes fun of himself. The three main characters act pretty over-the-top, but in stead of being really annoying, they are funny from time to time.To make a long story short, Killerpad is nowhere near a great movie, but it certainly has its charm. No hilarious comedy or great fun horror flick, but pretty entertaining here and there. That's it. Can't wait to see Englund's next directing job, The Viy.
