So far my batting average for "Yucky Movies of October" isn't that hot. Another flick that's not very "yucky," Brutal Massacre is a mockumentary of the production of a low budget horror film with a slew of fan favorites. After the absurdities of films like This is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, or TV's The Office, I'm afraid this isn't just absurd enough.It is, however, a love-letter to b-horror-movie fans with actors like Davin Naughton, Gunnar Hansen, Ellen Sandweiss, and Ken Foree and a realistic sense of this being probably how most very low-budget horror films are made. People quit, there's on-set accidents, testy talent, money problems. Problem after problem compound until their little film production becomes a big mess. As a fan of these types of flicks, I could enjoyed it - but you should focus on the word "Comedy" in the title.
