It's pretty obvious early on that this is flick is a black comedy, rather than a horror movie. A boyfriend's picture changes faces as his girlfriend gets killed and chopped up; the mortuary advertises "We give trading stamps" above the door; all the attempts at jokes that fall completely flat.
There is attempt at gore, but since this was a "family film" or something the camera cuts away instantly after something happens. It's too bad because it seems like there were some good kills; someone stabbed in the eye, a girl impaled on a metal fence, bodies chopped up for hambur-ger (whatever that is). There is one scene, when the two diner whackos are performing 'surgery' on a victim, that shows some guts, but it's obviously just pig guts and someone sifting through them, so it doesn't count all that high. Though, they tried.
The characters aren't too memorable either, really. Everyone is attempting to make their stupid jokes so much they forget that there's a movie going on. There is one line in particular I can't figure out; somebody gets nicked on the head, and another guy says, "He shaved with a..." and then somebody honks a horn. Maybe it was product placement or something, and they had to edit it out? I still can't figure that one. Most of the women in this are hapless wastes that start making out with whatever shmuck that happens to walk by. Age of Feminism, this movie's not.
I don't know; it's a jumbled, unfunny mess, but it MAY be worth it to catch it once for the weird 60's nostalgia. The premise was there, but no real payoff; but, it's only an hour or so long, so not much time is wasted.
And dammit, they made it that much worse when the ending had everyone popping out going, "Hey kids! It was all just a gag, see? Nobody got hurt, honest!" What a cop-out. Luckily this was the director's last film ever.
