Audience Reviews

Repo Jack 6/10 Nov 15, 2020
Horror anthology: Check.

Loving homage to horror classics: Check.

B-movie horror-comedy: Check.

Buckets of gore: Check.

-----MILD SPOILER-------

Extra Credit--Joe Bob Briggs cameo: Check.

Extra Extra Credit--You loved "Toxic Avenger:" Check.

If you pass that check-list and are intrigued, you may enjoy "Scare Package." Unfortunately, that formula, even with an iconic horror classic trope/theme to focus on each segment, gets tedious over seven segments.

There is a lot to love, and if you've imbibed a bit, then your enjoyment will likely be greater.

And that Joe Bob Briggs Cameo! (I was given the original Joe Bob's Drive In book as a gift back in 1985). The guy rocks and was my favorite part of the movie.

My quibbles:
* Having the first short before the wrap-around story intro was innovative but confusing.
* The over-the-top gore get's repetitive.
* It's too long.

Drive-in Academy Award for the special effects team who must have been very very busy!
