DVD Reviews of Dr. Giggles

DVD Review: Please Stop with the Giggling!!!
Summary: 2 Stars

What can you say about a movie like this after viewing it, really? With a title like "Dr. Giggles" can anyone really expect anything but a real cheesy, campy horror film? Films like these are a dime a dozen, some better than others, but in general, most are nearly unwatchable. And though this film teeters on that edge, it doesn't quite get there. No, this is not a good movie. Just as 99% of the other films like this one, the plot is fairly stupid, and the comedy injected into it is horrendous. Yes, there are horrible play -on-words or stupid one-line jokes throughout this thing! This movie is about a psychopathic son of a murderous doctor that escapes from a mental institution and goes back to his hometown to get revenge and continue his father's devilish work. However, the acting is not as horrible as one might expect in these films. To be honest, I'm a fan of Larry Drake, mostly because of his role as the bad guy Durant in the first two Darkman films. This was one of the main reason I purchased this film without watching it first. (That reason, and that it was real cheap too!) And though I think he did an ok job in this one, I can't help but hate that stupid damn giggle he does all through the movie!!! The other lead role played by Hollie Mary Combs, better known for her role in Charmed, did a alright acting job as well, but all in all, there's nothing special going on here. But like I said, I wasn't expecting anything real good out this one, except maybe some decent gore. But even the gore level wasn't nearly as high as I would have liked to seen. But there were a few camera tricks that I did notice that were kinda creative. But ultimately, you get 2 different views of opinion from a film like this. First there are those horror fans that go for this sorta thing and like a lot of campy comedy in their horror movies. The more stupid, the better, it seems like to me! And then you have the hardcore horror fan who wants straight-edged terror, blood, and violence done in a at least, semi-serious way. And its that category that I fall into. Hey,I try to have an open mind about most of these campy films I watch, I really do. That's why I bothered to watch (and even buy) this DVD. And there are certain films of this nature I do like (Evil Dead and House come right to mind). And I suppose that this movie is worth watching at least once. But overall, I'm left with the feeling of why? Why make movies like this? I guess the answer is that some people do like this kind of horror, but as for me..I'll pass. What's troubling me is that more films like this one keep making their way into my DVD collection for one reason or another, and being the collector that I am, I don't have the heart to get rid of them! With that said, depending on what type of horror fanatic you are, you'll either laugh with enjoyment at this one and consider a good horror comedy, or you'll simply dismiss this as stupidity. And I tend to lean toward the latter of the two.
