Scared Shitless

 Scared Shitless is a most unfortunate case, cute title, cute premise, lame movie. This low budget canadian monster movie throwback is clearly made with a lot of affection for 50s sci-fi and the golden age of Troma but it shows the extent of that affection in the first 10 or so minutes and then proceeds to spin its wheels for a little over an hour. The film follows a plumber and his germaphobic son as they have to deal with a plumbing emergency of otherworldly proportions, you see a sort of mad scientist created a squid like monster in this apartment building and it likes to feast on the tenants including there uhh downstairs equipment and it’s up to this pair and the young building manager to save the day. This is the kind of film that as a 10 minute funny or die skit or fake trailer would be genius but even at a scant 74 minutes there just isn’t a feature film here, if you want a recent exploitation homage that actually sustains its madness rent The Toxic Avenger Unrated  and flush this.

 I Give It 2 Stars!!!
