This is no different really from the thousands of cannibal, slasher, straight-to-video movies made in the 1980s (this isn’t a cannibal movie, it just has the feel of the cheap Italian movies like Cannibal Holocaust etc.) The difference is, Club Dread has comedy on its side. I don’t have a clue what Bill Paxton’s doing in it, but I’m glad he’s there. For some reason it reminded me of Mindhunters too: takes place on an island, series of mystery deaths, and just when you think you’ve figured out who it is towards the end, that person dies. Like Van Wilder, a movie I’d gladly leave on the TV on a drunk night in.
