Maybe it's because of the needles, maybe it's because of the masks and gloves they wear, maybe it's because I grew up in a family of doctors, but I find that doctors can be quite scary. I guess that was what triggered my interest in this film to start with. Never before have I ever seen or heard of a horror-comedy film whose main villain is an insane doctor who wants to preform open heart surgery on a girl so that he can finish where his father had started. It's unusual for two reasons, for one it is hard to make that subject both scary and funny at the same time, and two,it's humor comes mainly from his insanity (usually horror-comedies get their humor from the theme of family values.)
It is not what you expect it to be at all, looking at the cover, it looks like your average crappy B-movie, but it is actually filled with clever dialogue, decent acting (with a few exceptions), and a very well done job on the presentation of the film (with it's direction, photography, and editing.)
The only problem I had was the ending. Although the dialogue was still very clever and witty, the return of Dr. Rendell Jr. after being burned to a crisp was long, predictable, and disappointing. That was my biggest issue with the film, but really if you do not like horror film with a dark (and sometimes perverse)sense of humor, I strongly advise for you to watch a film where you don't need to hide under your pillow every 10-15 minutes.
