Preview: Stan Helsing (2009)

Synopsis:

A reluctant video store clerk must save his town from six of the greatest horror slashers in movie history.

• Poster: C-

Review:

It's just like every other genre spoof film's poster ever created. It breaks absolutely no ground, but it does at least set the right expectation with its audience.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Still trying to piece together which six killers he's trying to stop other than Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger as the trailer seems to gloss over the others, which look like Pinhead, Chucky and Leatherface. The concept might very well be funny as I dig horror spoofs, but as Scary Movie has already poked fun at the genre (five times), I can't see what new or vital could be accomplished here other than going farther into the horror closet for ideas since the Scary Movies all dealt with current flix mostly.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
