The Funhouse Massacre

My opinion of Andy Palmer’s THE FUNHOUSE MASSACRE (2015, Tubi, Peacock, Plex) changed so much while watching it I almost got dizzy, or maybe that was just lack of sleep. It’s a jokey slasher film in which the world’s worst serial killers (“God is afraid of them,” says one character) escape a secret Ohio asylum to take over a Halloween fun house with rooms dedicated to their crimes. There are some good visuals at first, particularly stylized flashbacks to depict each killer’s m.o., but the dialog is clunky. After a while, however, it builds up a certain comic rhythm as the usual group of misfits (sexy couple, virginal couple, two stoners who manage to be funnier than they are obnoxious and the wild-card, a Mexican American cook) head to the park to get bumped off. The script also introduces the idea that those in attendance think the real murders are staged and cry for more. But that idea goes nowhere, and the film ends repulsively and, in one post-credits sequence, nonsensically. Robert Englund is wasted as the head of the asylum, as are Clint Howard as one of the killers and Jere Burns as their ringleader. As the male half of the virginal couple, Matt Angel has great comic timing and looks incredibly cute costumed for the holiday as Sylvester McCoy’s Doctor. Renee Dorian, as half of the sexy couple, and Ben Begley, as a bumbling sheriff’s deputy, mug as if they had a right to chew the scenery. Since they co-wrote the screenplay, they may have felt they did, though I’d think they’d need to write a better script to justify that fully.

'The Wrath of Becky' Fearlessly Outdoes the Original

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. I vaguely remember watching 2020’s “Becky” when it was released through various digital platforms.  Besides the brutal violence and seeing Kevin James as a Neo-Nazi, the film didn’t really leave a lasting impression on me as a viewer. When I heard they were going to make a sequel, “The Wrath of Becky,” I was…

THE WRATH OF BECKY - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: QUIVER Distribution

SYNOPSIS: Two years after she escaped a violent attack on her family, Becky attempts to rebuild her life in the care of an older woman - a kindred spirit named Elena. But when a group known as the “Noble Men” break into their home, attack them, and take her beloved dog, Diego, Becky must return to her old ways to protect herself and her loved ones.

REVIEW: Lulu Wilson is back, reprising her role of Becky from the 2020 film “Becky,” directed by Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion. At the helm this time are directors Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote as they ratchet things up placing Beck on par with Charles Bronson, Jason Statham or Keanu Reeves on an independent budget.

The screenplay takes no prisoners as it quickly brings the viewer up to speed and gets right down to the action. Just as Becky has achieved a bit of normalcy to her life she draws the attention of another fascist group trying to bring down the political system. The plot brings in a few elements from the initial film and works them. We get a few more details about one, but the mystery grows. The story gives way to action and Becky feels like what if Kevin McCallister (“Home Alone”) grew up to be John McClane (“Die-Hard”). No spoilers - the end seems a bit far fetched, but given what goes on in the rest of the film it should be hard to believe. For an independent film in this genre, it is extremely well written and I’d be curious to read the description of many of these action scenes. The story hits many beats the first film did. Some of those are character driven, others feel like the writers doing it for the fans of the first film.

The production values are solid. Given the technology has come a long way, Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion demonstrate they have the chops of any of the great action directors that came out of the late 80’s and 90’s. The film has an excellent pacing, capturing engaging performances, and effect sequences that play out like a hybrid of video game play and a slasher film gore. I’m a sucker for a good score and composer Nima Fakhrara’s work here adds so much to the tone and feel of the film.

THE WRATH OF BECKY has a great cast. In the previous film, actor Kevin James anchored the film as the main villain. This time out, veteran actor Seann William Scott, also known for his comedic work, takes on the central villain and creates a memorable character. He creates a grounded, intelligent character that gets caught up in the madness of the story. I love the way his performance has his character in denial, that he is in a different film and needs to come to grips with the unstoppable force of Becky. The film is absolutely adult in terms of some themes and the violence, but the three henchmen feel like they are modeled after the “Home Alone” series. Then there is actress Lulu Wilson. She is fantastic. She is able to present this sense of innocence and youthfulness, but then she is able to present this look and intensity where you believe she is lethal. She is such a chameleon and a delight to watch work.

2020’s “Becky” was a memorable film, a well made independent film, featuring a great cast. The film had a serious tone and had much more jeopardy and peril to the tale. THE WRATH OF BECKY plays it a bit more tongue and cheek and amps up the violence and gore. The film asks us to believe that Becky is now 16. Okay, she’s been through a lot in the previous film so I’ll give the filmmakers that, but there are scenes in the film where she does look older, at least 18, which she is. Regardless, I loved the ride. The film ends taking the story in a new direction and there could easily be another film in the series. I loved Lulu Wilson’s work here and would be interested in taking in her continuing deadly exploits.
