Repo Jack
Horror anthology: Check. Loving homage to horror classics: Check. B-movie horror-comedy: Check. Buckets of gore: Check. -----MILD SPOILER------- Extra Credit--Joe Bob Briggs cameo: Check. Extra Extra Credit--You loved "Toxic Avenger:" Check. If you pass that check-list and are intrigued, you may enjoy "Scare Package." Unfortunately, that formula, even with an iconic horror classic trope/theme to focus on each segment, gets tedious over seven segments. There is a lot to love, and if you've imbibed a bit, then your enjoyment will likely be greater. And that Joe Bob Briggs Cameo! (I was given the original Joe Bob's Drive In book as a gift back in 1985). The guy rocks and was my favorite part of the movie. My quibbles: * Having the first short before the wrap-around story intro was innovative but confusing. * The over-the-top gore get's repetitive. * It's too long. Drive-in Academy Award for the special effects team who must have been very very busy!
