Come for the ghosts, stay for the shirtless Craig T Nelson! We hope you enjoy our 11th victim. Again we want to thank all the contributors out there and everyone else who helps us in those tiny little ways that makes our lives (and afterlives) so much easier.
Hor-Riff-Ic - "Poltergeist" - OK, I'm sold. I have to admit I've been putting off watching these guy as I was never really into the slasher/horror type flix and their samples weren't enough to push me over the edge. I know they have an awesome reputation with the folks on the forum though so thought I would buy a couple to try. I watched their "IT" part 2 the week prior and it was fantastic so I bought this one having already got a copy of the movie for the Cole/Janet release (still haven't watched that one yet). I'm kicking myself now for not buying their stuff sooner as this was friggin hilarious. Many lol moments, great writing and just a real nice laid back banter and delivery. Looks like I'll be on a bit of a spending spree coming up to catch up. Johnny come lately says HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
What can I say? There was a lot to like on this one. Sound quality was good with a nice volume level, the jokes hit fast, furious, and stayed at a good clip all the way through, and overall it was just fun to listen to. All the scenes with Zelda Rubenstein were great, though considering I did contribute a few, I won't mention them here and turn this into an ad or anything. They're all good zingers, including running gags I honestly didn't see coming. Worth watching multiple times.
I've never listened to a riff of a good movie before. It seemed, I dunno, disrespectful? However, this was really well done and I liked it a lot. It managed to make a creepy movie still creepy but FUNNY as well.
It will also make you realize just how bad parents (and fashion choices) were in the 80's.
Really solid riffage as usual from Hor-RIFF-ic.
Great JPM (jokes per minute) + an 80's classic = good times
As always Hor-RIFF-ic Productions does a great job of making 80s horror a laugh riot.
The riffs fly fast and hit home on this release.
Check out the sample and get your laugh on!
till now..
Good lord are these people idiots! First there is the freaky chair stacking. If that happened, any normal person would be out of there in an instant. You wouldn't play with that by letting it pull you along the ground. You'd get out. Then next a tree nearly EATS your son and ghosts snatch your little daughter into another dimension. But they still stay there. FINALLY they at least send the traumatized son to granny's for a few days ALONE. Finally after dealing with a creepy old lady you get your daughter back. You pack up and then proceed to take a shower and let the kids sleep in the haunted room? Worst parents ever! It takes coffins and bodies rising out of the ground for you to finally leave.
Also any parent who thinks their kid would like that creepy clown thing is definitely high. I'm 30 and STILL think that thing is creepy beyond words.
Bad movie, great riffs. They never disappoint... even when written by others.
excellent as always!
Another great effort by the Hor-RIFF-ic team. Highly entertaining riff with a steady stream of good jokes. No dead spots whatsoever; the riffing is well-paced on this one. Same great chemistry from Erin and Gary. There are tons of funny jokes based on the running gag about the Mom and Dad’s complete lack of parenting skills. The more writers involved on this one makes for a greater variety of riffs. Nice audio quality, too.
I haven’t seen this movie in ages. I remember I was scared seeing it as a little kid. But as an adult, this movie ranks pretty high on the goofy scale. This is a movie I probably wouldn’t even be interested in watching now if it wasn’t accompanied by a riff. This riff takes a slow, slightly-boring and silly movie and makes it an fun experience.
Favorite laugh-out-loud moments:
The Carol-Ann/hitchhiker riff.
The Colgate riff.
The 'time for a bath' riff.
The optical illusion riff.
The 'living on a boat' riff.
The 'spiritual fire code' riff.
The 'ghost scissors' riff.
For what it's worth, I definitely recommend this iRiff. You will laugh AND be treated to a Xanax-dazed Craig T. Nelson!
We get to know the parents by first watching them get high. No wonder it occurred to them that their missing daughter was being held prisoner by ghosts. Never mind calling the cops. That wouldn't help. This contrived plot wouldn't pass muster today. It definitely gets what it deserves. And the long scenes of whispered conversation drive me up a wall.
