Willy Nutsack (Kevin Strange) and his band, Dream Reaper, are having some
serious creative issues. Nutsack insists on writing metal songs about sea
monsters while Dick Gibson, the band’s bass player, is thinking of a new
direction entirely: emo. As if this crisis wasn’t bad
enough, the real Dream Reaper shows up and demands that Willy change the
band’s name immediately. When this request is denied, the Dream Reaper
begins killing the members of the band one by one. Now Willy Nutsack must
master the power of dreams in order to fight and defeat the Dream Reaper
before he becomes the next victim.
Dream Reaper
is childish, stupid, and totally great. This indie horror flick is loaded
with filthy dialogue, ultra dirty jokes, and strictly no-budget gore
scenes (think fruit juice arterial spray and balloon intestines). Instead
of hiding the film’s flaws, director Kevin Strange and the Hack Movies crew
have gone out of their way to focus on the cheese and rub the audience’s
nose in it. The completely pathetic fight scenes (rubber sword and plastic
scythe) could not look any more awkward or be any more snicker-inducing
than they already are. Much of the dialogue is easily quotable and the
cast appears to be having a friggin’ blast making a truly silly film.
Of course, the Hack Movies gang does make one misstep in the running gag
department. The cringe-inducing and completely gratuitous masturbation
scenes are the only parts of the movie that get old rather quickly. The
fact that every character in the film gets their own self-pleasuring scene
is amusing but mainly in a theoretical kind of way. Obviously this kind of
humor won’t rub every viewer the right way (zing!) yet I found myself
cracking up against my will and shaking my head in disbelief through most
of the film’s blessedly short running time.
Dream Reaper will
cure all of your goofy independent horror comedy cravings. It will most
definitely cure all of your cravings for fugly masturbation scenes. That
is, if you actually crave those kinds of things. I'm not judging here!
