Evil Toons

Putting monsters as animated characters into a comedy slasher B-movie seemed like a cool idea to me, but what in fact happens, is that there is only one such character and it is only in the movie for a very short time. While the budget constraints stopped the movie from being the horror version of Space Jam I was hoping for, Evil Toons is at least still an entertaining piece of nonsense about a platoon of cleaning ladies (Ha, wannabes!), whose work is made challenging by a Necronomicon (shamefully stolen from The Evil Dead). The acting of the main characters are not so much crap B-movie performances, but rather P-movie performances, (yes, they are porn actresses,) and we should not really be using the word "acting" in connection with them at all. The supporting role of B-movie King Dick Miller is very amusing, especially in a long scene when he watches himself in a scene from A Bucket of Blood on the television and complains that he did not receive an Oscar for that movie. Well, I believe he got it in a parallel universe. David Carradine is practically only there to give a monologue explaining to us what has actually happened during the movie at the end, apart from that, there is absolutely no good reason for his character to be in the movie. However, looking for any justification at all in this movie is simply too much to ask of Fred Olen Ray. (04/16/2019)
