Finally a movie that balances horror and comedy almost perfectly. Yes it's cheesy but it's supposed to be. To be perfectly honest I had VERY low expectations for this movie. Plot: A group of tourists go on a haunted swamp tour during Mardi Gras and are stalked by a deformed swamp red neck. The movie stars Joel Moore(Norm Spellman for any of my fellow "James Cameron's Avatar" fans) and has some great cameos from some great horror icons such as Robert Englund from the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series, Tony Todd from "Candyman" and a few of the "Final Destination" movies, and Kane Hodder who played Jason Vorhees in the "Friday The 13th" movies. The movie pokes fun at other horror movies as with characters like the stereotypical extremely dumb blonde, the stereotypical black dude(Deon Richmond plays the same type of character in this as he did in "Not Another Teen Movie"), the stereotypical Asian dude, and the happy old tourist couple. All of the characters are pretty funny despite poor acting jobs. But be warned, there is a lot of extremely gory scenes and deaths, so if you can't handle gore then don't watch this, heck even I almost gagged a few times. All in all despite being cheesy this movie offers some great jump scenes and some pretty funny jokes.
