This is one of the movies that was recently given to me. It is one I never even heard of before getting it. Going by the cover I didn't have to high expectations for it... but before popping the movie in I decided to check Youtube for the trailer. The trailer gave me some hope that I would enjoy it. But I was still a little cautious. I didn't really care for the opening effects. They just seemed a cheesy to me. But then the movie itself did a lot to be desired. I have seen worse horror movies... but this one has some pretty bad acting.... a bit over the top. The only one in the cast that even did a half way decent job is Corbin Bernsen... but he was only in the first 10 minutes of the movie! Really... this is nothing more then an average horror movie. At least I wasn't expecting much... so not really disappointed.

Dr. Giggles, a review by addicted2dvd

Dr. Giggles
He makes house calls. No appointment necessary. Laughter is the best medicine when 'Dr. Giggles' gives fans of cult horror the right guffaws-and-gore prescription.

Larry Drake plays the night-prowling surgical M.D. (as in Maniacally Deranged) who takes a vengeful whack -- or saw, scalpel, stomach pump or whatever else he finds in his little black bag of medical malpractice -- at teens, cops, and other residents of a once-pleasant town. From an old haunted house to a midway fun house, from bedrooms to the O.R., the doctor is in(sane). And keeping pace with him is a start-to-finish spree of medical puns that make this romp a cut above. 'Dr. Giggles': He'll keep you in stitches.

TV Star:
Holly Marie Combs (Piper Halliwell on Charmed, Kimberly Brock on Picket Fences)
Glenn Quinn (Doyle on Angel, Mark on Roseanne)

My Thoughts:
This has always been one of my favorites. It is the first thing I ever seen Holly Marie Combs in... and I have been infatuated with her every since. Larry Drake was also good as Dr. Giggles himself. This is a movie I have watched countless times since I originally saw it... back in the days of VHS.

"Due South" marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

An Invitation to Romance

Now this episode had plenty of comedy in it... from that irritating but hilarious woman Fraser had to follow all over to Ray in that Mountie uniform.... there was plenty in this episode to laugh at.

My Rating:
