Director Andy Palmer churns out yet another horror/comedy with The Funhouse Massacre.
Six homicidal mental patients escape from the local asylum on Halloween night and hide within a horror funhouse that's inspired by all their bloody handiwork.
Unlike most horror-comedies, Funhouse gets all the humorous moments timed right, so that the horrific moments aren't watered down and vice versa. Thankfully it is funny and packs in some great kill scenes making for a steadily-paced great time that never outstays it's welcome. The plotting is a bit of a misdirected mess and the characters are all pretty flat but with a title like The Funhouse Massacre one isn't expecting anything of superb quality.

SKYLINE [2010]
Score composer Brian Tyler curiously serves as executive producer on the SyFy-esque alien invasion film, Skyline.
With a cast made-up a b-list television actors it feels more like a sci-fi TV movie of the week even more so. The special effects are done on a very low budget but somehow makes it all the more fun. As bland as the characters are and predictable as the story is (or you're led to believe), you can really feel the passion for film-making put into the shitfest. It's unmemorable fun and no more.
