It's the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! With titles like Wadzilla, I Was a Teenage Werebear, The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, and Zom-B-Movie, Chillerama not only celebrates the golden age of drive-in B horror shlock but also spans over four decades of cinema with something for every bad taste.

Dreadfully Boring

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is the best bad film I've seen in recent times, it took ridiculous insanity to an all new neon coloured bat s**t crazy level - pooping a rainbow while wearing a unicorn helmet. While there is lots of good there's also lots of bad but all in all I really enjoyed it because the bad was supposed to be bad. Warning - if you don't enjoy bad films, old B-movies or even Troma films you probably won't enjoy this.The movie you are watching is about a drive in cinema, and as such you are presented with four mini movies, by the end of the movie you realise that you are watching a movie about a movie about a drive in cinema showing movies. Don't worry, it isn't hard to follow what's going on, just concentrate on the main wrap around movie for continuity. Main movie: A member of staff from a drive-in cinema had necrophilia urges pre-show, he gets bitten by his ex and takes the infection to work. He works at Kaufman's drive-in cinema which has arrived at choosing time and who's owner Cecil Kaufman is planning to show 4 of the rarest films he's managed to get his hands on over the years of operating the drive-in. Needless to say the virus spreads but you won't believe how, just be ready for a neon zombie orgy in a drive-in cinema by the end of the film.Movie 1: " Wadzilla" A man takes experimental sperm enhancing drugs which leave him with the need to masturbate to relieve pain whenever his balls throb and ache. An unwanted side effect is monstrous mutated sperm he produces (and unleashes) which grows to a humongous size and wreaks havoc, death and destruction across America. This movie is filmed using tricks of the trade in the early 1950's and looks visually stunning as it unfolds.Movie 2: "I was a teenage were-bear" A high school musical story of unexplored homo-erotic feelings and killer were-bears. When "Rebel without a cause" meets "Grease" meets "Twilight" all hell breaks loose and lots of film genres get smashed together for your pleasure. Washed down with happy feel good times this story of depravity is an odd-ball special.Movie 3: "Diary of Anne Frankenstein" A Nazi/Frankenstein spoof were Hitler finds Doctor Frankenstein's diary and makes his own Jew- Frankenstein monster. If you can speak German you'll notice that everyone is speaking German other than Hitler who is speaking "South Park" German, for those who can't speak German the subtitles are accurate and precise enough to get the intended humour.Movie 4: "Deathification" Experimental risky film about faecal fantasies.This film as a whole is not meant to be serious, while the acting is sometimes unconvincing and effects are really really low budget/DIY it is a fun film. It's a colourful film, creative and imaginative, and there are constant tongue in cheek references throughout, a proper nerd horror film with a nod to nostalgia and sexual repression. There is plenty of blood and gore for the modern audience and enough retro kitch for fans of Tromp\B-movie drive in styles. The writer and director have clearly demonstrated their knowledge and love of film, not just horror but film as a whole, as a fellow film fan/nerd I really enjoyed this. This is more slapstick "Grindhouse" and a higher octane "Creepshow", it's a low budget horror comedy spoof classic, its got random gratuitous nudity, violence, sex, blood, guts, laughs, chills, thrills, spills and looks like it was conceived on pills.

I don't think this has a spoiler but why risk it? If you see Avatar as the pinnacle of cinema, this film is not for you. As someone who enjoys the campiness of 40's and 50's horror films, the sing song joy of a 60's California beach bash, the sheer stupid joy of the "warnings" theaters had to produce for films that were "edgy" for the 70's, the 'terror" of an 80's slasher and the fact most of these films were about one thing: hooking up with your girl during the flick: This is a nice homage.If you are a true oenophile; someone who can quote current pop culture and famously repeated quotes all while smiling when something that celebrates John Waters in a scene that honors George Romero is shown, you'll enjoy this picture. It's dopey, way over the top, offensive and weird. But man, what a stupid, goofy ball of fun.

As my rating would suggest, I am very nearly in love with this movie. Horror-comedies can be quite fickle...very often having too many elements of one and not nearly enough of the other. Sure, you have movies like Shaun Of The Dead that get it just right, but for every one of "Shaun" there's about 15 that just don't get it. And now we have Chillerama.From start to finish you get the impression that someone was trying to get the aforementioned mixture just right. It interweaves 3 different movies (essentially hilarious mockeries of the old grindhouse/midnight drive-in genre) with a story of what takes place in between at the drive-in where they're being shown (think of it as the play within a play from Hamlet). Mocking these types of films is certainly nothing new, but few have gone so over the top while still somehow staying true to the source material. I have to say my favorite segment has to be "The Diary Of Anne Frankenstein" if for no other reason that Joel David Moore's portrayal of Hitler. Watching him make up gibberish that was subtitled as legitimate German had me laughing my ass off.Gripes? Only minor ones. The movie runs a bit long for this genre. Two solid hours is typically a bit more than you'd expect, but then again it doesn't feel stretched or wasted. I also kind of wished they had put a little more effort into the story of what happens at the drive-in. All in all I would (and already have) recommend it to just about anyone who enjoys a good, albeit sometimes crude, laugh.

This movie was was fun experience and a perfect tribute to the Golden Age of bad cheesy Drive-In movies. It could almost pass as a sequel to either Grindhouse or Creepshow. The movie is told in 4 different segments. When the local drive-in theater is being closed down, the owner shows 4 classic horror movies for its final night.Wadzilla- This was my favorite of the bunch. The plot is so over-the-top and goofy and spoofs the monster genre from the 60's. When a man tries to get his sperm count raised, he takes a drug and creates a sperm monster that attacks New York. I Was A Teenage Werebear- My least favorite of the bunch. It's a musical spoof. A teenager in the 'closet' named Ricky has a desire for men. He is bitten by a Werebear and becomes one of them. The next time I watch this movie, I'm skipping it.The Diary of Anne Frankenstein- My 2nd favorite of the bunch. It spoofs Hitler and the Frankenstein story. The movie is in black and white and spoken in a gibberish language that substitutes for German. Kristina Klebe was hot and beautiful as Eva Braun. Joel David Moore was hilarious as Hitler. He invents a Jewish Frankenstein monster named Meshugannah that begins to attack the Nazis. Zom B Movie- This segment is shown during the intermission of the other movies. The Drive-In theater is slowly being attacked by horny zombies.If you want an awesome over the top cheesy good time, you'll love CHILLERAMA!!!
