About This Movie

Club Dread is this strange mix of slasher and comedy that doesn't quite land everything it aims for, but it’s got a vibe all its own. The Coconut Pete character, played by Bill Paxton, steals the show with this laid-back charm and offbeat humor that feels refreshing amidst the chaos. The practical effects for the kills add a nice touch of old-school slasher charm, and the ambiance of a tropical resort gone wrong is kind of a fun twist. Plus, the pacing feels right for this kind of flick; just enough time to enjoy the absurdity before another body drops. It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea, but it has a certain cult charm that might just resonate with fellow collectors.

Directed by Jay Chandrasekhar of Broken Lizard fame.Features practical effects that harken back to classic slashers.Bill Paxton delivers a memorable performance as Coconut Pete.Part of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe's catalog.
