Hysterical Psycho

About This Movie

Hysterical Psycho is an interesting blend of horror and comedy, with Dan Fogler stepping behind the camera for his first time. The setup involves this youthful theater troupe getting whittled down in the woods, and the premise of lunar radiation adds a quirky twist to the typical slasher formula. The film's tone balances between campy and creepy, which can either draw you in or push you away, depending on your tastes. Practical effects provide some decent gore moments, but it’s really the absurdity of the situations and the performances that stand out. Gilbert Gottfried shows up, which definitely adds a unique flavor to the mix. It’s not your run-of-the-mill horror flick, that’s for sure.
