"Slightly Amusing" Man..........2007-09-03
After a solid opening scene, followed by a promising set-up, "Funny Man" loses all it's steam with a series of unimaginative murders, surreal settings, and only moderately amusing jokes from the titular character at the expense of his victims. This British answer to Freddy Kruger lacks any suspense, irony, or wit as it seems to be an excuse for whacking a buch of mostly undesireable characters. The ending is somewhat flat, and at this point I felt no vested interest in neither victim nor killer. Not even my appreciation of English humour could really keep my interest. As a huge fan of the macabre, this one really dissapointed me.
funny man is not so funny after all!!!.......2006-06-30
Funny man is an ok way to kill 2 hours. my eyes were not at all glued to the screen. the dvd is packed with extras wich are great if you are a fan of the movie.
By all means i say give this A RENT and if you like buy it.
Ridiculously Twisted Fun !.......2006-06-24
Simon Sprackling's "FUNNY MAN" is a horror/comedy like no other! If you took the movie "Leprechaun" mashed it together with the comedy style of "The Kids In The Hall" add a few buckets of chunky red stuff & then took some lysergic acid diethylamide the outcome would be something like this demented nightmare. This underrated freakshow defines the words cult classic & is a must have for anyone who enjoys the hell out of goofy horror films.
No rest for the bloody wicked, eh?.......2006-05-31
I really had fun watching this film. It is a horror-comedy of a higher standard. The movie varies from hilarious to grotesque. The comedy in this movie is derived from the killer being way over the top. Most you see coming, but some catches you off guard. The plot is very rarely on track, and this movie is VERY confusing. However, it gets 4 stars, because the death scenes in this are BRILLIANT on the budget the movie had.
Cheeky comedy, mixed with horrific violence.
Overall, a good buy.
An Amusing, Slightly Disturbing B Flick That's Sadly Overlooked.......2006-05-29
Basic Plot: A mysterious English man (Christopher Lee) loses his mansion-home in a poker game, passing on not only ownership to the young, naive winner (Benny Young), but something much worse along with it -- a homicidal demon-jester known as the Funny Man (Tim James) who infests the house!
The Funny Man turned out to be pretty much what I expected: A strange, low-budget British horror flick with lots of dark, silly comedy. I can't say it was a masterpiece, or even slightly thought-provoking, but it's definitely a fun way to pass an hour and a half. The humor is pretty over-the-top (which I happen to like), and the story is decently interesting and original. But for the most part, the only reason you should see this is for the scenes with Tim James as the whacky evil jester. It's his witty one-liners and eccentric antics that keep the pace flowing. And that's really all it is -- some guy in a surprisingly impressive suit killing off characters in comedic ways. If you're a fan of B movies, this is certainly not as low as you can go in quality. As a matter of fact, it's above most others of its kind. So go on. Have a nice, sinister laugh with the Funny Man!
