Fool's Errand
No one falls out of the tree; we climb up because we want to and, through the folly of our wisdom, walk out onto shaky branches. We fall because it’s a fool’s errand.
~ Erik Raymond
Shaky Shivers (2023) Am I back on a review kick (only on stuff I liked) I've been curious of this one after missing it on last year's festival circuit. The best way to sum it up is it's very cute and has epic yet random monsters. It's a store of two dorky but endearing friends that work in a humbling job. As an 80s sitcom addict I couldn't help but think of them as Tootie and Natalie from Facts of Life as if they accidentally got trapped in a Tales from the Crypt comic. The characters and monsters are all great. I love the misfit friendship and just how slapstick and random the encounters they have with more and more monsters or evil in general. The randomness is supposed to be part of the charm and I agree it is BUT it also suffers with some of the pay off. The matter of fact of everything does add to the friends personas but also suffers in the pacing in my opinion. They deal with Werewolves, Zombies, Witches and cults as well as Bigfoot. I kind of hoped each creature did something much more shocking and upsetting to juxtapoz the cuteness of the unlikely hero duo. Instead each monster and mishap just leads to the next with not enough growing tension or consequence. Sure you don't want this movie to be too dark cause that's part of the irony but I feel there's gotta be a middle ground. It was very refreshing for these characters to be hip yet damaged but still likeable, which is rare these days. All this and again the monsters looked great. Each creature was very creative which is probably why I wanted more. I could imagine these two friends dealing with this each week in a tv show. So even though I had an issue with the pacing I liked this a lot , enough to wish I had more. Imagine Tootie and Natalie crossed with Tucker and Dale and Jack Brooks Monster Slayer.
Chris: Shaky Shivers is a horror / comedy involving friends at an abandoned camp with monsters and magic, amusing and kept my attention, Watch: On Subscription Service.
Richie: Just about every aspect of the film was amusing, it was a fun horror / comedy perfect for the Halloween season, Watch: On Subscription Service.
