Broken Lizards Club Dread MPAA Rating: R Entertainment: +1 1/2 Content: -3 1/2

This is a horrorcomedy about a party island off the coast of Costa Rica owned by a has-been rock star named Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton). Young people come here to get high on drugs, drink, have sex and party till they drop. Its all one big, extended party until some of the staff starts turning up dead. In order to avoid quenching the party atmosphere, the murders are kept silent. A tough war veteran is brought in to help solve the mystery, but he is killed too. Fear starts to spread across the island, and everyone starts pointing fingers and accusing each other of being the murderer. When phone lines are cut and all of the boats on the island are sabotaged, panic sets in and chaos rules. Also starring Kevin Heffernan, Paul Soter, Steve Lemme, Erik Stolhanske, Brittany Daniel and Jordan Ladd.

This sex-and-slasher film has no virtues whatsoever, filled with people drinking, doing drugs and having sex with each other. There are several sex scenes and nudity of both men and women, and homosexuality is used as a turn on. The humor is basically bathroom and trashy sex jokes. Although its a comedy, it has a lot of gruesome, mildly gory violence: people killed with a machete, a man beheaded, a man cut in half with rope wrapped around him, a woman electrocuted, and on and on. All of this is done for the purpose of humor. Dead bodies are hung up and drip blood on unsuspecting partiers who discover the bodies when they find blood in their drinks. If the above were not enough for you to dread going to this one, the dialog throughout is filled with the worst kind of graphic language and sexual innuendo. Therefore, due to sex, drugs, language, violence and overall bad content, this film is awarded an extremely low acceptability rating by Preview. Stay away from it.
