Film Review – Scared Shitless

“Scared Shitless” isn’t a title that’s likely to help this picture enjoy marketplace acceptance, but it’s an apt description of the viewing experience. Screenwriter Brandon Cohen and director Vivieno Caldinelli investigate the horrors of plumbing in the feature, creating a monster movie concerning a vicious creature lurking in apartment toilets and the two tradespersons setting out to end its violent wrath. It’s a Canadian production that doesn’t take itself too seriously, supplying a comedic vibe while securing many grisly visuals, putting talented creature FX artist Steven Kostanski (director of “Psycho Gorman” and “Frankie Freako”) to work dreaming up a vivid enemy for the production. Caldinelli keeps “Scared Shitless” short, mostly understanding the expiration date on this type of entertainment, and the offering remains highly amusing and appealingly gory, providing a low-budget celebration of bodily destruction and Canadian wit.
