New review! Killing Dad

You know those YouTube film review channels that claim “I watched this so you don’t have to”? Well, I don’t ascribe to that approach. Usually I want you to watch this stuff, even the worst of it has something to appeal to the discerning viewer (that’s you, by the way).

But I’ll make an exception for Killing Dad, which has no redeeming features at all. It wastes its stellar cast, it doesn’t entertain, it really isn’t so-bad-it’s-good. It’s just bad.

Killing Dad is a 1989 comedy film about a murderous young man (Richard E Grant, trampling all over the reputation he’d built with his performance in Withnail and I) who sets out to kill his own father. And much comical shenanigans don’t ensue.

Put it this way, my review is definitely funnier than the purported “comedy” it covers. And it wasn’t hard for me to achieve that.

Yes, I watched this load of old cobblers so you don’t have to.

But that said, now you’re here, why not read the review?
