      I''ve always been drawn to the goofy side of cinema. I love horror movies that have a sense of humor and doesn’t try to be the next great slasher, zombie, torture porn flick that we’ve seen thousands of times before. Give me a movie with some clever humor and a ridiculous plot and I’m in. One movie that I’ve known about for years but never had the opportunity to check it out was 1990’s Attack of the Killer Refrigerator. I had seen this one floating around in various horror sites on VHS but I was out of tape collecting at the time so I never tried to score a copy. I did find it on bootleg DVD a few years back but I never pulled the trigger on it. I’m glad I waited because the folks over at Terror Vision released the film on blu. I refused to sleep on this release so I snagged a copy and tossed it in when I could. T

     he film follows a group of teenagers who decide to have a little get together. As time goes on the group separate to fornicate and one by one an old fridge that they randomly abused comes to life to seek revenge. 

      Attack of the Killer Refrigerator is not trying to be anything but a fun movie. It’s cheap, rushed, and messy but it’s funny and holds your attention just long enough to finish it. It’s a movie you can toss on with some friends and have some laughs or binge watch with some beers with movies like Over-sexed Rug Suckers from Mars. The acting in this one has plenty of room for improvement but I wouldn’t say that it was bad. Sure, it’s awkward at times and the cast’s eyes wonder all over the screen but they react naturally with one another. It makes the absurd story work while giving the film some humor. It ma be cringy humor but the cast still delivers some laughs. The story for this one is short and simple. It gets straight to the point and doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. The film is less than 20 minutes which is a brilliant run time for a film like this. Stretching it out any further would have stretched the joke way too thin. Finally, the film has some blood but don’t expect memorable deaths with amazing gore. The deaths are funny and fit the film but they will not stick with you like some of your favorite kills from other genre favorites. Overall, Attack of the Killer Refrigerator is a short shot on video horror comedy about a killer fridge. It’s not a title that will change your life forever but it’s fun especially if you are drunk or high. Check it out on blu now from Terror Vision.
