You still don't get the point

Those reviewers who criticize this film for being crass, vulgar and sadistic are missing the point, just like Hard Man in the film. Its for all these reasons that Funny Man is so bloody enjoyable. The plot may be a little threadbare, but if you like the sound of a group of oddball characters being slaughtered by a wise cracking, malicious jester, then this is the film for you. Oh, its also very funny to boot.

Painfully unfunny bilge, a film for those who find Roy Chubby Brown too highbrow.
Not funny, not scary, just cheap nasty and sad.

This film is a hidden jem. The movie is a dark comady/horror. The film is well directed by Simon Sprackling. Not bad acting either from Christopher Lee, Benny Young, Matthew Devitt. It has a wird story that some may not get at first, but is worthy of watching tho.
Sorted!

If your expecting a horror, dont buy this, altho in truth the Funnyman is a killer, but its the fantastic script that keeps this film above the other slasher movies.
Christopher Lee loses his stately home (purposefully) in a high risk game of cards to an arrogant record company executive, the exec moves into the house complete with trophy wife, inquisitive son and moody teenage daughter, cliches perhaps but tounge in cheek for sure, there he awaits his brother to bring his belongings to his new home but along the way picks up a rag tag bunch of hitch-hikers.
Of course the funnyman dispatches them one by one, nothing new there i hear you cry, but its the way he does it, each death is feindishly inventive with the Funnyman, making razor sharp quips that make Freddy Krueger's jokes seem play school-ish.
In his own brand of part welsh part yorkshire the Funnyman lives up to his name with aplom. You are always on the Funnymans side partly because of his humour and partly because the characters are purposefully obnoxious.
All in all a fantastic horror/comedy, great script, very well acted, the only minus point possibly are the special effects, but they are certainly adequate at least. Highly recommended film, with many great features on the disc.
SORTED! p.s, i challenge you not to sing the theme song!
