Movie Reviews of Dr. Giggles

Movie Review: The Doctor is In(sane)
Summary: 5 Stars

Once upon a time there lived a friendly small town Doctor who lived with his wife and son, Evan. But when his wife is diagnosed with a deadly heart disease, doc snaps and hurriedly rushes to find a suitable donor for his beloved. Since searching for a donor involves murdering the locals and cutting them open, doc is soon rumpled.
As the mob descends on him, doc manages to conceal young Evan away (sick - Cartman has spoofed this scene in South Park).

Years later a now adult and deranged Evan (Larry Drake `Darkman') escapes from a sanatorium, and heads home to set up his own practice.
After some one liners and kills involving various medical instruments Evan learns of local girl Jennifer (Holly Marie Combs `Charmed), who suffers from the same heart condition as Evans dear mum did. Evan only wants to save her, but his idea of life saving surgery is basically just ripping her heart out.

From this point on, the film turns into a race against time - who will get to Jennifer first? Her father? Her boyfriend Max (the late Glenn Quinn `Angel')? The police? Or will Evan perform his deadly surgery?

Movie Review: Campy Slasher at it's finest
Summary: 5 Stars

Dr Giggles is an example of a campy cliché filled Slasher that works.
Due to the fact that it doesn't take it's self too seriously.
The various ways he kills his victims and the instruments he uses is fun and entertaining in itself.
A prime example of the rebirth of the Slasher in the 90's.
Larry Drake is wonderful as the creepily humorous Dr Giggles and Holly Marie Combs is good as the heroine .
This movie does what it sets out to do it gives us some campy laughs and some good old school slasher action.The scene where "Dr Giggles" as a boy
has to hide and when the hiding place is revealed It's pretty intense and about the most serious and disturbing scene in the movie.

Movie Review: Still Giggling...
Summary: 5 Stars

Larry Drake is the title character in this maniac-doctor movie. DR. GIGGLES could have been just another mindless slash-o-thon if it weren't for Drake's perfectly demented performance! His medical humor fits in well w/ the way-over-the-top murders he's commiting. The good doctor is even a sympathetic character, with a childhood that could have lead him nowhere else but where he ends up. Drake makes him believable and creepy, as well as pitiful. Holly Marie Combs makes a wonderful victim / heroine / "patient". She is up there w/ Heather Langencamp, Ashley Laurence, and even Jamie Lee Curtis! Watch DR. GIGGLES w/ THE DENTIST for a major malpractice mini-marathon...

Movie Review: Finally coming out on DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am so preordering this! I supplied a review on the original release's page, and I wanted to be the first to review here. This movie has the perfect mix of horror and comedy. I'm just so excited that it's finally getting a proper widescreen DVD release.
