- I remember this scene! Up in the booth, we were hysterical! This guy
- picks up the bottom of a running lawnmower, holds it vertically in
- front of him like a shield, and shreds his way through a crowded room
- of about 30-40 people. It's a long scene too.
-
- Another funny scene is one in which the female character is leaning
- on a counter with her palms propping up her head, nonchalantly dropping
- arms, feet, etc into a blender.
-
- Moving on: Another weird film at the fest was "The Refrigerator".
- This had to be one of the dumbest films I've ever seen. It dealt with
- a couple being terrorized by an old gas refrigerator in their apartment.
- Meanwhile, the bisexual leather-clad landlord is after the wife, along
- with various other creeps... Bad dialogue, bad movie.
- The one funny scene is when the 'fridge attempts its first kill, by
- luring the wife near the freezer with a tub of Haagen-Daz, then slamming
- shut on her (complete with glowing red light and spurts of blood).
