My Thoughts on Scared Shitless

Featuring creature effects work by Steven Kostanski (Manborg, Psycho Goreman, In a Violent Nature), Scared Shitless is an incredibly gory creature feature evocative of James Gunn’s Slither and Chuck Russell’s 1988 remake of The Blob. This makes for a generally entertaining film, even though it could have used less gross-out toilet humour. At least this humour was limited to finding severed appendages in the septic system rather than making the title of Scared Shitless a literal description of the film.
