I'm the usual fan of this kind of movies but this one did not hook me up. The movie was following every trope and be funny but feels like a try hard.

Plot summary
For humanity's own good, in a high-security, top-secret facility for the criminally insane, five of the world's most hideous and deranged killers are locked up without trial. Although this may be true, rather unexpectedly, a wide array of lunatics ranging from cannibalistic gourmets to maniacal dentists, and from demented hobbyists to psychotic clowns from hell and insane pious sinners, will escape making their way to Macon County Funhouse for its grand opening night. Soon, with the attraction's crew conveniently replaced by the gang of psychos, the unsuspecting customers who paid for thrills will witness a hack-hack, chop-chop realistic show that goes all the way.

Did not finish it
Waste of time and talent
This movie had a few decent actors in it and that helped I guess. This movie was trying to be funny and it worked in a few scenes, but the movie barely had a plot or a motive on why everything happened unless I missed that part. Don't waste your time on this garbage.
The Funhouse Massacre: Take your brain out fun
The Funhouse Massacre is a comedy horror which actually manages to deliver on both fronts, not to groundbreaking levels but is regardless some real take your brain out fun.
It tells the story of a group of inmates who are broken out of a top secret asylum for the worst of the worst. Being Halloween there is a nearby horror attraction which they descend upon for a night of carnage.
With Robert Englund in the opening scene and the whole thing looking the part my hopes were fairly high within the first few minutes and I have to say they were met. This is never going to win any awards for originality but it sets about doing everything you'd expect and does it above par.
Also starring uber industry veteran Clint Howard as one of our psychopaths I was shocked just how well comedy blended with the subject matter all things considered. With a couple of comedy psychos and a hopefully inept deputy who cracked me up throughout, alongside your usual array of stereotypical 20-somethings it's roster is very strong.
The sfx are entirely practical with lashings of gore, some inventive kills and absolutely no mercy.
It's a slasher film with character and some genuinely enjoyable comedy. Take it for what it is and you might actually find yourself having a laugh riot.
The Good:
Robert Englund
Some funny moments
Decent opening
Looks great
Oddly good performances
The Bad:
Some stuff defies logic
