Having made a name for themselves with 2002's distinctively dead-pan and gleefully puerile Cop farce Super Troopers, comedy-team Broken Lizard's follow-up is an equally successful parody of hormonally-packed Slasher movies, again offering a wealth of chuckles as long as you're on the same wavelength.
Set on a hedonistic island resort headed by burnt-out '70s one-hit-wonder Coconut Pete (an exquisitely scene-stealing Bill Paxton), the film follows the increasingly endangered staff (engagingly played by the Lizards) and nubile holidaymakers as a machete-wielding psychopath stalks them.
Despite targeting a genre already effectively spoofed via the Screams and Scary Movies, Club Dread still thrives on the group's enormous charm and the determined, genuinely funny comedic approach of knowing pop-culture winks and a zaniness that marks them as pleasingly Pythonesque.
