/ stonedgremlinproductions www.thecinemasn... / thecinemasnob And the winner of this week's Viewer's Choice episode is this Sherman Hemsley haunted house comedy directed by "Alan Smithee."
The slave torture device is a metaphor for the movie itself, because Sherman financed the movie so heavily he was trapped inside of it while it repeatedly screwed and emasculated him. And him being killed by ghosts who engineer a fatal car explosion is a metaphor for the movie bombing horribly and destroying Sherman financially.
"Hmm...yes, the president of the Confederacy, KING TUT!" God damn that made me laugh, Brad truly has a talent for making awkward, bizarrely unfunny and tasteless comedies seem entertaining.
Anyone else feel like this is a weirdly interesting concept? Not a ghost comedy, but rather, seeing the haunting ghosts perspective while they do the haunting.
i don't even think snob would sink that low. you don't get much worse that cosby movies. i'd rather watch las vegas bloodbath 50 times than sit through even one of those.
+Victor Von Doom Jr. this movie is basically diet Ghostbusters where it takes all the fun stuff that made Ghostbusters good and replace it with bland comedy
Squirrel Gadget unfortunately they don’t seem to parody the titles of the movies that they spoof anymore. In the old days we used to get parody titles like “The Flintbones”, “The Boneheads”, and “Edward Penis Hands”. Nowadays the titles are all “This Ain’t The Flintstones” or “The Coneheads: A Porn Parody”.
I've been a subscriber for years. You are by far my favorite youtuber, hands down. You should have multiple millions of followers. I've probably seen this video a dozen times and it's still hilarious. Thank you for the hours upon hours of entertainment. Next time your in Chicago I'd love to buy you and the wife never ending drinks and an extra large Piece pizza. That won't happen for obvious reasons but still, thanks.
18:44 I can hear her poorly contained giggles, ''I'll go get my seance hat! You're going to Love it! Cher was going to borrow it for a tour, but I couldn't bear to part with it.''
Oh my god, I watched this at a slumber party when I was 8 or 9! And it spooked me! I’m having memories crash over me. And WTF, I’ve seen a movie that Cinema Snob has covered 🙀
I saw the Smokin' Joe entry in the opening credits, and through the whole movie I kept wondering how the hell he would fit into the story. Now that it's over... I still have no idea.
26:45 - *Snob: "And if they ever decide to remake this piece of shit, well, I know who the internet will blame for that one!"* You? *Snob: "Damn Right!"*
Careful what you wish for Snob. GHOST FEVER (2017) already in production with Kevin Hart & a mustached Dwayne Johnson. Bo Derek will pull an Eddie Murphy by playing every other role.
I am in the vast minority but I loved this movie. I loved the review of it too. I grew up watching this all the time. I had a huge crush on Sherman Hemsley growing up. This was on TV all the time when I was young and I'd get so happy. I loved it more than Ghostbusters and Gremlins as a kid. It was one of my faves so for nostalgia, it's still something I adore.
I've seen some bizarre things,a Croc eating a cow train and panda wearing a tutu with a flamingo on its head dancing. But this is beyond insane. wtf is this movie? I might need therapy now.
This is just like electing the entire Cubs infield to the All-Star Game. Sometimes you have to take the vote away from the fans for the good of the show.
This is one of those movies I remember sitting through multiple times as a kid, on purpose, without even realizing how bad it was until years later- shows how feeble minded I was as a tot! ....I got better, I swear
That ending, marvelous. It just brought the biggest smile to my face seeing that in a supposed comedy. And right after that boxing shit-show, too. It totally makes sense that this was an adult comedy at some point. Just considering the year this was made in, there was probably a lot of nudity from those two blonds in the original cut and a lot more dirty jokes. And then someone had the bright idea to make this a family film.
Sheesh, this one looks even harder to stomach than Ghost Dad. At least that thing had the delightfully ridiculous satanic taxi driver and that scene with the telephone.
My 10 or 11 year old self probably would've enjoyed this. Maybe. Never heard of it. Surprised I didn't watch it 2 times per weekend on HBO, ala Saturday the 14th, etc. Thanks Snob!
I'm confused. Everything about this movie screams made for tv but then Hemsley says goddamn it which would've been allowed. What the hell is this thing?
No, no, fear not. The censors could've *easily* edited out that line. Its just they had trouble allowing the torture humor, slave humor, unnecessary boxing scene, and dark ending to pass through censors.
GruntGamerProductions But if it was originally shot for TV he wouldn't have said it in the first place. Also, people were way less sensitive about racial humor back then than the are now. I'm sure that would've sailed right past most people in the 1980's, no prob.
Ahh I know that guy. The first time I got into an internet argument was on one of his videos. I'd been peacefully on the internet for years and just one random comment on some random guy's video got me constant notifications for 2 flippin years afterward. The toxicity on his videos is just off the charts.
Always loved Liam Neeson in that. Haven't seen it in so long! Though, I probably wouldn't like it much now. According to IMDB, Steve Guttenberg has been in a lot over the years. But it's things I don't watch. Haha!
he's still acting just nothing mainstream. his IMDb is sprinkled with low budget, independent movies and TV movies some of the latest being Sharknado 4 and some kind of lava tarantula movie. the tarantula one is a sequel for a movie from last year... I also loved that movie when I was younger haven't seen it in years.
I don't get why everyone seems to hate that movie so much. Yes, it is incredibly dumb, but between the singing heads, the sweet music box song, the incredibly relatable overcoming the fear of spiders scene, the bumbling servants, and Terrance Stamp having a gay old time overacting the shit out of his character, I just don't see why it gets such a bad rap. Plus, it's quite beautiful at times in the lighting and colour themes, and it's a lot of fun imagining every Eddie Murphy scene is actually Donkey from Shrek in another life.
This actually is VERY similar to Ghostbusters: Answer The Call. There's barely a script and the actors are completely cut loose with endless unfunny improv, the director doing NOTHING to reign them in.
Are you "sure" this isn't worse than INDEPENDENCE DAY (1983)? I mean... at least that has an exploding Dianne Wiest. Well, I guess if there is one thing we know ghosts can't do, it's direct.
Some Random Name Sorry, couldn't tell. I have seen people argue plenty of stupid shit in the comments. Yesterday a guy tried to convince me that aluminum is a man-made metal, and doesn't occur naturally.
I didn't donate on Patreon, because I don't have an account, and I'm flat fuckin' broke, but I was hopping this movie would win instead of the porno spoof.
@@sorryifoldcomment8596 Actors pretending to play musical instruments hilariously wrong is one of my favourite things to watch for in films. You'd be surprised how often it happens, but I've never seen an example this egregious!

The Haunted Mansion is no longer the worst PG-rated haunted house comedy to bizarrely involve slavery.
Jordan Peele should remake this (either as a similar comedy or as a socially contemplative horror)
Man, this could be done super well.
thats such a great idea.
Imagine if his attempt at directing this went the same way as Sherman’s fate during this.
i need a compilation of every time Brad does his loud, exaggerated laugh at unfunny bits.
yes please, that shit gets me every time
@@redvelvetunderground I refer to it as his "Angry Sarcastic Laugh" lol.
"Hmm...yes, the president of the Confederacy, KING TUT!" God damn that made me laugh, Brad truly has a talent for making awkward, bizarrely unfunny and tasteless comedies seem entertaining.
Yeah first time I heard that one I laughed so hard I literally spit out my drink
Anyone else feel like this is a weirdly interesting concept? Not a ghost comedy, but rather, seeing the haunting ghosts perspective while they do the haunting.
You need to see Beetlejuice.
For a horrifying moment I thought he was reviewing "Ghost Dad"
i don't even think snob would sink that low. you don't get much worse that cosby movies. i'd rather watch las vegas bloodbath 50 times than sit through even one of those.
+Thomas Jenkins NC apparently went that low
KEEPAWAY PRODUCTION
that's because doug has no standards.
In the Snob's 2011 review of "Child Bride", he said he has no standards, unless things have changed since then.
EclecticEnnui
child bride is fine art compared to a cosby movie. gain some perspective.
I feel like Cinema Snob's viewers have even more strange priorities than the Cinema Snob
I think we'll be getting slime=jizz jokes from the new Ghostbusters movie. We don't even need the porno spoof.
"Ha, men are terrible and women get periods! Am I right ladies?" is pretty much how I expect the whole movie to go
+Hawl and Sera The Shapeshifting Cyber Spider Tigress Yup!
well, if your expectations are THAT low, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised if you watched it. But you also probably won't watch it.
That would be kind of ironic. She actually lost 75 pounds for Ghostbusters.
This movie looks absolutely dire. I hope they enjoyed shooting it, as I can't believe anyone has ever enjoyed watching it...
When a movie is so obscure it has no tv tropes page...
I think Dianne Weist blowing herself up is the Snob's new recurring gag.
No joke, the only part of these clips that got a genuine chuckle out of me is Hemsley's last line.
My brother is gonna be so psyched. He loved this movie as a kid. Thanks to everyone who voted for it.
"Day light come and make me go want to jump off a bridge" did it for me.
Ah, the new Cinema Snob video. These make Mondays bearable. I cannot think of higher praise.
Very much appreciated as always, Brad.
Ah, an explanation about what Alan Smithee is less than three minutes in. As expected from Brad.
I would always see the VHS of this in my local video store. God I'm grateful I never gave it a chance, holy hell.
Jesus did Brad find a bad one this week! No more Patreon voter polls. Restore Authoritarian rule!
but......money......
jzornthgrt I need to stay off 4chan. I immediately thought of that and then cringed.
+BesterP12 I voted for the porno.
More like Ghost Dysentery.
Yeah. It requires a Ghost Enema.
_Ghosts of the Oregon Trail_.
+Jonathan Friedman That was the one device the slave-owner ghost didn't invent.
+Jonathan Friedman No! Not another reference to Water Power!! 😨
This is one of my favorite Cinema Snob episodes
I got bored when it went to theboxing scene. Not of the Snob commentary, but of the film clips. That's how dragged out this stupid film was.
this movie is not stupid it's more than stupid it's boring
+Victor Von Doom Jr. this movie is basically diet Ghostbusters where it takes all the fun stuff that made Ghostbusters good and replace it with bland comedy
Yeah, it removed all the bland comedy and replaced it with bland comedy I didn't appreciate because I wasn't 12 anymore.
+eddie frank True, true. Now I kinda want to go see This Ain't Ghistbusters. It has to be more interesting, at least.
+The Dark Side of Light atleast that will have something worth watching
You know, I always thought the porn parody of Ghostbusters would be called Nutbusters.
Squirrel Gadget unfortunately they don’t seem to parody the titles of the movies that they spoof anymore. In the old days we used to get parody titles like “The Flintbones”, “The Boneheads”, and “Edward Penis Hands”. Nowadays the titles are all “This Ain’t The Flintstones” or “The Coneheads: A Porn Parody”.
"Nutbusters" sounds more like a BDSM movie about a clan of dominatrix inflicting pain to the testicles of their submissive gimps.
Christ I read the title as Ghost Dad. I nearly had an anxiety attack

Brad, your sarcasm was even more on-point than usual this time around. Probably necessary with this...thing ^
The devil went down to Georgia and he was very disappointed.
18:44 I can hear her poorly contained giggles, ''I'll go get my seance hat! You're going to Love it! Cher was going to borrow it for a tour, but I couldn't bear to part with it.''
Worst ghost movie about slave torture and vampire evictions EVER!
That's a bold statement
I can't even believe this movie could get made. WTF were they thinking!!
Oh my god, I watched this at a slumber party when I was 8 or 9! And it spooked me! I’m having memories crash over me. And WTF, I’ve seen a movie that Cinema Snob has covered 🙀
I saw the Smokin' Joe entry in the opening credits, and through the whole movie I kept wondering how the hell he would fit into the story. Now that it's over... I still have no idea.
I would have gone with ghosthicular manslaughter
The fact that Tyler Perry hasn't remade this saddens me

I'm just waiting for the day the snob reviews Repossessed, the exorcist parody with Linda Blair.
He could have a whole Linda Blair month if he wanted to. She's appeared in some real gems, lol.

"That voodoo curse by our slaves, has turned him into a vampire."
I love 80s PG and PG13. I heard someone on the news going on about how PG13 is becoming what R used to be. I so wanted to call bullshit on that.
more like R is what PG-13 used to be.
Morbos1000
really that's not ghostbusters for real!
awkward! f*** you!
Careful what you wish for Snob. GHOST FEVER (2017) already in production with Kevin Hart & a mustached Dwayne Johnson. Bo Derek will pull an Eddie Murphy by playing every other role.

Ectoplasm pills. That's a thing that was said.
There are times I feel sorry for Brad, because he has to watch movies like Ghost Fever.
I love this review. I've watched this every night for the past few evenings.
This was a great favorite of mine when I was a kid. Re-watched it a year or so ago and . . . basically had your reaction.
This is one of those movies I remember sitting through multiple times as a kid, on purpose, without even realizing how bad it was until years later- shows how feeble minded I was as a tot! ....I got better, I swear
"Does a ghost have to penetrate your ass in order for you to believe in them?!" lol

Yes, yes, yes. The one I wanted. GHOST FEVER is a childhood favorite of mine. Thank you, Brad. Thank you, voters.
wow...an Electric Company reference...I feel so old now...I used to watch that in the afternoons along with 3...2...1...Contact
Hope we get a "Dancin, It's On!" review soon.
4:40 predicted the premise for Resident Evil VIllAGE
I love you, Brad
26:54 Jokes on them, chick ghosts already have equal haunting rights
Sadako and Grudge chick really broke that glass ceiling.
I hadn't seen comedy forced this hard from a black comic relief character since Richard Pryor in Superman 3. Yeeeghhh...
Because silent ominous music and a funeral scene definitely reads comedy.
It's comedy to some people. Some messed up people.
Mouse Hunt is a comedy and it starts with a funeral scene. But that's actually a good movie and the funeral has purpose in the story.
+Shwah Gamers yeah but that movie was good.
14:00 - "Jail..."
What's disturbing is that my parents showed me and my brother this movie when we were kids. I remember it being stupid even then. lol
Sheesh, this one looks even harder to stomach than Ghost Dad. At least that thing had the delightfully ridiculous satanic taxi driver and that scene with the telephone.
lool "Hi Cher". I wish she could have came and turned back the time on the production of this movie, Oi!
My 10 or 11 year old self probably would've enjoyed this. Maybe. Never heard of it. Surprised I didn't watch it 2 times per weekend on HBO, ala Saturday the 14th, etc. Thanks Snob!
Woo! Best Bday gift! Thanks Brad!
I'm confused. Everything about this movie screams made for tv but then Hemsley says goddamn it which would've been allowed. What the hell is this thing?
***** I know that, but was it a made for TV waste or what? :)
No, no, fear not. The censors could've *easily* edited out that line. Its just they had trouble allowing the torture humor, slave humor, unnecessary boxing scene, and dark ending to pass through censors.

"They have names! Like people!"
I can't wait for the next Friday the 13th movie review.
I'm going to stop reading comments. Some commenters are whinier than Danger Dolan ones.

"I AM JETHRO!"
I loved this movie when I was a child xD I watched it a bunch
This just seems like Beetlejuice except early 80s and minus anything good.
Ghost Fever Dream, I wish.
So which is worse; Ghost Fever or the Eddie Murphy 's version of the Haunted Mansion?
Ghost Fever.
Anyone remember the movie "High Spirits" with The Guttenberg? I loved that movie when I was little.... whatever happened to the Guttes?
Always loved Liam Neeson in that. Haven't seen it in so long! Though, I probably wouldn't like it much now. According to IMDB, Steve Guttenberg has been in a lot over the years. But it's things I don't watch. Haha!

Nice
Steve Guttenberg was a big name back in the 80's. short circuit, most of the police academy movies, etc.
he was on Community last year
Still a better movie than Eddie Murphy's Haunted Mansion.
At least this one's funny in it's ridiculousness.
uhhhhh...
That's debatable.
I don't get why everyone seems to hate that movie so much.

Brad, your obscure movie references make seek out and often watch those films. don't know whether to thank you or curse you.
ohhhh yeah I remember this.
A Skindeep refrence, well done Brad, love that movie.
I feel like a Critic of the whole entire damn world you'll get d pluses
wow, someone other than me actually knows about this movie lol. I actually loved it when I was younger
The snobs smile is going to give me nightmares

He gets high, thinks he's a boxer and in the same night gets to fight in a prize match, driven in a limo, has a training crew and intro music
It's that easy
Wow Snob, really taking risks here, not even a week after the Dallas Shooting.
Don't blame me, I voted for This Ain't Ghostbusters.
He is an entertainer dumbass.
+Some Random Name do you mean moron or is this turning into a religous hate speech thing
Some Random Name
Sorry, couldn't tell. I have seen people argue plenty of stupid shit in the comments. Yesterday a guy tried to convince me that aluminum is a man-made metal, and doesn't occur naturally.
Cause this movie is totally relevant to those events.
The Dance off song, for all that I am worth of internet search, I can not find anywhere.
Is this the prequel to Ghost Dad?
Okay wait they killed them off? Jeez!
But uhm... still better than Eddie Murphy in "Haunted Mansion" i guess?
This came out AFTER Ghostbusters? ...It looks like a TV movie made 10 years BEFORE Ghostbusters. ...By Disney...

I would be thankful for the grits and watermelon
"and why the fuck am I not watching THAT movie?" we can call it Django Unearthed!
