Its target audience is without question people who are just looking for a mindless good time and horny teenagers who find fart jokes to be the epitome of humor.

At least the Scary Movie features had a budget and filmmakers with some genre battle scars. Stan Helsing is more Friedberg/Seltzer territory: random, agonizingly desperate, and dripping with laziness.

Puerile, yes, but rooted sincerely in character, this well cast comedy lampoons contemporary film audiences' familiarity with the horror genre without ever stooping to senselessly overloaded referential gags.

If Stan does nothing else, it should at least get its four leads some attention.

If there's one thing of which the cinematic world doesn't need more, it's horror movie spoofs.

How low can the genre-spoof genre go?

This might be the cheapest-looking production of the year.

How do you make fun of boredom without being boring? Well, that's a tall task requiring lots of smarts and even more artistry.

By the time we reach the climactic karaoke smackdown, we have learned more about Freddy Krueger’s personal hygiene challenges -- and how to make a shockingly bad movie -- than we ever wanted to know.

To its credit, Stan Helsing is no less funny than the studio comedy Couples Retreat, meaning that even marquee comedians like Vince Vaughn couldn't save this film.

Mostly the gags are unfortunate and amateurish, but this micro-budget flick at least has a semi-coherent plot and every 10 minutes or so there's a flash of wit.

Concocting a Halloween season brew of grossout and gentle gore, Stan Helsing doesn't let its derivative horror get in the way of over the top humor served up spicy and raw.

The generically attractive young cast gamely tries to pump life into the script, to no avail.
