Far less crazy than it wants to be and far more soporific than a synopsis would suggest.

Esterhazy’s direction is consistently flat and uninspired given the nonstop opportunities for twisted weirdness, but the failure of The Banana Splits Movie can be pinned almost entirely on the sawdust-packed script…

I feel like it was such a missed opportunity in this film not to go completely zany, over-the-top, kooky.

Slasher comedy-horror isn't a kid-friendly reboot.

There are not enough laughs to be scary and the scares are too feeble to be effective, but a few gory kills save the pic from landing in Dullsville, USA.

Yes, it's silly. Yes, the acting is bad. However, in an era of some of the best, most dread inducing horror we have ever had, sometimes it's next to throw ourselves back to a 90's horror camp era and just enjoy the kills.

Fun and stupid. The banana splits movie is a FNAF inspired movie that is fun to watch and to entertain.

They're so silly and cute and especially brutal. Woaaaah. Premise is kind of dumb, but at least it's pretty fun!

I liked it, I wasn't bored, the story is really good, I have no complaints, and I bought the second movie which I don't think will do badly.

It’s a good movie but comedy could of been more especially for the kids show like Karl could of been a lot more evil considering he made them that way and the bingo could of been a lot more scarier for a 18 movie

While there are some creative kills, the acting across the board is laughable and never helped me buy into the comedic horror of the situations.
