Storyline
Featured review
Villain steps out of a horror movie and wreaks havoc with microphone
I was so pleased to be invited to be an online screener of this movie. Gerald Gerald Geraldson is a disturbing and fascinating creature. One could argue that every comic is portraying a character onstage. This stage presence can be very close to the actual personality of the artist. Sometimes the character is extreme - Emo Phillips springs to mind. In the case of Gerald Gerald Geraldson, both the character and the material are strong indeed. Geraldson's comedy is comedy delivered by a sociopathic killer, which means sometimes it's not all fun and games. Geraldson is so committed to his character he is fun to watch no matter what's coming out of his mouth. And sometimes that's blood.
Every so often, the standup set wanders away from the funny and into the downright disturbing. Occasionally it's more about revealing the depth of Geraldson's character rather than tickling your funnybone, and sometimes it's more about ripping out your funnybone and ramming it down your goddamn throat, which should delight fans of the horror genre. SEE THIS IF YOU LIKE HORROR MOVIES.
The standup set is broken up with filmed sketches, and some interstitial close-up one-liners for transitions. The sketches are often lighter in tone than the standup, and the change in rhythm and location is refreshing. The sketches allow for some fun filmic tributes to the genre. In fact a few of the sketches are so well paced, almost innocent, yet so strange and sick, I started to feel like I was watching some sort of depraved Sesame Street.
A note on the cutaways to audience reactions: You see this all the time in concert footage, but here the filmmakers chose to leave in the shots of audience members who are clearly just not getting it. This is freaking hilarious. But that's what being a horror fan is like - it's a bit risky. You've got to brace yourself. Gerald Gerald Geraldson can be a fun challenging night out for the brave and the brash, going just to see how much you can take. Daring yourself and your friends to not be grossed out, daring to laugh at the horrors instead of running from them. Or maybe laughing while running from them is the best course of action.
Either way,this guy kills me.
