Fleegle B @RT44658401 04/25/2024 Better then the velma show See more 01/10/2022 As a straight up generic horror it has all the right elements. As something that is meant to be a play on Scooby Doo it fails miserably... In my opinion the characters needed to have the same innocence as the TV show and then, alongside the crazy R rated horror content, it would have actually been highly entertaining. But having the characters in the same tone as rest of the movie just makes them seem dumb and tacky, with a lot of the humor coming off as stupid and juvenile. And the only true homage we actually get toward the show is a random drug induced voice imitation... See more 11/20/2020 It suffers from not knowing what it wants to be. It clearly riffs on Scooby Doo without completely copying the characters and has some funny moments based around that, but it spends a lot of time rooted in the straight horror genre. Is a worthwhile watch for fans of B-horror, but could have been much better if it picked a lane. Still, it works for anyone that wants to see the Mystery Gang meet real killers.

See more 06/14/2015 The general concept of the movie is promising and the four leading actors are game for it, but it fails to clever enough to be funny. And with no budget, the idea of setting the story in 1994 creates a number of "fails" -- inspection tags on cars have the date of 2011 and the mobile phones are not accurate. That is probably minor to most people, but errors like that drive me crazy. See more 08/22/2014 "Saturday Morning Mystery" (formerly known as Saturday Morning Massacre- and Massacre is still the film's true form.) is a bizarre little indie flick directed by Spencer Parsons. The film stars Ashley Rae Spillers, Johnny Mars, Josephine Decker, Adam Tate and Paul Gordon. The story follows a crack pot team of paranormal investigators, much like the Scooby gang, who get hired to dispel the rumors and fears of locals around the paranormal activity at an estate. The group soon learn that there are much more sinister things hidden behind the walls of the Kyser schoolhouse. The gang choose to stay and solve the creepy behind the going-ons at the property, which proves to be in grave error. The decision to solve this mystery becomes a real massacre. "Saturday Morning Mystery", (or Massacre) as I prefer to consider the film, is truly one of those strange films that blows you away. I had expected some cheesy, retro-throttled, low-budget spectacle. At the start there is a real throwback feel to the film which clearly became inspired by the cartoon mystery gang- only with the characters and their back-story though. Beyond that the similarities become terrifyingly obsolete. This is a real fright-fest fanfare story, with a way more sinister series of events than any cartoon show could think of inspiring. It becomes a truly gripping and nail-biting grindhouse horror story. The kitschy beginning and groovy build-up in this film has a cleverly darker intent. That intent is to throw you off guard, and then drag you into the pits of hellish nightmares as your nails tear off, and blood stained cries shatter the dark chilling air! This film is one of those rides into horror land that you will be glad you took. Think -The Scooby gangs accidentally wonder into the path of Stag Night kinfolk in a rural setting. The story in this film is pretty well written and flows beautifully. There are a couple of moments that go off between dialog and scene portrayal. Actually only two that I remember seeming off was the "tab of acid" line and the "I totally have a jimmy in this bag" (or something like that.) There was no tabs taken-the drug leeched into the water cooler, and the character that said the line about the jimmy didn't have a bag on her in the scene. At least I didn't see one. Anyway those two moments - that is all-those two were the only milliseconds that slowed my totally pleasurable horror ride into this window to Hell. Pretty much every aspect of the film from cinematography to directed to soundtrack and kill scenes rocked in "Saturday Morning Mystery" You don't expect the intense vicious turn this film takes toward the last act but man it drags you in and sets you on the edge of the slaughtering blade of horror. This is truly one of the best indie horror films I have seen and a must for horror movie collectors. See more Read all reviews
