Psychos In Love


Some horror comedies lean pretty heavily towards the comedy side, and Psychos In Love is no exception. I wouldn't even really say that this film is particularly "horror" as it would be considered more of two insane serial killers coming together and starting to date because of their personal disdain of grapes. Yeah-grapes. Purple ones, green ones, ones with seeds. In bunches and in two's and three's. They fucking hate grapes. It's a joke that is threaded through the entire picture, and somehow I never grew tired of it. You get to meet Joe who is the main dude in this flick that kills women at random and owns a bar/strip club, and Kate who is a manicurist that makes house calls to men's houses to, well, give them manicures and kills them when they start talking about the weather. Men and women are both stabbed and murdered in various gory ways all while having the funnies in the background with these two love birds just being together because what's a better way to build a loving relationship than to keep it open enough to keep on killing. And that's basically what Psychos In Love is all about. They hate grapes and they murder people. There's also a plumber named Herman that is a cannibal who eats his customers after he plumbs their kitchen sinks. I'll be honest here zits and zombies by saying that his character was probably the best of the whole show and I actually wished there was a sequel or a prequel that just focused on Herman. That would have been the tits.

   I don't want to watch this chick sit on the toilet.

Someone really likes killing cute girls.

There's plenty of women's asses that I'd love to sink my teeth into.

That's not blood, that's strawberry pancake syrup.

Why would you offer a hot chick that walks into your bar a glass of grape juice?

"Baby, you look hotter than the weather."

Watch out for Serj Tankian in the background there.

I never knew you could clean your windshield with a sledgehammer.

Even serial killers can find love.

"As a kid I used to do pushups with my tounge."

Everyone in this film is a psycho!

It may not have been fun, but at least you killed that bastard.

Alright, kill this bitch. Please. Kill her.

Along with Joe and Kate having sex, killing people and participating in what seems like a normal relationship as any regular couple would, Psychos In Love also breaks the fourth wall a few times for the sake of the comedy and pacing of the film towards the final twenty minutes or so. Really what it comes down to here is that this picture is damn goofy. I loved every minute of it and I even went back and watched some various scenes over again before getting this review together because I enjoyed certain spots in the film that much. This definitely is not for everyone as I feel some people that aren't into this sort of thing would probably react like how I do with spoofs or parodies (read my reviews on Saturday the 14th and Wacko) because for non-horror or serial killer fans, this might not sit well with some. If you are inclined to give this a go, make sure you pick a plumber out of the phone book by actually doing some research-not by closing your eyes and calling the first one you stab the page with via a kitchen knife. This isn't 1987 anymore.
