Dr. Giggles, not bad at all, 24 February 2002
Author: jsnyang48

DR. GIGGLES aint too bad at all, the body counts reach a high value and so does the fright factor. The body counts, yes, the amount body counts are way above expectation. From vague memory I can still grab out at least 15 or 16 body counts from the movie. Most are pretty creative, I was mostly amazed at how the creator was able to link the body counts to a doctor's utensils. The fright factor was invoked by Larry Drake's excellent performance as the sadistic Dr. Rendell. His performance as Dr. Evan Rendell was what freaked me out, especially the scene where he was shot and how he was able to giggle as his expression slowly fades to pain. THAT was SCARY. This was a great horror flick, creative and at the same time, scary. Its definitely worth checking out.

10/10 BEST scene: The opening credits where the screen takes us on a journey through a victim's body, and how we see the red blood cells flying toward the screen.
