dr. giggle should have be a lean and mean and gritty and surreal little horror movie . it be enjoyable and be never boring and but be a kitchen sink movie and meaning there everything in it but . sometimes less really be more and a bit less would have be advise here . the primary influence on the film appear to have be sam raimi ( star larry drake who be excellent be hot off the success of darkman ) and tim burton ( who batman have just usher in the era of 1990s overkill event film ) and neither of whom be know for their restraint . dr. giggle be actually so busy and clutter that it story become overwhelm in a cacophony of arty camera angle and dark cartoonish neon lighting and plot twist and secondary character and background development sketch and musical segue and billow cloud of steam and leer closeup face and hysterical supporting player and over choreograph shock sequence and jam packed picture frame that never sit still and excessive cutting for continuity and obscure character motivation and disposable unuseful dialog and people bang door and break glass and and a self conscious ongoing effort to never allow attention deficit disorder plague viewer from ever get bore . here be a movie who use of graffiti on set wall be even obnoxious and self aware and in the eye of the filmmaker a equally worthy of the viewer attention a what the main character have to say . it a great concept for a film represent nutzo sick maniac doctor escape from the local sanatorium and promptly set up a home practice and start kill people in various inventive way . the problem be that some of those way be a bit too inventive . doctor be scary by nature and with their face mask and drab clothing and bag of sinister instrument that be suppose to cure ailment and and a seem joy of deliver the bad news possible to their patient . want to watch your family physician freak out . do some sit ups right before he take your blood pressure and or maybe walk up a flight of stair to their office . be suppose to be get more exercise but you show an elevated heart rate and the son of a bitch will have you on some medication that put you to sleep and call that progress . amazing . so the idea of have a doctor in a horror movie become a creepy and sinister juggernaut of evil isn not that far off the track of everyday reality . the problem with dr. giggle be that he be never allow to just be scary . check out a movie from about the same time and 1989 the dead pit for another sinister psychotic physician who actually be frightening and and whose creator be happy just to let him lurk around the bowel of a condemned sanatorium carve people brain out . but be chase around by some giggling and squeaky voice loon with a giant tongue suppressor isn not my idea of scary . it weird and and the shame with this film be that it confuse weird with scary . it sort of an overblown surrealist melange of sight and sound and fury and noise and color and obnoxiously arty camera angle . the movie be so busy and clutter i have no idea what the story really be about even after two viewing and and that might be tell . here be a film who story isn not really important but instead consist a a tightly edit and flamboyantly produce series of set piece about a surrealist and over the top insane doctor . it pass the time well enough and fan of late 80 or early 90 teen horror will be well serve and but after ward the one thing you will probably want more than anything be a couple of aspirin and a nice quiet well lit room to sit in for a few minute so you can catch your breath . ahh and that good . 4/10 represent not without it merit and but less would have be more .
