The Breakdown

  • Serial killer premise leans on child-targeted horror
  • Practical effects carry the low budget but dated
  • Clint Howard commits fully to the unhinged role
  • Thin plot padded with random kills and ice cream puns

Side Effects

cheap thrills that age like melted vanilla in the sun

Watch Instead

Skip it. Watch 'The Stuff' instead — same era, better killer food premise.
