What would it not be like if the dearly departed singer and laid-back life-style guru Jimmy Buffett have been a murderous monster? I will guess that after watching Murdaritaville, a brand new horror film from a distributor known as Haddonfield Horror, you continue to will not know the reply to that query.

Within the days of grindhouse cinema, making marketable films on a decent finances typically meant selecting material so sensational that the posters triggered moviegoers to say, “Good lord! There is a film about that?” after which pony up for a ticket. The outcomes of this marketing-first strategy have been generally known as “exploitation” movies, and whereas some have been cynical trash heaps, others have been works of secret genius.

For no matter purpose, hitting individuals proper of their sense of propriety and good style appears to be tougher nowadays, but when the fervor round final 12 months’s Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is any indication — together with the current streak of irreverent Steamboat Willie variations — it appears you possibly can nonetheless rattle individuals by hitting them proper of their financial assumptions. Just like the Pooh-centric public domain-exploitation movie which will or might not have impressed it, Murdaritaville seems to focus on a loophole in copyright regulation — the carve-out for parody, on this case — inflicting potential viewers to go, “Absolutely somebody goes to be sued for this.”

Furthermore, Buffett solely handed away final September.

Murdaritaville, when you’re actually curious, “follows a bunch of buddies on their method to a live performance once they begin getting attacked by a parrot man,” in line with the Haddonfield Horror web site. That website refers back to the movie as a “ship up of your Dad’s favourite margarita sipping seaside crooner,” and though the trailer consists of referential snippets of dialogue like “it is my very own rattling fault,” the movie would not seem to make use of the phrases “Margaritaville” or “Jimmy Buffett,” and is sort of definitely on the protected aspect of issues when it comes to mental property regulation. And since “too quickly” isn’t a robust foundation for a lawsuit both, nobody will most likely be suing Haddonfield Horror for this.

Murdaritaville was directed by Paul Dale and written by Dale and Dylan McGovern. It stars Jenna-Francis Duvic and shall be out there “by way of Amazon,” in line with the Haddonfield Horror website, most likely that means Blu-ray and VHS copies might be purchased there on March 1.
