Plot

[edit]

Pleasure Island is a resort off the coast of Costa Rica, owned by famous, washed-up musician Coconut Pete. Staff members Rolo, Stacy, and Kelly sneak into the jungle to have sex, where they are ambushed and murdered by a masked figure. Meanwhile, Lars, the new fill-in masseur, arrives at the resort.

The resort staff discover another body behind the kitchen, and Dave relates a story about a former employee named Phil Colletti who lost his mind and murdered his fellow staff members, before castrating himself and running away. Putman alerts the others when he finds Cliff murdered in a hedge maze. A message left by the killer suggests that he is targeting only the staff. It later comes out that notes being left by the killer relate to Coconut Pete's songs. All communication devices and transportation have been stolen or destroyed while the staff tries to keep the guests from being panicked.

Hank, a former FBI serial killing investigator, convinces the staff to continue with their jobs and allow him to catch the killer. Two staff members decide to warn the guests and they (alongside Hank) are soon found dead by the hands of the killer.

The staff begins to suspect one of the guests, Penelope. Juan, believing her innocent, tries to eliminate her as a suspect. Putman disappears into the jungle after having a nightmare. Sam and Dave find a shrine of photos of Lars and his friends, in which all of the faces except Lars' have been replaced with Pete's; suspicion turns on Lars and the staff lock Lars in the resort's drunk tank. The killer attempts to kill Jenny by dropping a television into the swimming pool, but Jenny escapes just in time, ultimately killing Dirk and causing a power failure. Putman returns, and he and Jenny deduce that Lars is not the killer, and return to the drunk tank to release him, only to find that he has escaped.

When Pete is found dead, the staff members turn on each other. Partway through the argument, Lars returns and discovers Pete's body. Just as everything escalates, Jenny calms everyone else down and tries to convince the group that they must work together to survive until the shuttle from the mainland returns for the guests. The staff split up and Dave restores the electricity, seconds before being beheaded by the killer. Jenny and Lars find Dave's severed head and, thinking the killer is coming for them, hide under a bed. Jenny places a nearby pair of handcuffs on what she believed to be the killer's feet, only to realize that she handcuffed Putman by mistake. Just as Jenny and Lars come out of hiding, the killer appears and Putman tells them to hide before being killed.

During a party in the nightclub, the killer then reveals the corpses of his previous victims to the guests, causing a panic. Juan returns to join Lars and Jenny, with the killer's machete in his hand. Penelope, Juan, Lars and Jenny find Sam's body in a mud bath. While they consider their next move, Sam leaps from the bath and snatches his machete from Lars, revealing himself as the killer. He grabs Lars before revealing his motive: Pete had intended to sell the island, but ultimately decided to give the island to Dave, who Sam assumed would mismanage the resort and destroy it, instead of him. Lars grabs the machete, allowing the others to escape. Jenny and Juan lock themselves in the nightclub. They see Sam drowning Penelope in a large tank. Juan smashes the tank and rescues Penelope. Sam prepares to kill them, but Lars appears and stabs Sam.

Sam pursues the four as they escape through the jungle. Cornered on a cliff, they jump to the water below. They find the resort's damaged boats, and try to cobble together enough working parts to leave the island. Sam appears and kills Juan, then attacks Jenny and Penelope. Lars breaks his vow of pacifism and overcomes Sam, and Sam is bisected by a rope attached to the power boat. Just as everything seems to settle down, Sam's upper half emerges and grabs Penelope, but Lars tosses him into the ocean, before they motor away. As they do so, Sam's lower half continues to pursue them.

Production

[edit]

Contrary to their previous project that had a roughly $3 million budget, Broken Lizard had an $8.5 million budget to work with on Club Dread.[citation needed] This budget was secured via Broken Lizard Industry, Cataland Films, Baja Studios, and was distributed by 20th Century Fox's Searchlight Pictures.[citation needed] The script was written by Broken Lizard collectively and would be directed by Jay Chandrasekar.[citation needed] While on set of a previous project Chandrasekar was referred to cinematographer Lawrence Sher by a make up artist who had worked with both men before.[5] The two would meet and get along leading to Broken lizard signing Sher on to be the cinematographer for Club Dread.[citation needed] Sher while not an official member of Broken Lizard would do other projects with the group including Dukes Of Hazards just a year later.[citation needed]

The film was shot in Mexico to substitute the plot setting of a private island off the coast of Costa Rica.[citation needed] Most of footage was captured in Jalisco, Mexico and the resort shots that play a key part in the film are shot at Hotel Cabo Blanco. This film would be Jay Chandrasekar's third directorial, behind Puddle Cruiser and Super Troopers.[citation needed] While having a significantly bigger budget than previous films, Broken Lizard still opted to take on extra on-set responsibilities including stunts.[citation needed] Other actors would go beyond the screen to help with the project such as Bill Paxton who is the credited writer[6] and performed all of the songs for his character Coconut Pete.

In 2017, Enjoy The Ride Records released "Coconut Pete - Take Another Hit"[7]

In an interview, Bill Paxton, who had read biographies about Jimmy Buffett prior to filming, took it upon himself to ask the filmmakers to screen the film to Buffett, who was so amused that he requested permission to sing some of the film's songs on one of his live tours.[8]

Critical reception

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 30% of 100 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 4.4/10. The website's consensus reads: "Comedy is too hit-or-miss in this slasher spoof.".[9] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 45 out of 100, based on 28 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. [10]

Dave Kehr of The New York Times wrote that "From Broken Lizard, the comedy troupe that delivered the low-budget sleeper Super Troopers in 2001, Club Dread is a disappointingly routine horror movie spoof that follows the well-worn path of the Scream and Scary Movie franchises".[11]

Critic Roger Ebert gave the film a rating of two-and-a-half out of 4 stars and wrote that "Whether it works or not is a little hard to say; like "Super Troopers" (2001), the previous film by the Broken Lizard comedy troupe, it has lovable performances, very big laughs, and then some down time while everybody (in the cast as well as the audience) waits to see what willhappen [sic] next".[12]

Alternate version

[edit]

On September 28, 2004, an unrated edition was released to DVD. This version of the film contains an additional 14 minutes of footage for a 118-minute running time. It features several extended scenes, and also restores a subplot involving two cops that was absent in the theatrical edition. Director Jay Chandrasekhar states in one of the disc's commentary tracks that the original R-rated version is still the director's cut.

The script for Club Dread was collaboratively written by the troupe (Chandrasekhar, Heffernan, Lemme, , and Stolhanske), drawing on the troupe's organic process where each member contributed specialized elements—such as Lemme's gross-out humor, Heffernan's narrative framing, Soter's quirky jokes, and Stolhanske's —while blending influences from slasher films like for its isolated resort setting and trope, contrasted with hedonistic paradise vibes reminiscent of films like The Beach.

Soundtrack

Album release

The soundtrack album Take Another Hit: The Best of Coconut Pete, released on vinyl in 2017 by Enjoy The Ride Records, compiles five original songs written by the comedy troupe and performed by in his role as the fictional calypso singer Coconut Pete from the film Club Dread. These tracks parody Jimmy Buffett's style, with representative examples including "Pina Coladaburg" and "She's a Comin', She's a Blowin'." The songs were recorded during the film's production in 2003. Paxton personally screened an early cut of Club Dread for , who enjoyed the parody so much that he sought and received permission to incorporate several Coconut Pete songs into his live performances. The album's release followed Paxton's death on February 25, 2017, with the vinyl issued on March 24, 2017, in limited-edition colored 7-inch EP formats, and a digital version released on October 31, 2019. As a compilation, the album focuses primarily on Coconut Pete's diegetic music, blending it with thematic elements from the film's tropical horror-comedy setting, though it excludes the broader original score by Nathan Barr and licensed reggae tracks used for party atmospheres in the movie, which were featured on the official 2004 soundtrack album Broken Lizard's Club Dread: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack To Die For (e.g., "Funky Kingston" by Toots & The Maytals). The initial pressing was limited to 500 copies across three color variants, appealing to vinyl collectors and fans, which helped drive demand and subsequent represses.

Reception

Critical response

Upon its release in 2004, Broken Lizard's Club Dread garnered mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, who often viewed it as a disappointing follow-up to the troupe's Super Troopers. On , the film has a 30% approval rating from 99 reviews, with an average score of 4.4/10. assigns it a score of 45 out of 100 based on 28 critics, reflecting "mixed or average" reception. Positive feedback centered on the Broken Lizard troupe's ensemble chemistry and Bill Paxton's affable comedic turn as the Jimmy Buffett-esque Coconut Pete. Roger Ebert gave the film 2.5 out of 4 stars, praising its "lovable performances" and "very big laughs" delivered through unapologetic goofiness. Entertainment Weekly highlighted Paxton's character as a highlight amid the "slack, salty, sporadically ingenious humor," noting a few "brilliantly staged" gags that captured the troupe's improvisational ethos. The A.V. Club called it "enjoyable (if a little uneven)" and commended the "highly capable" ensemble for producing "two genuinely funny movies in a row" with Super Troopers. Some reviewers favorably compared its slasher parody to Scary Movie, appreciating a subtler approach that avoided excessive crudeness while poking fun at genre tropes. Criticism frequently targeted the film's uneven pacing, derivative slasher gags, and underdeveloped script, which many felt failed to sustain laughs or tension. Ebert described significant "down time" between kills and accused the plot of being "recycled out of every other movie ever made about beach blanket bango." Variety dismissed it as a "slasher-thriller spoof filled with lame jokes, stock characters and T&A gags that are way past their expiration date." The New York Times noted that while some visual gags offered fleeting entertainment, the overall narrative lacked coherence, with direction that was "casual to the point of carelessness." Entertainment Weekly echoed this by deeming most humor "smug" and optional, resulting in a forgettable experience despite occasional sparks. These shortcomings contributed to unmet expectations for broader appeal beyond the troupe's cult following.

Box office and commercial performance

Club Dread grossed $3,035,688 in its opening weekend across 1,807 theaters, ultimately earning $5,001,708 domestically and $7,565,807 worldwide against an $8.6 million . The film underperformed theatrically relative to expectations for a wide-release , partly due to mixed critical reception at launch. Despite the initial disappointment, Club Dread achieved long-term profitability through robust performance following its September 2004 DVD release. The unrated extended edition found significant success on DVD, building an audience beyond theaters and contributing to the troupe's sustained career. Over the years, the film cultivated a dedicated , particularly among fans of slasher spoofs and Broken Lizard's irreverent humor. This status has been bolstered by special screenings at comedy events and ties to the group's reunions, enhancing its commercial legacy. Availability on streaming services like further amplified its reach in the , supporting ancillary revenue and the troupe's ongoing projects. In 2017, the release of the Coconut Pete – Take Another Hit soundtrack album by Enjoy The Ride Records reignited interest, capitalizing on Bill Paxton's fictional persona and appealing to nostalgic viewers. A deluxe 12" vinyl edition was re-released on November 14, 2025. Adjusted for , the film's domestic earnings equate to roughly $9.1 million in contemporary dollars, underscoring its modest but enduring commercial impact compared to similar spoofs.

Alternate versions

An unrated edition of Club Dread was released on DVD by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment on , 2004. This version runs 113 minutes, approximately 14 minutes longer than the 99-minute R-rated theatrical release.
