The Banana Splits Movie

Beloved late '60 kids TV show characters licensed and made into a horror movie, with the conceit that their show is still in production and they're played by robots, which of course go haywire and start killing people, because, movie.

Surprisingly, it's not completely, completely terrible. Before people started realizing some people would watch these just for the irony alone—see "Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey" (which I've seen but apparently didn't review, I should have, to warn people away)—so they didn't have to aim any higher, I guess this, being the first of these, they must've thought they might have to put a little effort into it. So, actually, while it's basically trash, it's not as bad as you might imagine, it's faintly entertaining. In a couple of scenes it seemed almost like they might actually be trying to make a good movie.
