Club Dread, also known as Broken Lizard's Club Dread, is a 2004 comedy/horror film written by the comedy group Broken Lizard, who also created Super Troopers
. It is directed by Jay Chandrasekhar, one of the group members.

Plot summary

Coconut Pete (played by Paxton) is a has-been rock star who runs a non-stop party on his own private island (probably a parody of Sammy Hagar's club/bar in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Cabo Wabo, but it's probably more of a Jimmy Buffett parody, as many of the selected songs in the movie are similar to those of Buffett; more evident is the "Margaritaville scene"). Dead bodies begin to turn up, and the staff try to solve the murder mystery without any of the guests learning of the murderer. The staff also have to try to avoid becoming the next victim, as the killer can only be one of them.

Alternate Version

In 2005 an unrated edition was released to DVD. This version of the film contains an additional 15 minutes of footage for a 118-minute running time. It features several extended scenes, and also restores a subplot involving two cops (played by Paco Mauri and Tony Amendola
) 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.
