Do NOT believe the hype. It's a creative and funny movie, yes, but it isn't a horror movie. [NO SPOILERS] The first thirty had me thinking "This is garbage, why am I watching this?" After that, there is a shift in the narrative that makes the movie more entertaining. The problem is that this "shift" is away from any semblance of horror or tension and into straight comedy. No, not horror-comedy. Just comedy ABOUT horror. That's all I can say without spoiling it. So I guess it belongs here on Shudder but if you're wanting to watch something akin to Tucker and Dale vs. Evil then keep on scrolling. This ain't it.
Very creative and unique. I remember noticing things that were off, and then they were explained. That’s all I can say. Go in with no knowledge of it for a fun ride!
Absolute Perfection! It's funny reading the reviews saying they found it cheesy and boring as they clearly didn't make it very far in.
I’ve wanted to watch this one for a while because I heard so many good things about it I tried watching once long ago but only watched about 18 minutes in and stopped a couple years have passed and I’m so glad I watched it fully it’s such a great fun watch 8. 3/10
Top film. Great tone to it. I was throughly entertained.
