"Unplug your brains" slapstick comedy with a sprinkling of mystery & horror
21 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
A slapstick comedy wrapped around a "who done it?" murder mystery, with a few touches of slapstick horror.

**Note: This IS NOT a serious horror movie. It's 95% comedy, 5% horror.**

The two main characters Sam Richardson and Milana Vayntrub are very good actors and saved the movie from descending into complete mediocrity. Although most of the supporting cast do a good job too, often the slapstick acting gets a little unbearable.

The female car mechanic, played by Sarah Burns, just couldn't quite pull off slapstick very well and ends up looking unnatural and awkward. That kinda brought the whole production down a notch. Directing is pretty good though. Cinematography not too shabby. Storyline nothing special.

The final result comes across almost as if it was made for kids or perhaps more for teenagers. Imagine a murder mystery with a sort of Home Alone comedy vibe to it, with a very small amount of horror thrown in. That's what you'll get out of this one.
