    Hillariously Cheesy Slasher Comedy

    This is exactly what a good Halloween prank should look like. A little bit of gore, a little bit of T&A, outrageously stereotypical high school kids, and nothing in the way of a plot to worry about.

    That's not to say it's not extremely successful at what it aspires to: good, silly fun for Halloween.

    Completely self-aware of all the slasher films it mimics, and more than able to mine the comedy in those memes, this film is just a hoot. Not anywhere near as serious as the Scream franchise tries to be with the horror/slasher genre, this film takes the opposite tact: remember that these films are for fun and a bit of escapism.

    A soft PG-13 would be the MPAA rating for this if it wasn't Netflix, and it's appropriate for your tweens. But if you're in your 30s or 40s, it's gonna be a lot more enjoyable, since you know and recognize all the tropes at play, but know that the filmmakers know and are just letting you have fun watching them play out.

    I hope the three leads get more good work out of this, because they all do a fabulous job with the material - there's not a lot to work with, but each of the three (the babysitter, boy kid, and his bestie girl) give you a good show and don't fall into the trap that this film could easily have done: there's not a scenery chewer among them, and they all do a great job of keeping their eye on the prize: a silly, fun, bit nostalgic, Halloween slasher.

    It knows exactly what it is.

    If anyone watched the trailers. They will know not to expect anything. I didn't expect a good film and I was pleasantly surprised with this one.

    It knows exactly what it is. A cheesy B rated movie. It plays to that.

    I expected utter crap, but got B movie cheese gold. I enjoyed the hell of out is this one. It makes no logical sense at all but it's funny and enjoyable.

    Go in to expect cheese and you will love it.

    Surprising!

    Please don't watch the trailer before. The trailer reveals almost everything. The movie is quite surprising. It surprised a hell out of me. I don't watch the movie after the trailer. It's the plot, cast, ratings and no spoiler reviews that makes me select a movie. A movie you won't expect much from, but still delivers to satisfy the shit out of you! Damn, this one has it. It's little hilarious, not much. Yes, it's adult comedy. It's a surprisingly awesome movie, should definitely try once a watch. It's an above average movie of the genre - The genre which is horror, but doesn't have anything that could scare apart from the BGM. Yes, it falls in that category of hundreds of movies. Only the BGM is scary. 9 out of 10 for the direction. I couldn't imagine anything better for this story.

    I didn't expect that

    Took me forever to finally sit down and give this movie a shot. Maybe because Bella Thorne is on the cover. I just can't take her serious. That being said, she was surprisingly really funny in this. This movie was actually pretty good. I mean the plot was fairly corny, but the comedy and kill scenes made up for it. The cast was great and the writing had me cracking up. I'm looking forward to part 2. Give it a shot. 7 stars

    Totally under-rated

    In a nutshell, the following: 1. Builds the suspense well 2. When the fun starts, its unrelenting, fast paced and actually thought provoking (except for the shirtless guy) 3. What a great ending, with the last line uttered like it was something out of an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie

    Totally cool and worth the watch. Just don't be squeamish as it gets really gross at points, hehe.

    WATCH IT NOW TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!
