    Not terrible but it could have been a lot better
    Who doesn't love a good prank gone wrong video? Where a pranker is acting like a douchebag and finally gets what's coming for them?

    And here we have in a sense the movie version of just that (except more extreme of course as it is a horror) so this should technically be right up my alley.

    But it just didn't quite hit the right mark.

    First of all it's a little bit too silly at times, especially in the first half, where as I think it would have worked much better if they took a more serious approach.

    Don't get me wrong I don't mind a good horror-comedy, but if the comedy is not funny (as in the case of this) then I prefer it to do more of the former than of the lesser.

    Especially since the actual scenes of horror were fairly well- orchestrated and it had some cool twists.

    The acting could have been a bit better as well, but partly of that could be because of the direction.

    Had a look at the directors' resumes and it turns out that they directed '100 Bloody Acres (2012)' which I actually thought was stellar, and that was a horror-comedy as well... So it is a genre that they can do well in, in this it didn't quite come together though for some reason.
