This type of movie has been done many times before and rarely succeeds, but this one was a hit for me!
Jessica Rothe's performance is what kept me interested... she nailed her character and was convincing and funny as well.
I don't want to give too much away, but the twists towards the end were a nice surprise and earned a few extra points from me.
It's classified as a Horror, Mystery, Thriller but it's also a comedy as I found myself laughing a bunch of times.
Certainly a must-see entertaining film produced and executed very well, much better than many other films in this genre.
It's a well deserved 9/10 from me.
