Underrated and destined to be a cult calssic....agree?


I really admired this film. I enjoyed it's uber randomness and messy plotting (imagine a script gone ADHD). You can see that the writer is such a fan of horror movies (or any movies at that) and 90s references. I really loved it and i think it should be appreciated more. Does anyone here love this film as much as i do? :))

I've just watch it in Cinemax. More a comedy than horror. Right about its randomness :D Entertaiment and funny but only interesting for teen or young ppl (<30 or so), IMO. Older may feel it too random and make no sense all along the screen time.

I'm 44 and I loved it!

So long and thanks for all the fish!

It's so random, but everything comes together wonderfully. It's greatly underrated and it is a dang shame.

I think it will become a cult classic, for sure.

I agree I loved everything about it, especially the 90's music!

Agree 100%

I agree with you, but I also think the user who said it is mostly aimed at teens or young adults could be right.
Well, who cares: for now, I loved it!

Boycott movies that involve real animal violence! (and their directors too)

My wife and I are in our mid 40s, and we both loved it. We found it on Netflix and started watching without knowing anything about it. It can be VERY hard to follow at times, and even then there are parts that just seem absurd. The convoluted plot, fast-paced (and sometimes difficult to understand) dialogue, and blink-and-you'll-miss-a-plot-point editing will turn off a lot of people. But if you manage to stay focused and pick up on the details, it's a great ride of a film. It's like a bizarre mashup of Better Off Dead, Breakfast Club, and Scream, with a dash of Donnie Darko thrown in for flavor.
