You can read my review of the film here.
Pros
- The movie does hearken back to Kevin Smith's earlier work in many respects.
- Harley-Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp play off each other well. It makes for a great comedy dynamic, but also sells the idea that the two are close friends.
Cons
- Exaggerated Canadian accents and repeated use of the "social media profile introduction" become grating after a while.
- The silly tone undercuts any sense of tension. Fine for comedy, but a detriment to the "horror" aspect of a film billed as a "horror comedy"
Overall
This movie is silly and stupid. That said, I still found it entertaining. The jokes rely on goofiness and puns, but it worked for me. The movie knows what it is and never tries to pretend otherwise. This isn't a movie for everybody, but there is a niche viewership who will likely get a kick out of this.
