To quote the movie: “Storytime is over, I’m bored”

Okay, I was not really bored, but I was slightly frustrated. I wish they just made it a comedy horror - it had so many elements working for it, if they leaned a little bit more into the silliness and exaggeration of that situation.

The movie is way too goofy to be a serious psychological horror, but also not goofy enough to be a comedy. It dances between two completely different atmospheres not knowing what it should be. Personally, I loved the scenes that had these tiny jokes or just borderline acid delivery. I did laugh a few times. Rose was extremely likeable - fun, with realistic reactions, solid survival instincts.

The plot is extremely simple and obvious after 30 minutes of watching. There is no real big twist, since it’s not hard to guess who the villain is from the start. But it is a fun and easy watch. I did find one scene quite… unnecessary, but I am also not surprised it exists.

For the production, I was actually quite impressed with the practical effects of the injuries and blood. I also loved how cheap and childish the costume of the villain was - it made sense for that character.

Was this some groundbreaking cinematic experience? No. Did I have fun? Hell yeah. This is a good movie for a silly group watch fir sure.
