A spoiler-free review by Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast

This is one of those little ultra-indie movies using people's actual houses and backyards for sets. That means someone's neighbor is in this movie to play a bit part, and they can't act because they're too busy smiling about the fact they're filming a scene for a movie. So, go into this movie with that set firmly in your expectations.

That said, this was a fun watch! It's trying to be high-concept, and is endearing for the attempt. There's a cool paint monster that looks like it'd be a hit at an EDM concert. There's plenty of cigarette young people drinking to back yards in their 20s. Also, maybe something about computer programming and human psychology. Who can say?

The two main actors carry the film through perplexing scene transitions and loud soundtrack (I was impressed to hear my favorite Handsome Boy Modeling School track eating up budget in this flick). There are some enjoyable practical effects, some predictable plot twists, and just enough story motion to keep me from turning it off.

Overall, it's a fine movie to have on while writing or drawing. Don't pay too close attention and don't expect much and you won't be disappointed. I'm interested to see what this cast and crew does next!

A Spoiler-free Review by Loathsome Things: A Horror Movie Podcast

This looks like a silly video project some people put together as a fun activity to do together. It looks like they had fun. On that, it's a 10/10.

As a unit of entertainment content, it isn't worth the nearly 2 hours of run time, much less the ads to sit through getting to it.

It's also not really worth the, uh, dated subject matter the humor is derived from.

If your answer to "Hey, my friends and I made a movie 10 years ago, wanna watch it?" is "Hell, yes I do!", then this might be the kind of movie you'll enjoy. For everyone else, it's an easy pass.

A Spoiler-free Review

This skinemax-grade movie is about sexually-active young people losing their clothes while sealed in a house with a gun, an axe, and a role of duct tape being the only things to protect them from daddy's deadly vape cloud outside.

It's not good. It's not fun.

Well, actually, it is kind of fun.

Sometimes you'll forget why you weren't having a good time. Other times you'll remember why and come back around to having a bad time. But, then, something will happen and... am I having a good time? What's going on?!

It's silly. It's gross. It's gratuitous. It's cheesy. If you have an uncle no one likes visiting with, this might be one of his favorite new movies.

If you're looking for a 4-out-of-10-star skin and horror flick, this is going to be your jam!
