Is it indented to be a comedy? A surreal david lynch / kids in the hall skit? Tonally this thing is an absolute mess. Unlikeable characters and ham fisted overacting. Not suspenseful in the slightest, not particularly dramatic. Ben foster is usually great but here he plays it up like a high school melodrama. Weird choices abound.

Not sure what was the intended outcome, but this thing is void of any sensible entertainment purpose.

163 characters left? Ok. Nothing more to say or see here. An unfunny comedy, a drama-less drama, a suspense without a hint of suspense. No real plot now that i think of it.

This is really bad. Really really bad. The acting is terrible, the direction is poor; the writing as stale. Everything feels like trying too hard to capture a time and place- albeit inaccurately. Not to mention the god awful digital blood / cgi effects. Minimal bonus star for the under-used ben mendelshon, but he can't save this amateurish mess. I'm not sure how or why this came about after the filmmakers big break in the marvel universe, maybe they were attempting to get back to some roots? Unsure of what those roots may be. This is troma / student level nonsense- not tongue in cheek enough to be fun, not competent enough to be interesting.
