Solid funny B horror movie that moves along at a good pace and keeps you interested the entire time.

I've never seen Chris Parnell in a movie before, so that was interesting...

This movie had some fantastic ideas and creativity, yet it was unorganized and poorly written. There were too many characters for the story it was trying to tell in 82 minutes. It was poorly paced and felt like it should have taken some more times with certain characters.

The dialogue also was pretty bad at times with some dumb jokes that just don't work for me. I can't even remember any quotes besides "Wait, wait. So you're telling me that my pizza place is built on a gateway to hell?"

Besides all the flaws in this film, I can still say I enjoyed it. You can tell it had a creative idea and Austin Vesely seemed very passionate about this project. I would recommend if you're in a mood to watch an 80s like B movie. I just wished this film was better because I love the idea and the world. It could have been a great film.

(Also want to add that I am happy I didn't drive to Milwaukee to see this film in a theater on September 10th. I almost did that.)

This is a comedy horror somewhat in the same vein as Buffy or Ghosted but on a much lower budget. The plot is concerned with a series of murders of pizza delivery drivers, a rogue werewolf and a coven of witches. What will draw people to this movie is the cast, which includes quite a few talented actors. However overall this is a disappointing movie experience. The main issues are that this is simply not a well made movie, it doesn't hold your attention and despite some of the talent involved, they simply cant turn this into a satisfying experience as the script and production are so poor. I don't have an issue with low budget movies, just low budget movies which fail to entertain. Many of the flaws with the movie could have been forgiven if it was actually funny, but the comedy attempts fall flat. If you fancy some pizza delivery comedy try Fat Pizza instead which was also low budget but has a much healthier topping of full fat comedy.

I'm a fan of the occasional schlocky B-movie, provided it's fun/funny, doesn't matter if it's intentional or unintentional. I knew this movie wasn't gonna be scary, but I did expect to get some laughs out of it, which I unfortunately didn't. It's a mercifully short movie at 82 mins, and yet it felt longer than its runtime.

The cast had some promising names, most of whom were wasted. Zazie Beetz is technically the lead in the movie, but she was criminally under-utilized. Hannibal Buress and the Stranger Things guy barely appeared in the movie. Chris Parnell tried a little. Chance cannot act at all. However, Paul Scheer gave the best performance in the movie, wish the movie had more of him.

I did like the setting of the movie though. A small town with humans coexisting with ghosts as an actual, official part of its population, people going around driving cars and wearing clothes from the 80s but using some technology (like laptops) from the present. It's a shame though, they could've done more with this setting and made a genuinely exciting and fun movie.

Paul Scheer's performance and the movie's setting were mostly the only things I enjoyed about the movie, and they're the reason I'm even giving it a 4/10.

The movie started strong with good music and cinematography and jokes that were funny and explained the world they live pretty well, chance acting was just bad and feel the movie could have been better. The last half really felt like a B horror movie and loses fuel in the comedy which is kinda expected. Don't go into this thinking it's an instant classic. But 100% worth a watch if you like B horror comedies
