I honestly didn't expect much from this movie but I was bored and couldn't find anything else to watch so, here we are. The characters were played as stereotypes, which was perfect and the actors were really good at portraying them. The premise of the movie was inventive and the writing was good. I laughed a lot and jumped a couple of times. If you're looking for a lot of jump scares or things of that nature, this isn't your movie. If you want some laughs and a humorous send up of horror movies, this is a must see. I probably rated it a star or 2 higher than I should have but I based the rating on what I expected and what I got from the movie. Oh, and the ending of the movie is really awesome. A nice little twist.

If you accept this movie for what it is...an action/thriller...it is pretty awesome. It's not trying to be Macbeth...it's trying to entertain and I think that it succeeded wonderfully at that. There is action, humor and a great family dynamic and I think that the actors did a great job in their roles. I really enjoyed it. And it stars Jason Momoa, so, yeah.

I love the intensity and the twisting and turning of the storytelling. I love how they withhold information and then take us back in time to show the backstories of the characters. It definitely has a Tarantino feel...and I mean that in a very good way. The tension, the violence, the setting and the dialogue are so old school. The cast is excellent and the characters that they portray are captivating and complex. And Miles is a revelation! It definitely deserves a 10 so don't pay attention to the people that gave it the lower ratings. Watch it!! You will not be disappointed.
