I had never heard about the 2023 movie "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" prior to sitting down to watch it here in 2025. And had I known it was a musical, I would not have opted to watch it. Regardless, I sat down to watch it, expecting it to be a horror comedy.
"Nerdy Prudes Must Die" failed to entertain me, and I found it amazingly difficult to get submerged into the narrative, as it was just like watching a theater play. Everything happened on the one and only same screen. Yeah, that didn't really appeal to me. Sure, I do like some musicals, such as "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Grease", but they were made like proper movies, not like a theater show. Writers Matt Lang and Nick Lang didn't entertain me with this 2023 production.
Needless to say that I was not familiar with a single performer on the cast list. The performances were fair enough, despite the fact that the script failed to capture my interest.
This was not my cup of tea, and I ended up giving up on "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" 25 minutes into the ordeal. By then I was just bored senseless. And I am never returning to finish watching this, as 25 minutes out of 146 minutes was more than enough torture to send me spiraling into boredom.
My rating of directors Nick Lang and Curt Mega's 2023 musical "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
