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.

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

This film feels fun in the beginning if you're a fan of Welcome to Night Vale and just binge watched the first season of Stranger Things and need something to fill the gaping hole season two couldn't fill. Unfortunately by the end you'll feel just as unfulfilled as when you started. It's a bummer because it has some of my favorites in it's cast: Paul Scheer, Chris Parnell, and a cameo by Hannibal Buress. As well as rising stars Zazie Beetz, Chance the Rapper, Rae Gray, and Joe Keery (who are adorable). It did have enough 80's synth throwback to satiate a very basic lizard brain part of my soul. Visually it was ok, there were a lot of great color themes that would have been cool if they carried into the rest of the film. I was pretty bummed and confused the ghosts didn't have any level of opacity/special effects to them. I feel like we're so far past the bad theater makeup for arts sake. I have to agree there wasn't any real humor or scares which made for a really flat film. It had so much potential and some really great ingredients but just never made it above basic unfortunately. I definitely wouldn't not recommend this film. But would advise to set the tone with a Digiorno pizza and eat some cannabis food before watching.

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.)
