I didn't hate this at all, but I don't get the overwhelming love for it. Is it's scary? No. Is it laugh out loud funny? No. But it's "fun".
It could easily be a TV show on something like CW. It's that kinda goofyness...not bad...but hard to see it as much of anything with substance.
The humor is very slap stick, "he's right behind me isn't he?" style. It's a bit too silly though.
It's VERY rare you'll find a HORROR/COMEDY that really truly nails it, such as Evil Dead2 or Tucker & Dale Vs Evil...and sadly, this film will be lost among the 50+ mid budget horror comedies every year. It'll be in the $1 bin within a few years.
However, that doesn't make it bad. It does it's job JUUUUST well enough to pass. The acting is not very good to be honest, but it JUST keeps above the cringe factor. So I'd give the acting a C+ the story is as basic as it gets, any 7th grader could write it...but again...it's not trying to take itself seriously.
Want a feel good, not very scary, good time killer horror comedy? This should work just fine.

Obviously a lot of friends of the people who made this film rated it ......there is no way this movie gets a 10...... IMPOSSIBLE!! Has nothing that deserves a 10.... nothing!! The dialogue is ok, the acting below average and there was no cinematography to rate it's all filmed in a car and not filmed that well. A couple of ok jokes but it's a home made camcorder movie with amateur actors.
Its all about the dialogue. Well written, decent plot about an amateur comedian who "ubers" at night. Picks up a demon hunter and the quest begins. Casey Dillard wrote this and was the main actress. I will look for more of her work in the future. The reviews are a mixed bag on here. If you like entertaining campy movies you'll enjoy. If you want to watch blood and guts, boobs and buns, depravity minded comedy you'll be disappointed and should consider therapy.
This is another of the independent "gems", being upvoted by the "family and friends". Don't bother watching, this is an amateurish attempt at filmmaking. Acting is the least objectionable part of it, and it's not that good, so you can appreciate how fares the rest.
Emerson (Casey Dillard) is a stand up comic who drives for Uber in a borrowed car. One crazy night, she picks up a strange man named Roger (Richard Speight, Independence Day/Band of Brothers). Soon, Emerson finds out more about the crazy man's mission and can't help but do her best to help. From there, the insanity begins...
A truly unique gem of a film, it clocks in as a brisk and perfectly timed 89 minutes. While I wouldn't mind spending more time with some of the characters here, it feels like the story is told well in its runtime. If any longer, the film could suffer from having large lulls or the dreaded middle third drag. Instead, it flows well from start to finish.
While clearly made on a modest budget, the film looks pretty damn good. The lighting works, the shots are framed well, and the films simply looks and feels crisp. Indie films with a great look to them always feel impressive, especially when they - like this one - actually look better than many more expensive studio films.
While Speight may be the only super recognizable face, the cast is fantastic, with he and Dillard really shining at the forefront. When you combine their performances with a strong script, great pacing, and that fantastic look of the scenes, you get a truly unique and worthwhile experience. Genre film fans will truly enjoy this one. Besides, in what other film will you ever get the chance to encounter a recurring joke about a "turd spoon"?
