Horror is currently THE premiere genre for originality - and as ridiculous as this is, it's in that ballpark.
Infinitely better than most of the horror releases this century so far, but within the last 5-10 years we've been enjoying a particular purple patch in the genre, especially in contrast to all the comic book remakes dominating cineplex's.
Arguably, within this renaissance - this is one of the weaker theatrical offerings (it doesn't hold a light to Midsommar or Late Night With The Devil), and it's more funny/ridiculous than not - but properly funny, and properly gloriously ridiculous.
Theo James further cementing his spot as the best British actor around right now - he's so perfect for Bond but as a fan of his staggering range, I kinda hope he gives it a miss and keeps delivering us treats like this.
Osgood Perkins is a real dark horse - from legally blonde to two horror bangers in under a year. What a talent. Could maybe use a collaborator to expand on the premises, though.
