This movie was a waste of time. I had to fast-forward watch it. Despite enjoying Alex Winter in a ton of grotesque prosthetics, this movie had nothing to offer:
-No character development -No likeable characters -No great music (which was supposed to be the whole point) -No interesting plot points -No consistent logic (Were they ghosts or not? Some people could see them; some couldn't.)
Mostly, I didn't understand how this was stretched to a full-length feature. It had 30 minutes of actual content - tops. It would have made a passable Creepshow episode at best.
To be fair, the scene with Kumail Nanjiani's cameo was hilarious. But it's the only part I enjoyed.
I didn't turn it off. So, maybe it's not a total 1-star dumpster fire, but I needed to do something to offset all these fake 7s.

Comedy? Where exactly is the comedy? There is not one single funny moment in this movie except maybe the scene at the smelting plant and that was only mildly funny.
I don't think you could be high enough to ever find this funny. I don't know what anybody giving it more than a four or five star review is talking about. They must have seen a different movie.
Jonah Hill is obnoxious in every thing I've ever seen him. He must be paying people to hire him.
I feel like I lost a significant amount of brain cells trying to watch this piece of garbage and I definitely wasted time that I can't get back.

I went into "Destroy All Neighbors" eager a Shudder soon to be hidden gem horror on the level of "Onyx The Fortuitous And The Talisman Of Soul" or "Studio 666". The premise - a struggling musician and his homicidal neighbor - held the promise of dark comedic genius. But by the 20-minute mark, I felt like I was being force-fed lukewarm gruel with a rusty spoon.
The attempt at surreal humor felt like a fever dream dreamt by someone who'd never actually had a fever dream and the special effects, the supposed saving grace of low-budget horror comedies, were equally uninspired.
30 minutes in, I could no longer subject myself to abusing myself by continuing to watch this train wreck of a film.
