It was really brutal and really dumb. It was a lot like a cheesy '80s slasher and I loved it. Don't take it as seriously as it sometimes takes itself and you will have a great time, especially in a crowded theater.

I know it's supposed to be sleazy, I know it's supposed to be shocking and disgusting, and I really do love that stuff, but my god there is way too much rape in this movie. I like the melting, it's mostly entertaining, it's bizarre and disgusting in a good way until all the rape stuff. And as if a woman getting gang raped by homeless people isn't bad enough, apparently it brought back bad memories for the actress, which adds another level of nasty and screwed up. You don't need rape to make a movie disgusting. I like movies that are disgusting. But to me, it's not fun disgusting. It's just unpleasant.

This movie is about as much fun as the premise promises. Vince Vaughn's performance, despite maybe mimicking a stereotypical teenage girl rather than specifically Kathryn Newton (who's also great), is excellent. The gore is also outstanding if you're into that, every death is unique and very bloody. The only problem is that there are some parts of the movie that are so terrible I can't believe they were written by the same people. I think they stand out as being bad because the rest of the movie is so good, but there were moments that were so hammy and cringe inducing that I actually had to look away because I couldn't take it. It's very much a matter of personal preference, and it probably won't affect many other people the same way, but there was something about the distilled corniness of some scenes that just broke something in me, and I'm not sure why. Other than that, this is thoroughly entertaining and fun movie and it's definitely worth watching.
