As someone who loves edgy shows and designs, I really had high hopes for this show. I mean, it really ticked all of the boxes for me! And... Then the racism, homophobia, and transphobia just proved too much for me to work past. And I mean, it's not just demonstrations of homophobia in Hell. If it were that, I'd be fine with it! But the designs and mannerisms of a couple of characters were very obviously steeped in prejudice from VivziePop. Having a transphobic caracature and a latina lesbian with anger issues as two main characters ain't the best way to draw in a crowd. Again, if the characters themselves displayed these prejudices, it MIGHT be more acceptable, considering that they're in Hell. And I get that! But these designs were very obviously steeped in prejudice from the creator, and that alone is just too much to work past.
I was expecting a lot from this movie, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver. It honestly just seemed like the director was projecting his poor experiences with highschool onto this movie. I mean, the protagonist was absolutely infuriating: I've never disliked a main character as much as this guy. He just seems really arrogant. Not to mention, it kind of seems like women were only in the film to be demonized (pun intended) or sexualized. The plot progression is super jumpy, out-of-place, and slow. The only real scares happen at the beginning and the end. The middle is just the main characters weird love life and peeping on the neighbors having sex. The only reason I gave this movie any stars at all was because of the S-tier makeup and SFX. Honestly, those parts were incredible! It's just... Horror was a very small part of the film. Other than that... Yeah, it's just a weird romance movie. Anyways, this movie is basically "Randomly Generated White Man Only Cares For Women He Finds Attractive And Kills The Ones He Doesn't."
This was a great movie, don't get me wrong. Sophia Lillis was an absolutely incredible actor here, and I thought this was a cool take on Hansel and Gretel. But... some scenes could have used more development. It was pretty good nonetheless!
