Every opinion is best slasher ever or it sucked. need non fanboy review


Anyone just think it was just pretty good, or maybe kinda bad? I am thinking about watching it but all the opinions are so extreme. 'Top five ever' or 'It sucked' is ridiculous. Any honest adult opinions?

It's a good popcorn movie. All in fun. Don't get your expectations too high. It's lighthearted and the gory scenes were gory. It's just played for laughs and gore. It's not a life changing event and it's not bad. Something fun for a Halloween party. That's all. I had fun.

Whatever just happen to taking a chance on watching a movie? Or do people need approve now for everything? That's one of the things that's bringing this new generation to hell. I mean you watch a movie for 90 minutes, big whoop. It's not like your life or time is so precious you can only spend it on certain things.

I completely agree. I used to work at Blockbuster and would rent abstract movies all the time. Most were pretty bad or very average, but some were actually great movies that you would never even think about renting. Even today I'll go in there, pick a random movie off the new release shelf, and watch it without hearing a word about it.

I wouldn't say best slasher ever, but it was definitely entertaining and I wasn't bored while watching it. The comedy aspect was occasionally funny, but sometimes it seemed poorly written and a generally annoying.

It's pretty much just a gore film but I'd recommend it.
