Bizarre Teen Comedy-Horror Hybrid
Unknown - wrote on 06/09/16
Very inventive novel idea turns into a so-so teen comedy. The usual trappings of high school movies force the characters into cliched areas. It is nice to see focus on the kids, but when your story embodies the same motif of high schoolers maturing in relationships (romantic and friendly) it drags down the fun. We've seen this same scenario of a guy befriending the weirdo and chasing after a hot girl only to find the better girl in front of him. Nothing new is added to this tired formula. The only new addition is the overall creative plot surrounding them. Throwing vampires, zombies, and aliens all in the same movie turned out to be an effortless mashup. Those elements breathe easy together in a straight up comedic tone. The comedy itself is pretty hit-or-miss. I chuckled often enough. The movie gets by on it's premise, able cast, and handful of entertaining moments.
