So hilarious of a horror comedy that make fun of Black characters which is well delivered by a really string cast that it a fun bloody time.

Great anti-monolithic characters. Over-explains some themes, but is smart in the way it symbolizes others. I laughed out loud a lot!

Neither funny nor scary. Sort of blacksploitation movie for woke people

Forcefully shoving jokes that aren’t that funny down your throat. The audience that it’s meant for isn’t going to appreciate this

Really enjoyable comedy slasher. I was chuckling to full-on gut laughing the whole movie. Cast has fantastic chemistry.

Very funny take on the horror movie genre when all the characters are Black. They say everything you want to yell at the screen!

When the humor hits, it totally hits. Takes big swings and connects on enough of them to make this a recommendable horror comedy.
