About
If you enjoy campy, body-count slashers with a whodunit hook and plenty of outrageous moments, this could be a fun pick; Not for you if you want serious scares, strong characters, or minimal nudity like Ghost Story.
Pros: pulpy slasher fun; mystery angle; dark humor | Cons: thin character depth; sleazy tone; uneven suspense
