About
If you enjoy offbeat, darkly funny vintage horror-comedies with a scrappy, inane charm, this should hit the spot, especially if you liked A Bucket of Blood; Not for you if you want polished scares or modern humor.
Pros: dark, quirky humor; inventive killer-plant premise; brisk, punchy pace | Cons: slapstick feels dated; low-budget roughness; black-and-white may deter
