About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like 1980s horror with heavy metal attitude, underdog revenge, and campy supernatural fun in the spirit of Creepshow; Not for you if dated teen drama and cheesiness annoy you.

Pros: killer 80s metal vibe; fun supernatural premise; memorable Halloween energy | Cons: uneven second half; lead can grate; cheesy at times
