About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a campy, gory slasher with nonstop medical one-liners and a wisecracking killer, in the vein of Popcorn or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2; Not for you if you want serious, grounded horror or subtle humor.
Pros: darkly funny slasher vibe; creative medical-themed kills; brisk, entertaining pace | Cons: cheesy puns overload; predictable story beats; uneven acting and effects
