About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an ’80s teen revenge horror with a goofy, devilish hotline hook, some splatter, and wisecracks; Not for you if you need fast pacing, strong logic, or big scares like Shocker.
Pros: fun late-80s cheese; dark humor one-liners; a few creepy set pieces | Cons: slow build for many; uneven story focus; effects can look cheap
