About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a go-for-broke 90s stoner horror comedy with plenty of frantic, messy thrills and laughs, and a nonstop chaotic pace; Not for you if you’re expecting subtle scares, a deep plot, or if you dislike pot-focused humor—try Fright Night Part 2 or My Name Is Bruce instead.
Pros: high-energy horror comedy; creative possessed-hand chaos; fun 90s vibe | Cons: heavy weed-focus; juvenile humor; plenty of gore
