OK, I'm going to give this the highest possible rating, not because it's Chinatown, but because it's fun.
The acting is sort of meh, it's good enough to pass and I think some of it is on the director, but the characters are fun. They are unique, they are entertaining and that goes even if the delivery is sort of meh.
There are enough hints along the way to unfortunately que you into what is coming, and that works both to soften the blow of the horrors to come and to let you in on what is coming next and that sort of take you out of the horror aspect of all of this.
But again, that doesn't matter so much as all of this is pretty entertaining. I watched this morning when I was calling sick and so congested I could hardly breathe, it was fun enough to keep my mind off things, and simple enough that I could watch it with a fever and still follow.
It's not a great flick, it's not Citizen Kane, but it's a fun and entertaining time killer. It requires little thought and it pays off where it counts.
