Final Thoughts

This is and "Indy" horror comedy that has received a good deal of coverage among horror publications and websites, but, really, it has little to no horror elements in it. I personally wouldn't consider it part of the genre, and feel the coverage undeserved. Its a straight comedy and not a particularly funny one at that. It does tell a decent story and has strong acting, but overall it was a disappointment. It was still worth the viewing, but there are several better ways to spend your time, and many better true indy horror comedy's.
