The main problem with this movie is that it's essentially all reference-based comedy in which you're meant to go "Oh, I remember that," as the film is mostly parodying shots from horror classics. The problem is it's too low effort to be effective parody rather than feeling like a bad knockoff, and the titular pun only goes so far on its own as a joke. The premise seems very funny, but unfortunately the joke doesn't last longer than a few minutes. It doesn't really matter what your political views are going into this film as it's fully aware of how stupid it is and doesn't hesitate to try to offend both sides. Another problem is that the film borrows way too heavily from Halloween to the point where it's simply a Halloween parody with a few references to other horror films here and there, including the more recent It Follows, I believe. If you turn your brain off entirely for this one, it can be entertaining, but mostly it's a bit too one-dimensional to be a substantial comedy, and isn't creative enough to live up to its perfect pun of a title and timely subject matter.
