7/10
Fun, nostalgic horror-comedy
2 October 2022
Let me first say I don't like horror movies. I also don't like scary movies. However I do like dark comedies and can usually tolerate horror comedies. After watching the trailer for this movie I figured I'd check it out because it had the 1980s setting, the actress from Eight Grade was in it, it didn't seem like it would be too scary for me, and it was free with my Prime Video subscription. I quite enjoyed it.

I like the friendship established between Abby and Gretchen and the premise of Abby doing everything to save her best friend. The scares weren't too "scary" which was just fine for me because I really don't enjoy scary movies. There were some pretty gross scenes but if you can handle the puking in Pitch Perfect you'll be fine here. The acting was decent. I like how they poke fun at Christianity with acts like the over-the-top Jesus praising Lemon Brothers.

Overall it was a fun movie. If you're into Stranger Things, Paper Girls, films from the 80s why not give it a try?
