There are a lot of lazy reviews on here saying this movie was predictable and contained loads of horror tropes which is kind of the point, it was a send up of other movies but that isn't the problem with the movie. It's just not very good. It's a shame as I expected more from Tim Story who has directed some decent stuf over his career. This movie looks very low budget and it doesn't really know what it wants to be. It's a slasher movie from a black perspective which is a great hook but its also a comedy and it does neither very well. The jokes are bad, bordering on slap stick and any of the well written gags were shown in the trailer so you are left with barrel scrapings. The protagonist isn't scary partly due to the humour and you won't care about any of the characters. This should have been played straight as a horror such a scream and taking notes from something like Jordan Peel's Us but instead it comes across like a poor man's Scary Movie. I had been looking forward to this since I saw the trailer but I spent the majority of the screening looking at my watch and contemplating leaving as it was very boring.
If you are desperate to see this I'd save your money and wait for it to appear on a streaming site and even then only give it your time if you have absolutely nothing else on your watchlist.
