Purely Joyful Movie!

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This retro throwback horror film is a nod to horror films past, much in the way Scream was in the 90s. This one takes it even farther in that the characters are transported to the set of a 1980s horror movie and they are stuck there.... This of course relates to a dramatic character arc for the main character who's movie played a part in this very film. So there's a pretty well-done mother/daughter element to the story. This movie has humor, including parody-type humor, and it has scares but not excessive gore. It really is an homage to the slasher genre. It feels like Friday the 13th meets Ernest Goes to Camp. Original and fresh and fun.

Liked it. funny, colorful and kept my attention. Intrigued by the plot how they went into another world. There is always killing i can count on that. The killing didn't gross me out thats why i dont watch movies like SAW or bloody gory movies this was

Trying to get over her mothers' death, a teen and her friends agree to attend a screening of her old horror film at a local retrospective only to become trapped within the film itself and must put their knowledge of the film and the genre to get them through the movie and leave alive.For the most part this here was a highly enjoyable and engaging throwback to the slasher films of the past. The fact that this one really manages to nail the genre theme and feel of the camp-set slasher film of the time-period is it's greatest plus here, effectively capturing that atmosphere to it's fullest. The few early parts of the film before their entrance set this in motion rather well by maintaining that tone and feel so that when it turns into the slasher film angle with them involved there's quite a lot more fun to come here. The scenes of them finding the different participants in the camp out in the forest where they witness the first killer ambush and begin interacting with the results gives this a pretty enjoyable expectation for what's to come, and with them being inducted into the group gives this the greatest set-up here for the film's great battles with the killer. Those are far more enjoyable action-packed moments here with the big trap set against him with the different traps set up in the main hall and how he gets past them leading to a set of battles against the killer throughout the cabin as the remaining survivors begin fighting back against the killer in the backroom as well as the upper floors as they bring their traps into full use letting the action go throughout into the last big confrontation at the house that really plays into the emotional trauma storyline that's been building throughout here and especially in the last section. That as well is another big deal in the fact that there's a great deal of work done here to detail that part of story and it comes off far better than expected here without it being detrimental to the pacing which really had the potential to be an issue and really adds a nice depth to this one. With all these added together to the rather nice comedy throughout here, there's quite a lot to like here though there's still a few flaws which does hold this back. The main issue with this one is the fact that it really holds itself back from what it really could've been if only it would've been more willing devote to the comedy potential of it's central premise. The idea of being aware of a movie and then being forced to guide the cast through like what's happening here could've provided this one with a spectacular storyline, but far too much of this one is spent on the mother/daughter relationship, which even though it's great stuff there's a stumbling with the slasher antics as there's very little gore and absolutely no nudity which these usually provide. As well, there's a rather simplistic and ludicrous manner of entering the movie-within-the-movie as the theater accident is way too contrived and comes off without any real explanation for what's going on, leaving it with very little to like about it. Otherwise, this one really had a lot to like.Rated PG-13: Violence, Language, drug use and sexual references.

I went to watch this movie expecting very little, but not long after it started i could already see this wasn't going to be an ordinary slasher movie by any means! The movie transitions between comedy, drama and even action quite seamlessly, though make no mistake, this is most definitely a comedy! It also constantly avoids and follows several clichés, i didn't expect it to work so well but it did! The soundtrack is great and apart from a few things that could've been done a bit better there really wasn't much for me to complain here!It would be great if there was a sequel though, sadly, i doubt it, i can only hope!
