An enjoyable if extremely slick modern slasher movie from director Eli Roth that harks back to the eighties slasher cycle with it's outrageous violence. But a day on from watching it the characters are utterly forgettable - other than the masked killer - and the only things that genuinely linger in the memory are the crazy opening riot and one or two kill sequences.



Yet for all it's nicely executed gore it lacks the exploitative elements of the films it would love to be lumped in with and it's darkly comic streak of black humour felt more like a cinematic cousin of 2017's Secret Santa than classic slasher fayre like My Bloody Valentine and Rosemary's Killer and despite thoroughly enjoying the experience it had the cinematic nutritional value of a Big Mac.
Interesting. I don't care much for McDonalds. In fact breakfast is the only thing i an especially fond of, and even then it has to be a sausage and egg mcmuffin.
That said I can't count how many times I've enjoyed a BigMac.
