User Reviews

At first, I thought the movie would go the way of "hobo with a Shotgun" and forget to develop character... and I was wrong. The character of this film works well. The camera work was outstanding. Usually I don't care about the camera work, but this movie stood out. It made the film really cool. The lighting and the colors really did justice to the final project. The story was fun, the characters were relatable, and the humor hit every beat. If you're a fan of "Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil," this movie will be perfect for you. The story is that the daughter of a woman who starred in an 80's horror film goes to a showing of the movie with her friends. A fire breaks out and they escape... into the film. There they meet the 80's stereotypes and now they must figure out how to survive. It's a fun movie and it's worth the purchase. Heck, I can't wait to see what else comes from this director and these writers in the future. If you have a few bucks to send their way, please do because they have the talent.
