surprisingly solid entertainment

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2014)

i'll admit, i selected this on a boredom filled night as a time filler. I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is exactly what it proclaims to be. it's witty, clever and refreshing. The gore isn't overdone and as i'm not a fan of "horror" it fell right into the 'almost comical' category. The right characters get their heads mushed, if you know what i'm saying. i'm confused by the bad reviews. This movie doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is. The storyline flows, you'll root for the proper characters, it's not going to be nominated for an Oscar but hot damn, i will never regret pushing 'watch now'. It kind of reminded me of 'snow white and the huntsman'. Again, not a blockbuster, but definitely worth the watch. Obviously this isn't a film for children but i actually caught myself muttering a few times "ha! don't eat the candy".
