Great but not horror

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2012)

This movie was excellent, but it was not a horror movie. This was more black comedy horror and it owes it's success to the wit of the writers and also their familiarity with oh so many horror movies that have come before. The writers are certainly horror movie fans but this was more of a homage to those that have come before.
It starts out with a bunch of beautiful young people that you assume will simply be killed one by one if you haven't read the reviews but the movie evolves into a much better film than that with a lot more creativity even though they nod to a huge number of old and newer classic straight horror films.
The acting is excellent and the stoner guy basically steals the show. I want to comment on so much more but can't without giving the story away... Argh! I loved that they knew their classic films and that plus their cleverness makes this film one I want to own.
