Outstanding meta-movie

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2012)

I better preface this by say that I love both Drew Godard and Joss Whedon. Maybe that means I'm biased, but I thought this flick was completely awesome. It's not at all what I expected it to be; I say that having watched the initial trailer and thinking I already had a pretty good idea of what was up. I honestly expected it to be more scare oriented, but I wasn't at all disappointed with what it actually is. It's really really funny. I keep wanting to say spoilery things, even comparisons to other things could be spoilery. I love it when genre movies are made by people with a clear love of the films that came before and have an interesting take on a different look at it. This is a horror-lovers movie, it's a movie-lovers movie, it's a hell of a good time for people who just want to sit back and have a great ride, plus some gore.
All thumbs up.
