A fun picture that is more satire than horror.

Rating: 8/10 (16 April 2012)

If you are familiar with Joss Whedon, you know what to expect: the characters are smart, witty, and in many cases refreshingly lackluster.
the plot is a cliché and it knows it, so don't expect any terribly new ground here...just a fun spin on it.
the action and "scares" are mostly for fun, there is nothing too serious about this movie.
To make a tired comparison, the movie really is like a mix of Evil Dead 2, Scream, and the Truman Show.
I laughed a lot, but maybe just because I've seen enough horror movies to get all the movie's references to them.
Strongly recommended to any fans of 80's horror flicks or Whedon films.
