I feel very seen in this movie.

I've seen some middling reviews, and yeah, fair. This is a solid 7/10 movie. Maybe the whole is a little lesser than its parts, but there are some great parts. Of course, it's the kind of 7/10 that for me is like an 8 or 9.

Great practical effects, a fair amount of gore, the cast is all great, and it is funny. I'd say it's in the realm of like Cemetery Man/Delamorte Delamore (less misogyny tho!) and Ash vs Evil Dead (with a little less gore and violence). Or maybe elevated Troma (I can't believe I just wrote that sentence. PUKE!).

Fun movie, thanks for the recommendation, via your comparables!

I really like Lennon, and what a coup to get a Nanjiani cameo. And... that's Alex Winter of Bill & Ted Alex Winter who does Vlad!
