Should be billed as a horror-comedy....


I know the makers don't want to bill this as part comedy, but it is. This could have been a masterpiece if done with less comedy, much darker, less CGI and a darker ending. That being said, those who like horror comedies should enjoy this. I found it to be an average horror with the possibility of greatness.

That's interesting. I don't like horror films and long ago stopped watching them. But if there is some funny maybe I'll give it a belated look.

Do, it’s phenomenal.

Didn't they fail and the world was going to be destroyed because the old ones were free now? How much darker do you want?

I feel like a lot of horror movies incorporate comedy. Since this is meant to be the archetype for all horror movies, it seems fitting.

reply

Yes! I felt bad laughing when a monster tossed a person’s head and a girl caught it. I thought that was very funny. There were other parts I laughed at too but don’t want to give spoilers

The comedy made it different from every other horror movie
