I wasn't expecting much from this, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. First off I'll get the bad out of the way. The Kevin Smith style humor, and one liners were pretty hit and miss. I generally liked the cast, they had chemistry, and I found them amusing, however some of the lines were totally copied from Smith's films. Including a rant on who the better James Bond was between Roger Moore, and Sean Connery. And even the humorous moment where Timothy Dalton was mentioned. If you've seen those films, then you know what I mean. Another mild compliant is I loved Armin Shimmerman's character, and would have liked to have seen him with more screen time. Now with that out of the way, I'll get to the overwhelming good. First off the blood and gore effects were top notch. For what was mostly a lighthearted comedy/horror, it gets pretty darn messy. Heads being exploded from ceiling fans, scorpions torn out from inside a person's flesh, and more. It definitely came through for us gore hounds. And the cast, although again some humor fell flat, delivered. All in all, a very good movie. Check it out.
