Watched on Dec 4, 22 & Feb 4, 23

To start, this was yet again a movie I was looking forward to. Dissimilarly to Bodies Bodies Bodies, I actually had no expectations for this. I thought it was going to be another mid horror movie where it takes itself too seriously, and let me tell you that I was pleasently surprised

The movie finds itself both hilarious and spooky throughout. The progression it takes from being just any other movie documentary to when it starts leaning more to horror is progressive and well done, so to speak. The way the director maticulously plans out every shot is with care and it really shows. The actors all feel like they're really leaning in and becoming their character which really helps because it's not every film where that happens

Every actor is perfect for their role. From the chef, to Margot, and even Dave! I absolutely had a blast both times watching this and it is one I have to reccomend as both a starter horror movie and one for if you're looking for a good time.

OVERALL RATING: 5/5 ★'s
