The horror-comedy sub-genre has given us some of the dumbest, most cynical movies imaginable, but Landon appears to have nailed what makes these two flavours go together – an appreciation and respect for both forms. Read more

All in all, though, the script is filled with jokes I found unsatisfactory, severely limiting the extent to which I could engage with these performances. And in the end these two performers are the glue holding this high concept film together. Read more

Hoewel iedereen leuk speelt, staan de spotlights vooral op Vaughn. Daar doet hij ook veel voor: hij is zowel intimiderend als komisch en houdt zich prima staande in de emotionele scènes. Read more
