I like what I see so far.

 

[Mani-Man]

Looks neat, the mask design is pretty cool.

[The Shape]

I am so in for this.

 

[Sawyer]

It shouldn’t still be a surprise ever since Jordan Peele proved how strong the comedy to horror pipeline is, but it’s still wild to me to see guys from College Humor (and The Whitest Kids U Know, in Zach Cregger’s case) making their mark directing horror.

This looks terrible and I am HERE for it.

 

[Stringer]

I may be rusty on my slasher tropes but I don't recall seeing many hero couples as the leads in these movies.

 

[Sawyer]

Ugh. To go from a trailer for your film dropping to this in less than a week…

 

[Hunter Rider]

I can see the design of the killers mask getting over with audiences, might be enough to make this a minor hit.

I didn't realize this was directed by the guy who did Werewolves Within... I'm so super excited.

 

[The Shape]

I'm already seated for Thursday night.

It’s definitely a movie that understood the assignment. Rom-com/slasher mix with likeable, funny characters and a cool killer. A little too Scream-lite for me in terms of the ending, but I had a lot of fun with it overall.

Heart Eyes > The Terrifier franchise and it ain't even close. This will probably sit comfortably as my favorite neo slasher to date. 9/10.

I mean both are operating on completely different levels of horror but sure.

One actually understood the assignment. The other is an over indulgent half-assed rubber mess in dire need of a real director and editor.

Haven't seen Heart Eyes yet but your average high school kids with a camcorder make better movies than Terrifier. Rock stupid, lowest common denominator embodiment of everything base and boring about the genre - not surprised at all to recently learn they're made by a cretinous moron.

Both understood the assignment, it's just you prefer one to the other and that's okay.

New age slasher aka slashers of the Scream variety.
