Reviews
|
Village Voice -
The heart of this mostly bloodless picture is Max's relationship with her mother's film character, and there are some genuinely touching moments about grieving and the acceptance of loss.
|
|
Arizona Republic -
Todd Strauss-Schulson’s meta send-up of ’80s sex-equals-death slasher movies keeps its goofy good humor throughout, and tosses in a little almost-genuine feeling into the mix for good measure.
|
|
Los Angeles Times -
A playful deconstruction of the slasher film that ultimately packs a surprisingly affecting punch.
|
|
The New York Times -
A horror comedy that proves that with the right actors you can make an amusing movie even if a lot of your ideas are borrowed.
|
|
Austin Chronicle -
Both Farmiga and Akerman emotionally connect in the film, which culminates in an ultimate act of maternal sacrifice more moving than you might imagine. Finally! A slasher movie with both brains and heart, both intact.
