So many emotions and feelings came when watching this film, the first was "what have I just witnessed", the second "that was f*ing brilliant", the third "that was kinda stupid", the fourth "that was very clever", the fifth "I've never seen anything like that before" and the sixth "I wanna see it again".
I don't really know what I was expecting here to be honest, I thought it might be a fairly generic horror film with Joss Whedon's fantastically witty dialogue. And in some ways I was right but mostly I was completely wrong. This is a very hard review to write without giving away any plot points, but you may see some of it coming, but you'll never see it being done in this way before.
To be honest the only thing I can say is just go and watch it and make of it what you will. I thought it was great, and came out of the cinema with a grin on my face. This is a hard film to gauge how different people will react, I expect most will find it enjoyable and funny, but others will loathe it, its definitely a "Marmite" film. To be honest this goes for a lot of Wheadon's writing and props go to Drew Goddard for an ace first time directing gig.
So despite this rather lame review where I have struggled to comprehensively give an opinion, I really loved the film a lot and would recommend giving it a watch. But this isn't for everyone.
