    Hooptober 11: Film #15

    This one bangs.

    This stoner comedy meets paranormal body horror is undeniably well-executed. Its concept is original, its script is funny, its horror is unnerving and its special effects makeup is fabulous.

    I enjoyed every character, every plot beat, every scare and every kill. I have practically no complaints with this one at all, though its deeper meaning is either missing or improperly communicated.

    Its possible this story is a critique on sleeping through your life…

    Hooptober 11: Film #14

    While I was on board from the beginning with this one, I can honestly say it lost me after the two unfortunately long sexual exploitation and assault scenes.

    I enjoyed some of the humor, the bold characters, the strong concept, the epic special effects makeup and the ruthless kills, but I unfortunately left the film with a bad taste in my mouth.

    Its use of tension and understanding of horror is unquestionably artful, I just wish…

    Hooptober 11: Film #8

    Unpredictable and extremely effective in its horror and suspense throughout. Both campy and incredibly skillful, Pizza alternates between funny and bizarre and truly disturbing and terrifying. I haven't been this on edge during the climax of a horror movie in a minute.

    Great acting, great storytelling and artful cinematography. Enjoyable from start to finish with an ending I didn't see coming.

    Definitely worth a watch for its unnerving scares, original concept and exciting craftsmanship.
