Sheesh. Where to start?
The kindest thing I can say is that with a rewrite & shortening it to an hour, I think this would’ve made a good episode of Creepshow. There were a few interesting moments that are mostly covered in the trailer and the production quality was on par with FNAF.
Some of the acting is painful, the casting felt like they picked friends over actors, the exposition dumps will make you cringe and the writing just needs so…
I’m not well versed on South Park so I can’t compare it to what’s come before, but I will say that it addresses relevant cultural issues in a crude and humorous way. Influencers, advertisers, industry insiders, human trafficking, parental involvement, academic failure, peer pressure, trends, affinity groups and more are on blast in this South Park event. I can’t say I recommend the content but when it comes to shining a light into societies darker corners, nothing breaks the ice better than comedy.
The best puppeteering since Dream Warriors!
This is a unique concept that works pretty well onscreen if you can overlook a few moments of juvenile CGI. It’s worth your time to check out something a little different; keep an eye out for Zachary Le Vey who delivers the best lines and acting as the protagonists father.
It’s time to fear vampires again…
This is a bit of a slow burn which doesn’t work when you already know what to expect, but otherwise a great addition to vampire cannon. The gore and scares are on point and it couldn’t have been better cast(David Dastmalchian elevates everything I see him in).
Here’s your reminder that vampires are evil incarnate and not meant to be sympathetic, handsome loners. Dracula is an absolute monster who revels in the opportunity to go without his human mask, slowly tearing the crew apart psychologically and… literally.
