Thanks to my mom, I've seen this movie way more times than I would ever want to. Its stupid, unfunny, generic, boring, and makes no sense. I would not recommend this movie at all.

You wouldn't think it looking at the poster but this film is a little unknown gem I almost skipped. It's made by Music video director Joseph Kahn (he also directed Torque - there is a joke in the film referring to it) and you can tell coz this film is fast paced and has lots of cool shooting angles and scene transitions and has a very colorful look. It mixes horror, science fiction and comedy in a way that totally works. I actually laughed more during this film than with any 'real' comedy I saw the last 10 years. There are also plenty of 90's film references for movie buffs. If you have to criticize you could say this film is sometimes a bit too dense and overloaded and the plot at one point gets a bit out of hand and begins to trip over itself. But all that hardly matters, you'll have a good time watching this and isn't that why we watch movies in the first place? Highly recommended!

I give this a seven because I have to round up, but its the archetypal 6.5There are a lot of references in this that are worthwhile, but they are so disjointed it hard to make anything of them, in fact its hard to really take anything from this one. Its about as relentless as anything you'll see, but its pace is too overwhelming to say it "meanders" through a narrative that becomes suddenly and violently indecipherable about half-way through. As far as a horror film goes, this one is actually a bit of fun, but doesn't deliver to enough of a horrific atmosphere to enthrall in that way, in fact I wouldn't even call this on the fringe or horror/baroque horror.The cheap references and wacky writing is pretty hit-and-miss, the hits substantial but the misses more common. Perhaps the most misleading things about it due to the fact that its plot structure involves 50% exposition/onset phasing. All things considered it one of the funner films you wouldn't have seen available on the internet TV or wherever else, but don't expect to be thinking about it hours after watching it. If you are then you should probably get your stuff together.

This Movie takes Excess to, well, Excessively Entertaining levels of Hyper-Absurdity. Trying to write about this Amazing Adventure into Pop Culture references and Self-Awareness is Difficult to say the Least. It is Hypnotic and Annoying, Visually Impressive and Incoherent. A Fun Nightmare of Images and Sound that are so Up Front that it is not so much in Your face as in Your head. Whether that is a Good Thing or not will depend on Your ability to withstand a Pleasurable Migraine. It is Nothing if not about Everything that is supposedly, in and among Modern Teens, that is Post Modern, Cool, Hip, With It, Retro, Today, Yesterday, and the Future of Civilization in the hands of these High Schoolers.There is so, so much here that if you are so inclined might invite Multiple Viewings. It wears its Cult Movie Pretensions well as it wears on Your Tolerance for Over Indulgence and Mind Altering Substances. The Movie is all over the map and when it is all over, it Challenges the Viewer to make sense of what They have just been offered.It will most likely be a Love it or Hate it Film guaranteed to Alienate. Although this is Refreshing Filmmaking, it will also Siphon Energy like a Synthetic Sponge and leave Limp those who dare give this Movie a Watch. After all, it dares You to give it a try and then Double Dares you to make anything out of it that is Profound. It never is and You never will.
