I had zero expectations going in, maybe for the best, but ended up having fun with this one. Cage was ridiculous as always but it worked here. The cartoonish gore was great and over the top, the humor fit the theme which was reminiscent of the horror comedies of the 80s along with Airplane-like sight gags, and Awkwafina’s sarcasm combined with Hoult’s (Renfield) self-help awakening made a likeable duo. Maybe a negative would be the unnecessary police family drama of Awkwafina’s character but outside of that I found it to be a campy and violent good time.

Oh interesting, I had to watch the previews a few times and have extremely low expectations, so coupled with your analysis, maybe I’ll give it a try.
I was so surprised by this one ad well. My partner wanted to watch this and as a silly Sunday afternoon watch with beers and popcorn we sat down to it. The humor is really on point - really wacky and it doesn’t take itself seriously. I think 3.5 out of 5 is very fair
I watched during a flight. I found it rather entertaining.
