Adam Scott, Evangeline Lilly, Clancy Brown, Tyler Labine, Donald Faison in a comedy horror?! Sign me up I thought, this is going to be incredible I assumed. I was wrong, I was very sorely wrong.
It tells the story of a man who marries only to start believing his step son to be the anti-christ. Hilarity was supposed to ensue, why didn't it ensue?
You see when it's funny it's funny, in fact in a few places it's hilarious but the vast majority of jokes miss their mark to embarrassing degrees. The film is full of unlikable characters, the plot is rushed, the editing is shoddy, the soundtrack is baffling and for some reason they though adding Edgar Wright transitions would be a good idea.
I mean come on! A comedy horror with that roster! How did you balls it up to this extent? I cringed multiple times throughout the film, why is it so bad?
On paper this is diamond dust, in reality its a soiled cubic zirconia.
The Good:
Great cast
Some decent ideas
The Bad:
Everything is executed poorly
Concept is wasted
Soundtrack is confusingly awful
Just not funny
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Eli Craig needs exiling from the movie industry
Someone shrunk ACDC's Brian Johnson
When Evangeline Lilly is made to be unlikable in a film it's game over man, pack up your stuff and get the hell out!
