I'm torn between appreciating the premise of the film, and being disappointed by it's execution. Not that the execution did anything wrong, it's just that it.......Let's put it this way, as clever as it is at the start, is as clever as it ever gets, and about 40 minutes into the film you know you're watching a by the numbers horror movie. And the fact that they intend it to be by the numbers doesn't make it any less irritating because you still have to watch it unfold exactly as you expect it to.
Add on that the nudity wasn't really enjoyable and the kills and gore all seemed to be a secondary thought, it was just a let down.
Bradley Whitford is amazing though, so that's something. The ending also came across as very silly to me but by the time you see all the monsters it doesn't really matter, it's already shot it's wad of cuteness.
It's an interesting premise with a strong start that gets redundant and boring despite throwing the kitchen sink at you.
