This Thursday Throwback movie has a love/hate relationship with audiences.
It’s far from perfect, but it’s watchable enough; the story is original and holds together reasonably well, the performances are serviceable, all things considered; and it’s (intentionally) funny.
Anyone expecting a horror movie will be sorely disappointed, as there’s really very little about it that’s scary (save some of the 80s-tastic fashion) but if you’re in the mood for a lightweight comedy with a feel-good ending, and don’t mind a few stakings...
