Horror-Comedy (not the opposite) directed by Zelda Willians in her full feature film, and written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer's Body) that tells the story of a grief stricken teenager who had her mother slaughtered, and lives now with an abusive mother-in-law and a lovely sister-in-law.
Kathryn Newton as Lisa is perfect for her role.
Stigmatized by her past and actions the is the black swan of the school, and passes a lot of time in a old cemetery (watch the credits animation closely) of the 19th century on a tomb of another teenager that died with a green lighting into 1837.
The movie emulates the 80's teenage romance-comedies (it passes in 89), in a light way till a certain previsible point - for sure it isn't as sugary as you may think to those who wonder. And have an unsuspected ending.
I think it was worth for some laughs on a weekend night - I score it 6,6 out of 10,0 / B for the fun.
A horrible movie written by an empathetically void and morally bankrupt sociopath.
In the beginning quirky with a torrent of jokes that all fall completely flat. Lighting done by what must be a blind diversity hire, as we almost can't see what's going on 90% of the time.
Then, our supposed protagonist becomes a psychopathic serial murderer, which apparently is not only okay, but something to laugh about and root for. Anyone crosses Lisa the slightest, they're fair game for being murdered and then mocked and their death celebrated with laughs and dancing.
I haven't seen anything this morally decrepit since Natural Born Killers, but that movie was an ironic critique of pop culture and the media's obsession with death and violence. This "movie" just plainly celebrates the same psychopathic behavior unironically and unapologetically. Ew.
That this filth can be produced today without someone not insane stopping it along the way worries me. I'd rather have my children watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre than this insane on-screen feces.
