3/5

It’d be a thrill to report that Cregger’s latest is a Weapons-grade horror classic rather than just a handsome-looking and occasionally inspired addition to the funhouse zombie genre. It’s not that. But on its own terms, it’s still a fun Friday night.

The glue holding this all together is Austin Abrams. In him, Cregger has found the bumbling, chaotic De Niro to his Scorsese.

...the movie also proves to be a giddy, playful horror-comedy, judged exactly right: skewed, nasty, actually funny.

The film isn’t perfect and it does feel like a bit of a regression for Cregger following the undeniably triumph of Weapons but it does supply plenty of grisly fun, however fleeting it might be.

It's a bleaker, smaller story told by a filmmaker deftly weaving his way into the tapestry of a much larger franchise without upsetting any preexisting canon. But it's still a great horror movie, and a thrilling one too.
