Yet Another Unfunny Not Scary-Horror/Comedy
A group of 6 male friends with the must have black and Spanish token inserts for the box checkers. Some white people bad, natives good and wholesome bs. Then there is a out of nowhere scene with a bunch of racist homophobic rednecks in a bar. The scene just happens
all of a sudden and makes no sense whatsoever. There is a black deputy in a small backwoods Michigan town in the 80's-DEI.
Average to bad acting from most of the cast. Karlos is notably bad, made worse by the fact that his acting seems to get worse
as the movie progresses. His character is supposed to be some kind of hardened badass combat vet, but he just comes off as a
douchebag try hard wannabe. The dialogue and jokes are awful. This is supposedly 1986 but it doesn't feel like it's in the 80's
at all, if anything if feels more 90's. These so called friends don't really act like they are actually friends at all. They are oddly upset and act like some random bartender they met for 1 hour was one of their lifelong best friends. Nothing makes sense. There is a scene where one of them catches a quick shot of the creature on a camcorder and they all takes turns watching it at full speed and not a single one thinks to hit pause
to see what it is they are looking at. It takes to 59 min mark for the first kill in an 85 minute movie and when it finally happens its offscreen and the aftermath fx look bad. The exploding CG truck looks worse. All the kills are fairly tame with nothing you haven't seen before. No humor, no scares. It's too bad as there are some very well shot scenes and the cinematography is generally very good.
