***************

I'm not sure if I DISLIKED this movie or if I FUCKING LOVED it. It's a bit of an enigma for me.

On one hand, I absolutely loved the conceit that the horror movie nerd kid is battling the killer alien with his knowledge of horror rules (much like the dude in "SCREAM"). And on the other hand, that horror movie nerd kid is a fucking jerk. Extremely unlikable.

And there hinges the film in my opinion.

That aside, this movie leans into the genre stereotype of kids who go out to fuck in the woods. The people over at the movie "DON'T FUCK IN THE WOODS" are saying: "We told you so, stupid kids."

So, yeah, a lot of T&A and a lot of cheesy gore and green slime - because you do have a tentacled green space monster that looks like a turtle without its shell - but the script dialogue is kinda clever at times and the filmmakers KNOW that they are doing some slight parody here.

Hell, at one point a character is almost hit by the BOOM MIC and then he fucking grabs it and swings on it like a gymnast to escape from the monster. That was TRULY CLEVER AND HILARIOUS.

So I put the star grade right in the middle at 2.5 stars... but to tell you the truth, I'm kind of leaning towards the positive side of that. If only that dude wasn't such an asshole. ...heh...
