Truly “killer” flick; nice pun ya?
Seriously though: old mansion, rich devil worshippers, great plot and backstory sprinkled throughout as the movie goes along. The devil in this one, Mr. LeBail (clever anagram for Belial, Hebrew’s OG King of Evil) needs a sacrifice before dawn or this wealthy family is fucked.
The cast is phenomenal. The dude from the OC (Daniel) provided some brilliant sarcasm and dry humor that lightened the movie up wonderfully. Great mix of humor and horror here.
I love that we see the deterioration of the protagonist’s wedding dress the more the movie goes along, symbolizing the deterioration of her less than day old marriage. In addition, she uses parts of her dress as a deadly weapon. What begins as a dazzling white dress is nothing but blackened and bloody rags by the film’s conclusion.
Kills are gruesome and sometimes silly, but overall well done. Film took on a slightly Purge-like feel, but meh, hard to be 100% original these days. At least it’s not another fucking superhero garbage remake.
8.5/10
