I didn't really know what to expect from this movie since it mixed so many genres but at the end I found it very amusing and fun to watch.

For me, the good sides of this movie are it's comedy relief, it's pace and acting. Even though it has some really creepy and even disturbing scenes that are surrounding the movie's plot, they didn't make them the sole center of the movie, but at the same time comedy and romance didn't make them any less creepy. Horror scenes were done really well in my opinion and made me feel uncomfortable, but comedy relief and movie's self awareness at times made this movie hilarious! I laughed a lot at some scenes cause they were unexpected, I like that type of comedy. The actors portrayed their roles quite well and a lot of times their reactions, especially laughing, felt really genuine. I think that made me sympathize with them more.

As for the things I didn't quite like is the story itself. It was a new concept for me, but it didn't quite stick to me, especially at the end. The story had such a nice pace and it was interesting, but the last 20-30 minutes felt so forced to me. And yet, at the end I felt like nothing was resolved, I didn't feel any satisfaction of a rounded up story. It felt like they just dismissed some problems that were present throughout movie without really solving them.

To conclude this review, I recommend you to watch this movie cause it's fun and the way it mixes different genres is very interesting.
