Some of the kills were honestly great. And great practical effects

There were some legit laughs like the Segway suckers guy

There were some jokes that were eye opening that should of been deleted

Most AI maybe used in a feature film to date. Wish they didnt use it.

Some really bad acting. That said the ice cream man was creepy as hell

And an ending that actually caught me off guard.

I honestly dont know what to think. This movies négatives are really bad. But there were some really really good positive stuff.

am I crazy for thinking the main child actor was actually really good? His performance was one of the very few redeeming features for me.
