“Donu0026#39;t let the title put you off, this is a quirky indie horror set in a small town cinema staffed by a fun group of confused, sheltered christian teens who face down an evil force.nItu0026#39;s low budget by they get a lot of production value from the location of a small town cinema where the entire film takes place.nThe dialogue is funny and fairly smart, and while not all the jokes land they fit well with the characters who are well played by the young cast.nIt is a horror comedy but its a good balance of the two and while its not REALLY scary it occasionally builds some creepiness and tension.nThere is some nudity, a little gore and a few twists and turns to keep you going. It gets a lot of bang for its buck and I really enjoyed it.”
