This was an incredibly fun watch full of gore and crazy camera angles. The store is basic but put to good use, the location is great and works well, the characters are stereotypes but they are fun and not annoying. The film picks up steam as it goes and while the main twist can be seen a mile away the smaller twist was pretty damn refreshing. Great way the end the film.
