A fun play on the slasher genre with a heavy injection of humor. I see what other reviewers are saying about wanting something fresher or newer, but personally I enjoyed it not trying to reinvent the wheel. It gives a lot of nods to the genres heavy hitters in a good way (I enjoyed the classic tropes). Definitely not serious while handling a lot of serious subject matter. And kinda cool to see it from the perspective of these women grown up.
