You know that it’s been a weird year when Danny McBride, an
actor and writer better known for his comedic works, is currently riding high on a horror movie. This kind of step into different genres doesn’t have to be a
bad thing (worked a miracle for Jordan Peele), but if McBride wants to keep up
with his standard trade, it’s an easy ask that he be attached to works worth
their salt. And this kind of is, in a roundabout way, as despite this being
billed as a comedy, laughter isn’t exactly the first reaction this gives. It’s
a little too low-key and a little too preoccupied with moodier pursuits for
that.
