Well, this is an odd one. Not just because this is an Irish
horror-comedy that makes for one of the weirder entries in that genre hybrid
I’ve seen in years, but because of the reception this film has already
garnered. It is one of the many films of 2019 that has managed to snag a
perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a notion only made weirder when it sets
in that there have been zero 0% ratings this year.
As someone who in the last couple years has actually started
being listed on the website proper (not for these reviews, but for the ones on
FilmInk… for now, at least), and who occasionally wonders if I like too many
movies to be considered a credible critic (feel free to decide amongst
yourselves which part of that statement is the most ridiculous), this seems
off for one of the bigger touchstones of the industry I work in, not to mention
intimidating to be looking at a movie that everyone else seems to like without
caveat. Thankfully, while I don’t think it’s out-and-out brilliant, I can at
least get how it would garner that much positive buzz.
