Reviews
Prisma found the plot to be "pretty grotesque," but that was on purpose. The film is a parody. It is not "really exciting", but has funny scenes. At Rotten Tomatoes says, the film schockiere and bring a laugh at the same time.
EricDSnider wrote on efilmcritic.com that the film used traditional elements of teenage horror films to create a "satirical" effect. He looks like a cartoon.
