After an hour of entertainingly crass buildup, pic erupts in a riot of outrageous, quite funny violence that leaves almost no one alive. Punk/metal soundtrack is in keeping with gonzo tone.

The script not only ups the ante on horror film conventions but also pokes fun at youthful paranoia and insecurities.

Will definitely fill the appetites of someone in the mood for something completely different.

Surprisingly well-acted, fast-paced, frequently amusing and packed with some really crazy kills near the end.
