This film is all it's cracked up to be from the title, and more. While the exterior screams something one would grab off the self for a fun cheese fest, this film is very aware of its corny-factor and turns it into a nice little horror-com (which is perhaps more comedy than horror). What makes this film better than others with similar "themes" is that, the comedy is not so awkward--meaning yes, you ARE meant to laugh at that. Moreover, the acting is surprisingly decent, and the film actually has a solid story-line. Instead of working a plot around cheese, the filmmakers worked the cheese around a plot. Surprisingly, the best part about this one is the lack of blood and gore, so much so that the one scene that contained these qualities felt out of place. Aside from this being a unique idea for an homage to '50s creature features, there should be more horrors coming out like this--unique, fun, light-hearted, and not so gore reliant.
Cheesy: 4/5
Sleazy: 0/5
Culty: 5/5
