Lawrence and Feldman play well off one another, but the movie needs more than that chemistry to be an unqualified success.

Offers two hours of fan service while serving up enough gore to appeal to many generic slasher/horror movie aficionados.

Is not about cinematic enjoyment but expanding a brand. Its success relies on name recognition and nostalgia.

It will fill the bellies of those yearning for inventive killings and a menu of viscera.

As a comedy, it hits many of the right notes but as a mystery, it is less than impressive.

One cannot help but wish the fantasy is better realized and the ending does not feel rushed and unearned.
