Perhaps I was in the perfect mood for this because it was actually pretty delightful. I was excited to see that Gabriel Bartalos was in charge of the creature effects, and we do get to see some really cool designs where the extremely well-lit conditions don't betray grotesque monster designs. This is a movie that probably won't do what you want it to, and just like the indication of the steering wheel Lucy rips out of the car it just wants to explore its own world a little bit and do so at a reasonable pace. There's more story than plot here and as a cap to this year's Hooptober, it fits quite well as a send-up of monster movies with a small yet comedically talented cast. If it dug its heels in a little more I'd call this the MYSTERY TEAM of horror comedies.
