This is a weird movie. I watched it because I live in the area it's filmed. Seriously why film in a Halloween attraction for most the movie and barely use any of it snd not make a horror movie? There's a Haunted House there? Why not use that? There's numerous other literal horror settings right there to use.
Instead it's this weird movie with very unlikable characters. And I have zero clue why this groups spends all their time together. 2 get along, but the other 4? None of them have absolutely anything in common and don't even seem to like any of like each other at all. Plus why is a random young kid hanging out with them?
It's horribly written.
Also I'm a diabetic with an insulin pump, there comments and complaints and everything they say about diabetes and insulin is wrong.
Diabetics don't smell weird because of insulin. WTF! Also I've never had anyone give me crap for being a diabetic let alone nonstop like the kid says.
Again why are any of these kids together? None of them like each other.
Also why is the girl so over the top angry nonstop?
Also it says it has a $3 million dollar budget. Where the hell did all the money go??

Nothing about this show is realistic to working in a video store at all.
A show set in a Blockbuster say in the 90s sounds like the perfect set up for a show.
There's so many negatives to this it would be like reading a chapter from a book to list them all, but worst of all the writing is so, so bad. Nothing is funny. Nothing is original. Nothing is nostalgic.
It feels just like those sitcoms made 20 years ago that only lasted 6 months that no one remembers. Quick quips followed by quick cuts to other actors and repeat. These are great actors, but man none of this is funny.
It's weird how such a good idea that so many were excited about could fail spectacularly. I don't get why they even used Blockbuster at all in this.
I do really like the cast though. I'm not sure why they focus so much on the older lady though.

To me it doesn't feel like a Clive Barker or a Hellraiser movie. The tone feels completely off.
It comes across as a cheap slasher horror movie.
All the cenobites are women now. Ok, but I don't get why they're all half pink? The original cenobites were white and black in color. It was menacing and scary.
In this movie they're all white and pink. Seriously why? Who thought pink was scary? The original movies (not the cheap sequels) were gruesome, horrific and painful to watch. This is just CG blood, effects and cheap thrills. It doesn't look real because there's no practical effects.
It's not mysterious at all, barely any story and pretty far off from the source material.
