Review of Big Bad

Big Bad (2016)
One of the best independent horror comedies of all time
12 September 2016
This may be sold as an homage to the 80's, but believe me, that's not what it is. It's just a really good horror spoof.

Honestly, if you're expecting a movie that LOOKS like an 80's movie, go somewhere else. But it sure as heck sounds like one. Great clever comedy with witty performances from everyone. Twists galore and funny stereotypes. Actual teenagers playing teenagers. Useless high school drama, but hilariously played.

The big credits go to every actor in this movie who are giving funny and realistic performances that you'd expect from that type of spoof. Turning every trope against itself. Props for also using great practical effects on the monster. An actual MONSTER, not a over-explained cliché.

Lastly, the soundtrack is absolutely amazing. For an independent production, instrumentals are fun, quirky and nostalgic of a time where scary could rhyme with funny, even in terms of music.

If you can keep your standards low towards the visuals (even though there are some nice shots), you'll definitely be having a bloody good time. Like a Goosebumps episode gone good or an 80's family horror movie.
