Hanky Panky, which is described as comedy and horror is a weird, wild, fun, and different kind of movie. I was fortunate enough to attend the premiere. The movie is unique and creative and if you're looking for something fun and campy to watch with your friends, this is perfect. With most films that become cult favorites, I could see my group of friends calling back to parts of the movie at random times long after seeing the film. Another fun part of the movie was the indirect callbacks to other movies. I recognized scenes that reminded me of Clue as the random group was invited to a cabin under peculiar circumstances, with mysterious deaths occurring throughout the movie. There was also a slap scene which reminded me of the movie Airplane. The movie didn't always make sense, but the cast had good chemistry. The actors did a great job with the roles that they were given. Even though the lines were not always believable, the actors did an incredible job bringing the ridiculous characters to life. Each character had a quirky and entertaining personality. The special effects were silly and low-budget, but it made them funny. Even though the movie is described as comedy/horror, it leaned more towards comedy. Anything that was horror wasn't truly scary. It felt as scary as the horror in the Scary Movie franchise. For me, the ending felt rushed, and it didn't necessarily tie up loose ends. And Nick Roth needed more screen time but, overall, it's a movie that I would watch again.
