    Oh great, another fat orange monster that touches kids and sexually harasses women that I need to be afraid of.

    An overweight orange puppet with a strange blonde hairstyle harasses women and children, eliminates those who disagree with him, struggles to control his impulses and destroys the world around him because of his stupid ideas. It is so accurate and bears such a striking…

    Y’all lied. “Goriest,” “creepiest,” “should be banned”? PLEASE. This isn’t horror; it’s a goofy kids’ adventure movie with monsters and a little blood. Amazing, original premise, but terrible execution. I expected horror and got Jumanji. So underwhelming.

    7.5/10 Probably the strangest movie I’ve seen this year. I honestly had no idea where to rank this. Definitely succeeded in giving off the Barney/teletubbies type show vibe. Absolute rollercoaster, had no idea where this thing was going to go. The kills were pretty gruesome and the storytelling was…

    The whole concept was very unique and the beginning was good. First off bro could teleport then proceeds not to do it ever again. Mom plot line went nowhere, big miss imo. As someone who watches a lot of horror movies, I haven’t seen this idea done but executed poorly. 5.8/10.
