Leia W Sep 28, 2018 AMAZING FUNNY AND SCARY.
Jun 7, 2018 Suburban Gothic is a phenomenal movie. Mostly funny, but also scary. Very great movie
Poe W Nov 24, 2017 Quirky and fun. Definitely worth a watch if you are into the comedy-horror genre.
George W Jan 26, 2015 This was actually kinda amazing. Seeing Gruber doing other roles was definitely different & quite honestly I found this movie quite hilariously interesting... & besides, Kat Dennings can always make me laugh. See more
