This one took me by surprise. The term "Jack of all trades" seems to used with mild distain but for a movie to achieve success in several different genres I think it something to be admired. What I love most about this movie is underneath all the killings & 80's comedy schtick is that this really is the story of a daughter getting over the loss of her mother. And it's great, Taissa Farmiga & Malin Akerman have such a natural chemistry it's heartbreaking when you realize the direction the movie is going in. And it's rare that a movie's two best scenes both involve strip teases for two very different reasons (seriously if your eyes aren't watery by the second one, you're a monster). Easily one of the most underrated horror movies of the year.
3/4
