    Rating: 3 out of 5.

    A fun, wacky trip down prosthetic-laden 80s horror/comedy, complete with the return of some OG favorites.

    Story? What story, lol. It’s your classic “help, I’m trapped and I can’t get out” cube rescue formula, packed with irrelevant characters and way too many subplots. It’s like the writers couldn’t decide who to kill off first, so they just threw everything at the wall to see what stuck.

    That said, the marketing was massively over the top. Did this really need to be shoved down my throat every time I looked at a screen? Absolutely not. Still, if you’re into goofy, over-the-top horror nostalgia, it’s worth a laugh or two.
