Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a lukewarm 48% audience score and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Right up the alley of fans of a well-timed joke and anyone who enjoys a good scare. Easy company after a long day. Shelve it next to Braindead or Re-Animator.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Residents of peaceful Pebbles Court, Homesville, are being used unknowingly as test experiments for a new 'Body Drug' that causes rapid body decomposition (melting skin etc.) and painful death.
