definitely more of a comedy than a horror
This movie is really goofy from like the minute it starts all the way until the end credits scenes. It made me laugh so many times; there's really funny physical humor, lots of great one-liners, the makeup in several scenes made me giggle, and the actors were just amazing with pulling off fear and hilarity. Honestly, with the story, I could guess a lot of it (tho admittedly the Truth of it all did surprise me) which isn't a bad thing, but I think with a different cast it would've been a lot more boring. The three boys as well as the grandparents and "Little Suzuki" were perfect in their roles.
The music was fine, I didn't really feel that moved by it either to laughter or anything else. Another criticism I had is that sometimes the really emotional scenes feel out of left field, or aren't given more than a few seconds to hit before it was already moving on. I enjoyed anyway, but I did notice it and it was a little distracting. Also, while I am queer and a lot of the gay jokes were funny, I wish it could've been handled maybe a little differently. Idk I have mixed feelings about that aspect.
General rewatch value is probably higher than I rated it for myself, because once you know the ending it would def be fun to look back and see all the hints. But personally idk if I'll be rewatching, at least not any time soon. Maybe when I need a pick me up.
Worth a watch for sure, but don't go into this expecting a horror--you will only find a comedy.
