Oh boy, this is one badass movie. It's anything but your typical slasher movie. It starts out as one but after 15 minutes you're entering to a very original and flat out funny horror comedy.
Dare i say this is the best satire (not parody) i've seen about the ubearable toughness of Israeli being?
I dare.
