Way better than its horror remake/reboot tag suggested, a silly but fun, self-aware riff with lively humor and some creative slasher set-pieces. Elevated by crisp craft and finer-than-genre-average acting; the main kid even gives an actual performance. I kind of knew I would be into this when the film somehow allowed Aubrey Plaza to actually retain her persona, just with a kid (as in the early scene where her character managed to lightly threaten her boss into giving up that doll to her). 6.5/10
