Best for:Friends: Drunk movie night with people who love terrible-good cinema.·Rewatch: Spot the continuity errors and visible boom mics.·Background: Perfect chaos while you do literally anything else.
Heads up:Gore: Amateur-hour body horror with enthusiastic but unconvincing dismemberment.·Language: Script sounds written by someone who just learned swearing exists.
