Notes

My quick rating - 6,9/10. This good of a flick and still had plenty of room for improvement. The "freaky friday" with a serial killer and teenager works very well. I am not sure which was better, the teeny bopper acting like a middle aged serial killer (Kathryn Newton) or by far the show stealing Vince Vaughn portraying a 16 year old girl. Either way it is fun to watch and they just skimped on some of the possibilities they could've utilized. So the town serial killer gets his hands on a ritualistic dagger that when used switches the souls between victim and killer, for 24 hours or becomes permanent. And the "Butcher" is just that. He dispenses with his victims in creative and brutal fashion, something the horror flicks of late had missed. The balance between comedy and horror is done quite well as Vaughn(as Millie) and her two friends must race against the clock to try and catch Newton(as Butcher) so they can stab him/her before it is too late. All the while, they have to avoid the cops, parents and the rest of the school since who is gonna believe them anyway? Casting wise they nailed it for sure. The deaths were filmed with enough gore for some, and enough left to the imagination for others. Definitely worth the watch, especially with the dried up well as of late.
