The Reel Review
The premise of this strange, straight-to-DVD horror/comedy is wonderfully topical – the crew for an American home improvement TV show returns to a remote village in Moldova to check on their new homeowner after six months, to discover things have gotten super weird. The story, however, by writers of SpongeBob SquarePants (take a minute to process that one!), lags for MORE THAN HALF of the film. That aside, the juxtaposition of the TV show’s stereotypically upbeat cheesy music and graphics with the rumors of witchcraft and over the top gore, turns this bizarre climax into quite the jawdropper. For a B grade horror/comedy, it ultimately hits the mark, once it finally gets there.
