There’s a broad tone to the jokes and performances that skews corny. But the central comic premise is a hoot; and the movie has an unexpectedly philosophical dimension.

The Geek Show (UK)

Playing to its strength of slapstick style qualities, it manages to avoid veering into the cringy, instead being a delightfully straightforward and thoroughly entertaining story

Dread Central

This horror comedy drags in the middle and skimps on scares. But the humor and a likable lead make it worth a look.

Rated: 3/5

Movie Madness Podcast

There's something lovely about Emily Hagins' style of humor that includes of wisp of childlike practicality in the arrested development of her adult characters and her latest bridges that comic horror gateway for all ages.

Rated: 3/4

Ready Steady Cut

There’s very little horror to a lot of comedy, and even the supposedly spooky parts fail at being scary. But if you’re willing to forgo the horror and enjoy a campy little flick with ghosts and demons, this is the film for you.

Rated: 3/5

Splice Today

This is a film that lacks direction and conviction—though not in a bad way. It slouches towards hell with such demonic inadequacy that it’s hard to not be charmed.

Sorry About the Demon is a light comedy set within a dark concept. Will, the protagonist and his band of friends are likable enough to carry the movie through a bunch of flat jokes and one dimensional conflicts.

This film is a lot of fun and rarely scary. It's a cross between Evil Dead and CBS's Ghosts.

Will moves to a new home after being dumped by his neglected girlfriend. The new place is infested with a demon who demands a new vessel. And so the torment begins! This comedy/horror movie falls short of laughs and jump scares are almost inexistent.

Definitely lands somewhere between a C- and B+ for comedy horror. Funny and entertaining, but strangely stupid in a satisfying way.
