Not bad, not great. Mixed bag. More drama than horror
13 July 2015
Horror comedy is one of my absolute favorite genres of movies. If not THE favorite. I love it. If done right the horror makes the comedy funnier, and the comedy makes the horror scarier/cooler.

Burying the ex, I'm afraid, doesn't really succeed all that well. It's not bad, not in any way, actually. It has several things going for it, but it just doesn't, uhm, never really leaps beyond just OK.

Anton Yelchin does a great job, he's a really good actor. And that really adds to the movie, had he been some other less talented guy, the movie definitely would have suffered.

Being vegan myself, I didn't love the tiny stabs at veganism and at being environmentally conscious, although I totally get what the movie is going for. I just wished they didn't use it as a bad thing. Because it's actually a good thing! (but yeah, I get that it can be annoying, especially if it's too much)

I hoped for this movie to be a lot better than I thought it was. There's some cool stuff for sure, but not quite enough. They went another direction than I hoped for. Sort of.

I hoped for more action, more gore, more horror. It's really more like a drama-comedy, with elements of horror, at least for the most part. Too much drama. Yeah.
