Chompy & the Girls

Chompy & The Girls is a big surprise, in a good way. If you have watched the trailer, you'll probably expect yet another jump scare movie or a story loosely inspired by Michael Myers (Halloween), but it's much better than that. The movie is smarter than to rely on classic horror tropes and that creepy character is not your average slasher either. Let's address the elephant in the room, this is a low budget movie. But there are many clever things to hide this without taking away from the film. The only real low point is the "battle" at the end suffering from the lack of funds, that could only be described as fighting a ghost in front of a green screen. This is the only scene that really needs more budget, because for the rest of the film, this issue is not obvious. The story is taking you in various directions that would be too much of a spoiler if they were featured in the trailer, instead you should be intrigued by this character (Chompy) with a giant mouth and feel the urge to watch the movie.
