A lot more amusing than I expected
Caught Rites of Passage on Showtime tonight and I was expecting the usual formulaic horror stuff. After viewing, I wouldn't even classify this as a horror movie -- it's more of a dark comedy, like Very Bad Things.
The dialog and characters were surprisingly good. One thing this movie gets 100% right is the way people behave when they're drunk, stoned or tripping. Some of the early stuff ("Who the f@ck is this creeper?" "You look like the lead singer from Weezer!") was pretty funny and laid the groundwork properly for the rest of the film.
The third act was a bit too chaotic and long, and the movie didn't resolve the fates of at least two characters, but overall it wasn't a bad way to spend two hours on a Monday night.
