Vince Vaughn, Kathryn Newton

I’m not going to say that the lead actress wasn’t a proper choice. We’ll ascribe it to an old good subjective experience, rather than bad acting from young K.Newton, because it wasn’t really bad at all. On the contrary, it looked very correct and solid.

But since most of the film she plays a maniacal killer, her ‘teenage’ appearance simply ‘catches the eye’, which doesn’t allow her character to portray ‘crazy’, violent and intimidating enough.

To pay less attention for such details, V.Vaughn took care about, as playing high school girl Millie trapped in the body of a serial killer. His ingenious (read: too entertaining) acting was substitute for any possible error in script.

This is the fourth (in a row) successful title of C.Landon in this genre – the man simply knows how to direct horror/comedies. Guided by a proven pattern which is obviously successful – a cute blonde as the protagonist, with team of friends next to her, attacking at villains, whether they were zombies or serial killers.

There are plenty of fun moments, just a few examples are when a man (of almost 2m height) running away from the police was pushed into the back seat of a miniature Chevrolet Aveo; or wondering at the technique of using the ‘new’ genitals, while defecating in the school toilet – in a standing position for a change.

Plot? The confusion was made by Dola – the ancient mystical knife used by the Butcher to wound Millie, and because of that unexpected thing happened… Overnight they swapped bodies, so The Butcher is now ahead of the game using the girl’s body, while the real Millie has to hide and run because she is in the body of the infamous killer.

And the main thing – she has only one day to find the knife and stab The Butcher, otherwise she will remain in that body forever.

It may sound unrealistic at first, but the movie is quite amusing, especially watching two-meter tall Vaughn ‘copying’ the movements and facial expressions of a teenage girl.
