while the adults freeze up like garden statues, astrid is the one reading the room and pulling everyone out of the MacArthur park ceremony. survival by paying attention, oldest trick there is. this isn't a slasher and doesn't pretend to be, so i'll grade it on its own terms. delores stapling herself back together is the closest thing to body horror and she's the most committed monster in it. keaton and ryder are clearly having a blast, the rain-cake number is a real swing, and the gross-out gags reach more than they land. fun, baggy, never scary. astrid: A. the film: a solid B.

the afterlife runs a soul train to process the dead and it's a better evac than most outbreak films manage. orderly queue, clear signage, a conga line to the great beyond. respect. the shrunken-head desk sergeant is doing more comms work than half the people i've graded this year. delores wanders around stapling her own torso back together and nobody sets a perimeter, which is the one real failure. betelgeuse is a containment breach you summon ON PURPOSE, baffling tactics from the deetz family. astrid is the only one with a working exit plan. Perimeter: D, the door to the dead just stays open. Evacuation: B+.
