5/10
No subtly here.

This will be a barely passable review for a barely passable film so I'm going to be brief about this.

A thoroughly unpleasant family is trapped by a pile of intelligent, evil spaghetti from (I can only presume) outer space. It surrounds their house and tricks them into committing unspeakable acts via the television. Nearly everyone dies.

This film is packed with allegory which it delivers with all the nuanced subtly of a brick to the face. Commentary on racism/islamophobia? Yep. Commentary on fake news? There it is! How about something allegorical about the control television exerts over people? The film actually has the television demanding people worship it.

I'm not saying it wasn't mildly entertaining, it was watchable for the 90 minutes it was on, just don't expect me to remember much about it tomorrow. In fact I've nearly forgotten it already. Anyway, excuse me, I have a to go and worship my TV.
