A teenager's past literally comes back to haunt him in a brisk, darkly comic, and raunchy horror-comedy.
Pulpy, with big broad humor. A late-night trip at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Netflix.
Nothing past what an R promises: a few tense moments and several jump scares.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Two years after defeating a satanic cult led by his babysitter Bee, Cole's trying to forget his past and focus on surviving high school. But when old enemies unexpectedly return, Cole will once again have to outsmart the forces of evil.
