It's a Joss Whedon-produced horror movie, with everything that that entails. Just have faith. It's brilliant and as good as anything else he's ever done.

I've always thought Joss Whedon's popularity funny. Everything he does in someone else's hands would be awful. The kind of thing that gets put on the CW. Without his instinctual understanding and love of his characters, their dialogue would just be campy and cringe-inducing. Without his mastery of geek culture and his ability to seamlessly combine it with soap opera goofiness, all while somehow turning this Frankenstein-style storytelling into compelling drama... well you wouldn't have anything cause any show that tried would have died a quick and merciful death. And any show or movie that's successfully pulled this off is to some extent ripping him off. I can also name any number of these shows that involve old members of his production company.
And speaking of the Joss, I also hear he was the writer for one of the most acclaimed X-Men comic series of all time. I even saw his run mentioned as one of the greatest comics of all time in general in one list. He's a ****ing Renaissance geek. How is this man so talented?

Les Triplets de Beleville I loved every minute of this film. Imagine a nihilistic Pixar film with French animation and you have this film. I highly recommend this to everyone.

Not only is that a great movie but it has a great soundtrack. I remember the first time I watched it, when it ended I immediately hopped online and ordered the soundtrack I loved it so much.
