Tones: absurdist, darkly comic, humorous
A group of sex-hungry gal pals in Halloween costumes tear through a drug-fueled party, crossing every line of decency with escalating commitment toward a gross-out finale. Fast-paced WTF comedy that takes revenge on the genre it inhabits.

Described as having 'a gross out finale for the ages.' That's a recommendation, not a warning. John Waters taught us this is a term of art.
A drug-fueled Halloween romp with a gross-out finale is exactly as advertised — the WTF mode has its constituency but it's far from the curatorial register I'd push hardest for.
Weaponizes the gross-out genre against itself with a finale described as 'one for the ages' — fast-paced WTF comedy taking revenge on the Halloween-party register it inhabits. Either lands brilliantly or doesn't, no middle ground.
