Saw it last night. Canada did not pick it up as a regular distributor, so caught it at a small repetory theater, and it was totally packed, line around the block (we got there early, we're smart!).
It wasn't what I thought at all. It's a fairly quiet movie, but extremely well-done. It's comedy horror, but not overly campy. It's a step up from the Evil Dead stuff as far as goofiness, and a step down from the ED gore. It's not action packed (octagenariens don't make for big fight scenes), but the comedy side keeps it going.
Oddly sweet, really funny, with even a few good attempts at true horror, fairly decent makeup, I would recommend it to anyone just for the experience of something different.
