I really liked this. Seth Rogen can be hit or miss with me but I liked this oddball comedy about a immigrant Jewish man who gets pickled or brined for a few decades and wakes up to realize his family is all gone and his only descendant is a schmutz.

This was a wacky demon-haunted horror. The script was terrible and the acting but I don't know, I kind of liked it. I guess I'm hard up for horror and it kind of hit the spot. It was an Oculus wanna-be but didn't.
