A movie so bland and forgettable it hardly merits a groan from the Frankensteiny butler called Lurch,strongly suggests that directors Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon deserve little credit for 2016's, the hit they directed for writers/producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Even an ounce of that film's unpredictable edge would be welcome here, in what is, after all, a story relying on subversion of conventional values.
We meet Lurch as he's being hit by a getaway car.
That's a problem for the nearby town of Assimilation, a manufactured community run by design-TV celebrity Margaux Needler . Needler has just built a development full of cookie-cutter houses, and needs to sell them immediately or go bankrupt. Somehow, she never realized that the haze-shrouded hill right outside town was home to neighbors who would totally wreck her town's vibe.
