Plot: When Mimi and Luke are playing in their backyard, they dig up an ominous-looking device. They pry a crystal loose, which sets free one of the universe's strongest and most evil creatures. But it has to obey the bearer of the crystal, which happens to be Mimi. She quite enjoys the idea of having a supervillain at her disposal.

Power Rangers meets 80s USA horror. Yes, this film is overtly and willingly cheesy, I'd even say it is a comedy first, horror film second. There are some amusing scenes and the atmosphere is light and breezy, but the comedy isn't all that, and not everything works as well as it should.
Mimi's character's a bit of a miss, so is Psycho Goreman. The other creatures are more fun, the battles are cute, and there are some gory moments. To be fair, it's an easy watch that is properly paced and doesn't overstay its welcome, but I'd take Dupieux's alternate version over this one every time. Amusing, but it doesn't quite hit the mark.
