New horror film Rippy features killer kangaroo but lacks humor and engagement

The new horror film "Rippy" features a kangaroo as a killer but lacks the humor found in similar films like "Cocaine Bear." The movie focuses on a sheriff dealing with her father's legacy while investigating bizarre murders. Sheriff Maddie, played by Tess Haubrich, is drawn into a case involving a murderous kangaroo after a local man claims to have seen it. However, she initially suspects a more conventional culprit, leading to a series of unnecessary deaths. Critics note that the film's serious tone and lack of humor detract from its potential. The script fails to deliver engaging dialogue or memorable moments, making it a forgettable entry in the horror genre.
