Rating: 
So bad it’s good? Maybe. So good it’s bad? Definitely. Don’t Panic lives somewhere in that magical wasteland between incompetence and inspiration. It’s a low-budget Nightmare on Elm Street clone dressed up as a Mexican telenovela, complete with demon-summoning rich kids, fractured families, psychic gore, and Jon Michael Bischof looking absolutely magnificent in dinosaur pajamas. The movie’s attempts at adolescent trauma are laughably heavy-handed, but its sheer weirdness is hard to resist. A gloriously tacky nightmare that finishes with one of the most spectacularly awful theme songs imaginable.
