More of a true horror movie than most reviews let on.

Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2015)

I was hoping for a horror-comedy along the lines of "Shawn of the Dead", but instead this movie is much closer to a straight up horror movie, albeit with a clever plot and some comedic elements and witty bits.
I don't care that much for horror movies, although I am up on what goes on in the genre, so I think I got all of the jokes and references in this one. It's meta and satire in the same way as the "Scream" franchise, but I feel it was much harsher in terms of horror effects and plot.
If you are into horror movies, I'm guessing that you're going to love this film, but it's just not my thing. I am still rating it highly, because I have to grant that it was very well done and an unexpected twist on conventional horror movies, and I can't quite say I regret watching it.
