I'm a big fan of meta comedy horror. Movies like Popcorn, Unmasked pt 35, ect. I went into this with very high hopes. Mike, our protagonist, is autistic with a special interest in horror movies. This as a concept is fine. The problem comes from that he is written like a self insert. He is the ONLY one that notices that something is going on and his friend bully him for it. Feel bad for him. He also is written like an Ash Williams knockoff. He is a "nice guy" in a hypersexual movie AND he makes quips. Speaking of hypersexual, yes people have sex in this movie but I'm not talking about that. I'm taking about how the monster rapes woman. Unlike Evil Dead, it is not done well. First off their is no comments mentions of rape and the only lose of autonomy metaphor os the woman being possessed also like evil dead. They dont really lampshade it or nothing and it leaves me feeling yucky. Yucky not in the way rape (or implied rape i guess) shoud make me feel.
Also imo all the characters are either flat or obnoxious.
