I love it when a slasher movie can poke fun at itself. While I agree that it was marketed as a darker flick, I was pleased that it went the tongue and cheek route. I think as a horror comedy it succeeded b/c of the good writing and acting - I'm glad the director went out and spent some money on decent comedic actors. The only thing I was disappointed w/ was that towards the end it the movie tried to turn the corner as a darker horror movie, but I was still laughing at Deon's line: "That sounds about as fun as a bag of dicks!" Even though Louie C.K. said it first it's still a great phrase.
