I'm not at all a slasher movie fan, but for some reason I had to see this. I think it was because of the comedy overtones I read about. I must say it is definately funny. I really enjoyed the comedy approach as the movie went on. I was reminded of the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness series(you'll see). As for the senseless gore...I could've done without most of it. However, they did a pretty good job on the blood, make-up and special effects.
