Hm. I probably expected something different from this movie. Both thematically and visually. It certainly has its good (and funny) scenes. The main character is very likeable. And the tongue in cheek references to slashers are good, too. But the story was weird and too meta for my tastes. And visually this was all over the place, and I was partly really turned off by the CGI and the kitschy landscapes. So, not quite my cup of blood.
