OK, the movie was OK. But what is all that hype about. Let's be serious for a moment. The gore was fine, some of the characters were fun, the setting was creepy and the movie showed boobs galore! But besides that the movie isn't really impressing. The background-story involving the monster, slasher whatever is very dull, the jokes are hit-and-miss most of the time and there is no tension or suspense or whatever. Sorry, the movie didn't worked on me as a kind of flashback to the old 80's slashers, 'cause these movie at least tried to take itself serious and tried to build up some tension (ok, most of the time they failed, but they did in a fun way). Here they go once more for cheap laughs then for thrills. So after all it was nothing spectacular, just one more parody on the genre, like "severance", the far more clever "behind the mask" and a lot of other similar movies. Surely not the reinvention of the genre as a lot of nerds seem to see it.
