Was this a comedy?
Was this a horror-comedy? I mean the scene in the graveyard was hilarious! and the line after the corn out of all things was stabbed in the man's back "no vegetables, no dessert!" was a big knee slapper as well!
shareI wouldn't necessarily categorize it that way. It was more of a "fun" horror movie. You know, one that would be just plain stupid if it took itself seriously.
shareIt didn't start out as one but it morphed into one.
shareI think this was meant to be a more-or-less serious horror movie-- but enough (exceedingly lame) humor was packed into it to suggest that the intention was for it to be partially an ironic, 'knowing' movie (a la 'Scream' or 'Shaun of the Dead'). Unfortunately, it just doesn't work. It takes itself too seriously to be considered a parody, but it takes itself too lightly to be enjoyed as a hilariously inept attempt at an earnest movie. Not funny, not all that scary or suspenseful, just not a good movie.
shareIf that graveyard scene was better edited to remove a lot of that awkward humor it would end up very effective and brutal. One of these days, I'm going to import the film into Final Cut Pro and try to recut that scene the film.
