I recall the whole thing having an off-kilter tone and sensibility that kept me oddly engaged throughout. Been too long to articulate why. I also love how stupid looking the slasher is.
Normally, this sounds like something I would say.
This is a rare instance where I found all of the banter leading up to be shockingly uneventful. I guess it is off kilter, which is probably why I described it as 'hilariously boring' because the dialogue and the acting is so off the hook awful, and meandering, it almost becomes trance inducing.
The last stretch though makes the whole thing worth it. And as a whole, it ends up sort of working for me, that dull prelude leading to a Valhalla of stupidity. And that last comment that women in the mask hurls at the final girl had me howling for about five minutes.

I final jump scare where the disfigured villain, still in her mask, jumps into frame to scream "I'll kill you, you bitch", before being led away in handcuffs by the cops. Beautiful.
