While not a total train wreck, I get your point,, do not spend money on this film,, I didn't (downloaded from "Thepiratebay"
The acting was decent, the writing (as far as character development) was pretty good.
But this is not a movie that succeeds on any level.
It does not succeed as a comedy
It does not succeed as a horror movie
It does not succeed as a suspense thriller
It does not succeed as a combination of any of the above.
A dark comedy (which this is billed as) should be about 40% comedy 60% dark material ,,or vice versa
This was more like 10/90
so it fails really across the board.
Not funny enough to be comedy,, not scary enough to be horror,, not suspenseful enough to be a thriller,, and the portions are not at the right levels to be any kind of hybrid.
So while I would not call it an all out train wreck,, it just does not work any any real level.
The ingredients are there for a really good movie, the chef/director just didn't make good use of the ingredients and so the final product was both under and over cooked in all the wrong ways.
