I saw that this is advertised as a 80's type slasher, so I tuned in. The acting and the wife's clothing reminded me of the artificial acting in Mullholland Drive. In that movie, the artificiality served to separate the main character's fake life from her real life.
Here it was lack of knowledge about what natural acting is. The lines were sprightly spoken and emphasized. It so reminded me of watching plays put on by middle school students.
The wife was a modern day June Cleaver. Dressed perfectly and with coordinating dress and sweater to bake cookies. Perfect makeup that changed with the scenes (where was continuity?). High heels.
The daughter had an odd habit of looking off screen before speaking. I guess she was being fed her lines or something.
Maybe this kind of stilted acting would have worked if the plot was interesting.
