The main crux of the movie is to keep the viewer in suspense as to whether or not events are truly happening or if this is part of the game. To that extent the movie works.
There is just enough gore to class this as a horror and is centered around an avid fan of the genre, even having him wearing a Freddie Kruger inspired pullover, but I felt this is first and foremost a basic thriller with whatever humour/humor here being lost on me. Maybe it's hipster humour but didn't find it anywhere funny enough to be considered comedy.
Acting was OK for the uncomplicated characters as was the cinematic experience passable for the small stage-sets. All in all I did not find it as awful as some/many other reviews here but as I said earlier i saw this more as a thriller than anything else, with the suspense coming from the thought as to is this part of an act or really happening. The worst to say was that the first 30-40 minutes could have been condensed to ten.
