Bad editing + bad writing + bad plot = awesome movie

This is one of those train-wreck movies that you can't stop watching.

The "plot" is incoherent.

The motivation of the killer is borderline unclear.

The editing is so choppy and slap dash it makes the whole movie unintelligible.

Many of the victims could EASILY overcome the villain and the villain's lame piece of glass turned weapon

KIND OF A SPOILER...

The villain makes mention of some sort of uncontrollable alter ego to the villain's love interest, yet said love interest NEVER says "What are you talking about? Who is this other person?"

How did the villain have an Aussie accent as a child and then as an adult have an American accent?

Why is she never a suspect in the murders despite being the only one left alive apart from the male lead in the play? And at the end she even kills him yet turns up to attend another audition. The police don't even suspect her? This film has more holes than Swiss cheese!
