Hilarious Killer

He just kept jumping about like some sort of gymnastic ninja. While watching some of the killing scenes, and how terrible he was at actually killing, I wondered if it was meant to be a comedy. I am a big horror movie fan, and was very disappointed that after an hour of mostly boring exposition we got a jumpy ballet dancer vibe as a killer.

kind of works since the killer is just a teenage boy. not someone trained or someone who has even done it a long time. made since that he wasn't too polished in the end.

You can see evil Leslie in Creepshow.

and how terrible he was at actually killing

I'd say he was pretty good at killing seeing as he got quite a few victims. If he was terrible at killing they'd all have gotten away with a few minor scratches at worse.

it adds to the "charm", if you will.
