So did everybody miss that this was satire?
I haven't watched the film because I heard how awful it was years ago but I just watch the Kanon films documentary and they covered this movie.
Apparently is was supposed to be stupid and awful because the director never wanted to make horror again, or at least not Leatherface horror, but was contracted to do exactly that.
So they turned it into a satire of the genre, an actress in the documentary said she didn't get how people (especially the producers) didn't know it was a comedy satire, when the poster is intentionally done up to be the Breakfast Club.
And I came on here expecting different in the reviews but aside from a few, there seems to be mostly people pissed at a terribly unscary horror film...and then some proclaiming this is a truly scary movie.
So did everybody miss the cue? Or was it just totally unfunny?
