Doesn't hold up
This movie seemed clever back in 96 because the 90s had been such a dry period for horror. Watching it now, the constant patting itself on the back and winking at the audience is just distracting. It has none of the charm or spirit of the movies it claims to be commenting on and, when you get right down to it, all the conclusions it makes about the slasher movies are actually wrong. Really painful movie to watch in 2020. Smug, "meta" nonsense.
