Is this as bad as the trailer indicates?

For those who have seen this:

The story seemed interesting so I decided to take a look at the trailer... Now I know these can be misleading, but holy crap, it's one of the worst I've seen!! That music completely killed it IMO, and it seemed like some sort of unfunny amateur comedy/horror.

Somehow though, I doubt the actual movie is THAT bad, and some scenes seemed actually interesting. But the too-enthusiastic-to-be-true messages on this board don't help. And the IMDb ratings are pretty high right now, though these can't be trusted either. So, for those who have seen it, what did you think of the movie? Is it worth watching? Or does the trailer pretty much tell the whole story?

Thanks

I hate the trailer, and I considered shutting off the movie after about 20 minutes, but stuck with it and loved it. Give it a try. It gets a bit over-the-top in some parts, but it's a great form of escapism if you're into a bit of surreality and wtfckery :]
