I was loaned this film on DVD by a friend, and would advise anyone else of the warning he gave me: don't be put off by the first ten minutes. After that, the film offers laughs and scares in pretty much equal measure, and throws in Obi-Wan Kenobi for kicks (but the soothing voice of the Jedi Master does come off as incongruous). Overall, I enjoyed the movie, but felt that it was not sure what it wanted to be, as it never committed to horror or comedy, but in flirting wholeheartedly with both, didn't seem to be a horror-comedy either. There was enough mileage in there for a highly effective thriller, but losing the comedy (wait for the devastation of Billy's apartment!) would also seem a shame, so I guess sticking with the schizophrenia works.
