Yes, I love the tonal switches. That is brilliant. But allowing the characters to keep doing the dumbest thing possible, is distancing. Also, it contains many plot holes. I don't require constant explanations, but...
1) Who built the tunnels?
2) Who is The Mother. All of those tapes.
3) ALL of Detroit was booked for a convention?
4) Flashback was 1980 - how many "generations" could be fostered, since then? (Granted, the scenario probably started much sooner than 1980.)
5) Who was the neighborhood "watchdog" guy? WHY would he stay there?
6) WHO survives a gunshot wound, and a fall from a likely six-story water tower?
The raving Rotten reviews, fascinate me. Yeah, the director grabbed a bit of "Psycho," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Blair Witch," etc. WHY are the critics FAWNING over this?
And, yes, it %$#@ bothers me, that I had to Google, while sitting in the theater, to see if there happened to be, an extended after-credit sequence.
Once again...the characters kept doing the most idiotic things, to extend the plot.
Meh.
