Clever in its meta movie aspects, but lacking in consistency. While keeping a good pace and has enough charisma to keep you ignoring logical flaws along the way, the last part becomes a bit too much of a mess and degrades an otherwise good horror movie experience. It is a pity as the core story is not bad and the script holds some interesting twists that keeps even seasoned horror movie aficionados on their toes until the end.
