Time has been kind to this movie.
This was not bad at all.
In fact, it was really damn good. It's important to know before going in that this is NOT a comedy, this is a psychological horror film. I can see it not working for some as aTime has been kind to this movie.

I can see it not working for some as a comedy. The jokes don't always land and the comedy is by far the weakest aspect of the film. It does however make up for it with it's insanely dark horror elements. It's really good as a horror film.
It's kind of a deconstruction of Jim Carrey's classic comedic persona. If we met any person like the characters he plays in real life, they would be pretty scary dudes. It can get very geniunely disturbing.
