I was shocked by how much I enjoyed this film. The pacing goes quite well between the bloody confrontations and "Oh Sh*t" drama between the characters. They take their time fully developing a few characters so that you actually care about what happens to them, while giving them ample flaws so that their terrible choices don't come out of left field. Getting to know the serial killer was especially intriguing, humanizing him somewhat when he's not in his element, the awkward real-life situations were a good parallel to the menacing silhouette that terrorizes innocent couples.
The comedy, on the other hand,was low key and sometimes very clever. There are a lot of asides to other famous horror movies and some very meta humor if you get all the references. One scene in particular starts at the end of filming the movie in the movie, then transitions into famous scenes from other horror movies before coming full circle. Mind. Blasted.
It's not that scary, it's not outwardly hilarious, but it is THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING and a good *ss time.
