Uh-oh, my mom has just put on Lavalantula. She's a big fan of "so bad it's good" movies (one of her favorites being Sharknado).
So far, I think this movie is trying too hard to be both scary and funny at the same time. Not like it's trying too hard to mix them, like it's trying too hard to be scary at the same time that it's trying too hard to be funny.
how can something be funny AND scary??
oh this is where my brother or sister or XH would look at me, as if to say i fulfill that paradox..
There's a whole genre of "horror-comedy." Things like
Scary Movie and
A Cabin in the Woods. They're presented more like horror, in my experience, but there's also a good bit of stuff thrown in that's supposed to be funny.
