The tone of this movie is all over the place; it is an absurdist collage of genres that never capitalises on any single one to great effect. It's both fantastically shot while being absolute drivel, it's a complete whiplash in quality from one facet to the next. Not once was I sure what type of response this movie was trying to illicit from me. Was I supposed to laugh at the absurdity of it all? Enjoy the annoyingly well shot action sequences? Be scared by the slow building horror scenes? Chuckling from the poor acting and terrible script work?
Either James was shooting to make The Room of horror movies as his return to the genre, or something here went horribly wrong. Or it'll become a cult classic _because_ of how stupid it is. What a wild ride, and sadly not one I can say I enjoyed. The Saw references were a nice touch though.
