It's a love it/hate it writing style. Yeah, you're right about it not really being a horror. It has horror elements but it's more of a Heathers-style comedy, I guess! Oh, I definitely agree.

I loved it, taking it in the other-worldly sense of Brick-style language twisting. It was enjoyable fun, silly and mostly pointless. On a second watch, I feel 7 skulls may be a little generous, but that's how I felt when I first watched it. And as I said... really not a horror...

And as I said… really not a horror…

I watched it last night and it was enjoyable enough but I really can't get on board with Diablo Cody's scripting. I don't think she's nearly as clever as she thinks she is and I'm probably too old for all the 'teen speak'. It's as if she's watched Clueless over and over and decided to make her own version of that awful Valley Girl slang. That being said, I didn't hate Megan Fox nearly as much as I'd expected to. She was actually kind of watchable. I really didn’t get on with this. I watched it last night and it was enjoyable enough but I really can’t get on board with Diablo Cody’s scripting.
