A lot of fun.
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
