Let's be honest here, modern horror movies are ridiculous and stupid. Just about every idea has been used and every new release is just a recycled bag of gimmicks to get the target audience of thrill and gore junkies back out to the theaters.
Thank the lord for CitW. Not only does it poke fun at its lame contemporaries with its self-awareness and farcical caricatures, but it manages to go a step beyond by rejecting and turning away from the same tired old premises and then blows everything up into an over the top circus that would make Frank Capra proud.
Whereas it was funny and clever in the first two acts, the ending kicks everything into overdrive by giving you everything you thought you weren't going to get, like a spoiled kid whose parents threatened he wouldn't get any presents for xmas, but then - BOOM! Look at all these boxes under the tree!
So anyone who finds this to be lacking is either a person too stiff to know that life is meant to be enjoyed, or someone who probably wants the adrenaline rush of being attacked and mauled by a redneck zombie slasher in real life. Otherwise, for the rest of world, this an enjoyable flick.
