I really liked it too. It's a very divisive film -- a lot of things to hate, whether it be unevenness in tone, buffoonery by Depp's character which some might consider Kevin Smith sabotaging his own film, the sheer dislikability of Long's character, or of course, the whole walrus thing, which some viewers -- especially fans of the Clerks variety -- might not be able to stomach. For me, the whole spectacle is a guilty pleasure, and I actually currently have it ranked as my #3 favorite horror-ish film of 2014.

I don't do well with 'wording' and you captured my thoughts on this film. It's like you want to hate it but you can't for whatever reason; as a huge Kevin Smith fan, this was something out of his realm but he captured something that people will talk about for a long time. It was rather twisted but for many horror fans, it has the 'wtf am I watching but enjoying' response. Did you listen to the recorded conversation playing through the credits? It was Kevin Smith and some other guy discussing the film, it was rather amusing. I still can't get that image of the Justin Long walrus out of my head!!
