In many ways I think it's parodying those one-dimensional characters of college trope characters and the "last girl" in horror movies because it goes all-in on establishing the main characters as somebody you're meant to hate at first. It's trying to win any academy awards here. I admit the characters are a bit one-dimensional, but again, it's a slasher movie. I was fully expecting it to be all the tropes of gross-out killings, but it was instead focused more on character development and the story. I was actually surprised it held back on gore and blood. This movie wasn't trying to be anything more than another murder movie, but what made me want to see it was the idea of taking Groundhog Day (which it fully admitted to ripping the idea from) and turning it into a slasher film. I'm rating it based on what I expected, and I was certainly impressed. I think people going to see this movie are expecting wayyyy to much from a slasher movie.
