If not, then his acting skills are lacking or the Director, Vincent Mascaile, had a warped vision for this movie. The character is very annoying and rather humourless, if he was to resemble snot-girl from The Blair Witch Project then Lucas Neff does a fantastic job of creating a lead character you're just praying and hoping to be killed. He's such a fan he takes his girlfriend to haunted houses on Date Night and predicts when and where the scares are going to come while laughing continuously. What you have is a sound premise a horror fan who has become desensitised to horror. It tries so hard, too hard, to be worthy of cult status, it's so evident it's trying though, it just turns out to be very trying. This movie falls solidly into that category. Not all independent films are good or worthy of cult status. So yeah can't say I liked it very much, it's directed by a guy called Vincient Masciale and although he didn't get it right this time I wouldn't write him off completely and he could quite possibly learn from the mistakes he did with this one. He's not bad per se, but it's a fairly ungrateful part he was given as the best friend of the douchebag in the lead. But none of the cast really impresses if I'm gonna be honest, not even Chris Marquette whom I usually like. There are some semi-clever homages to other horror films, the Saw one had a great set up but again slightly ruined by the lead character's personality. Our lead man is incredibly obnoxious and annoying and often ruins scenes that could have been somewhat suspenseful by cracking various jokes etc and being over-enthustiastic about everything. It's a horror-comedy, packed with jokes that 99% of them fall flat to the ground as they aren't funny at all. I don't really know what to say about this movie as there is not a whole lot to say.
