742349, If you don't think this movie is intentionally off-the-wall...

As if the *very first scene* doesn't project tonally exactly what they're going for?

... yeah, we have very, very different reads on this movie, lol. The humor, especially in the last third, is 1000% intentional. They're not playing it for dark gritty horror, they're playing it for over-the-top entertainment and audience cheers.

Wan wasn't sitting there going, "and then Gabriel throws the chair across the police station and hits the cop, that will be incredibly scary!" He was going, "lol, give him a chair throw on some wrestler shit, fuck yeah." And he was right, my theater absolutely went bonkers.
