But if the grandparents are in control, why are they SO overwhelmingly stepfordish, why the weird kinks at night, it's clear from the car that they're distinctly different when they want to be, so why is their default so over the top?

In a world where cameras do that, you do everything you can not to have that happen though.

Very nitpicky, but I don't understand the character. We're to believe that she's the coldest character of them all? They make her into an American Psycho style Huntress by the end of the movie. The second she raises those keys out of the purse she's a unique character from the previous part of the movie. Meanwhile every other character in the family can barely hide their contempt for Chris and all the guests are the party can't stop treating him like a piece of meat. Why is her role so distinctly different from everyone else? If she's so crucial to the entirety of it all, why isn't she in charge? Why is there so little interaction between her and the mother? They're a family where each person serves a specific and complicated role in a massive conspiracy, but they barely interact. How?

It's not that it's not explained, it's that his friend is covered in blood around dead bodies, and somehow he's able to flip that to a joke. A clash in tone.
