I saw it last night and was just coming here to post about it.
Wasn't impressed. Lots of flickers of interesting ideas about the alienation of those making decisions involving violence and death, reality TV, and breaking the fourth wall and addressing the process of making and watching horror films. But none of them really came to fruition, I thought it kind of fell between the stools of being funny, being scary, and being clever and didn't come through with any really.
Thought Troll Hunter did the funny horror thing much much better, and Funny Games the whole viewer interaction and expectation thing.

Disappointed.
