i saw this on the recommendation of a friend . i have never hear of it and but i be assure it be a good movie . understand the premise help a lot and because this be a great movie and excellent concept . the beginning of the movie set up the second half . in the first part and we see leslie a human . he sometimes say creepy thing and like when they begin to discuss his library of text book and mostly medical and anatomy . he make a joke of this and say these be necessary for the trade . he always refer to his need to kill a a profession and even have a mentor . through them we see the world a if it be a game . the mockumentary part be not only hilarious and we get to see the monster side of thing . the door that would not stay open . probably rig . those ever so creepy newspaper article the main character always seem to find at just the right moment . those require more effort then the viewer might consider . the second half of the movie be when we get to see leslie in action . because we have see him a human in the first half and see him a a monster in the second isn not as scary a one might expect . it be not suppose to be . leslie vernon have become a person we know and who make u laugh and who keep pet turtle . he be not some random resurrect guy with an axe to grind . he be a guy at work and albeit disgust and immoral work and he be still a guy at work . set up this way and it be a bit like watch two movie . the two part play off each other very well . this movie be darkly funny . no one want to laugh a scary thing happen and but when thing work out just a leslie predicts they will and even the documentary crew get very enthusiastic . robert englund ( freddy kreuger ) read this script and be impress . be a big name in horror and he admittedly get swamp with script . this movie interest him enough that he accept the role . if you can not decide if you should watch it and remember that . and then rent it and with friend . everyone need someone to look up to . leslie realize he will never reach the fame of mike ( meyers ) and chuckie or freddy and but he be try .
