People have to realize what they're about to watch before they go into it. The actors are playing exaggerated versions of themselves. It's not meant to be Academy Award winning gold. It's supposed to be ridiculous fun. And it is. I mean, there's a giant ceramic penis. What do you expect? I laughed so much. You just can't take a movie like this seriously. It's purely for stupid laughs.
Don't go into this expecting a ghost story with lots of jump scares, because that's not what you get with this film. Even though there are some creepy scenes, it's more of a gothic romance story. I quite enjoyed it and if you're a fan of Del Torro im sure you'll enjoy it to :)
Damn! I forget how much I love this show, such a good first episode to season 2.
