It's a parody, partially, of the style of showing raw video material; which is edited into the body of the regular movie style; that makes it partially a comedy, interviewing local "real" people and it's done rather well. The main horror movie plot is also done well involving a "no nonsense sheriff", a "creepy town historian" and what analyzing those bodies causes, leading to our characters disappearing one by one but done much better than "one of those "lame slasher movies" as one of the characters points out, where she "would be so dead by now" instead of as in this movie with more plot structure, development and continuity.
