Was The Director Serious?

Warning: Spoilers
That's what threw me off.

The natural assumption is that the Director is serious. So, not long into the movie, I turned the thing off, thinking that the movie sucked. Terribly acted and stupid, with the lead actress doing her Nancy Kerrigan impression, wailing 'Why me?' But, the next night I turned it back on, wondering if it would get any better. It didn't. It got worse. That's when it occurred to me - This is brilliant. It's a parody, but you're not supposed to know it. Kind of like The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, but more subtle. I wrestled with this thought throughout the whole movie - What if it's not intended to be bad on purpose? Then, I'm an idiot for watching it. But, what if, just what if it's intended to be the worst movie ever made? Then, that makes me the smart one for getting it and and forcing myself to watch it, kind of like Alex in A Clockwork Orange.

I then watched the credits at the end, so I would know who to blame. Interestingly, they never ended. They're still rolling. Check it out. Don't watch the movie. Just watch the credits.

One more thing - Next time you are trying to get out of the woods and there is only one way out and an infected zombie is in your way, drive around him or run him over.
