30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the worst film I’ve ever seen. This “film” is utterly awful, with a mere glance at the box likely telling you everything you need to know.
Humour is subjective, so perhaps it will work for you. But I highly doubt it. I’m not high-brow; a good boob or fart joke will get a giggle out of me, but not even those stalwarts couldn’t get a rise out of me when surrounded by so much tripe. One of the main issues is the jokes often being in poor taste. Check my Instagram and you’ll see all sorts of horrific humour shared between my siblings. But plying a baby with alcohol is not cool. Using Steve Job’s dead body as a joke is not cool. Nothing this film attempts is cool. Attempt implies effort however, and I can’t see any.
The lone bonus feature included with the film goes some way to explaining this shit show. Writer/Director Craig Moss knows that spoof films aren’t de rigueur, but also admits he knows the film is thrown together. Is he trying to keep them out of fashion? As he explains how he watched classic spoof films growing up I can only assume that they traumatized him and he’s looking for revenge.
Maybe he watched Airplane and took offense to the portrayal of inflatable pilots? Perhaps he didn’t like the farts in Blazing Saddles? Maybe he’s railing against Austin Powers imploring us to behave?
There isn’t a hint of affection for the genre, and if he doesn’t care why should we?
To be checking my phone ten minutes in, when the whole thing is only seventy minutes long, should further confirm just how atrocious it is. It’s an absolute chore. A incohesive shoving together or deeply unfunny bits that it could be argued doesn’t even count as a film.
30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It doesn’t even reference all of the films in the title!
