The biggest problem is the utterly unbelievable reactions to the action that's going on which doesn't make any sense. Still, there are some problems present here.
Managing to feature some great special effects work for the kills and on the demon itself, there's quite a lot to enjoy. There's even plenty of action into the finale where the fighting becomes quite impactful as the idea of using the romance angle to stop the horror film moments intertwines the two quite nicely. The various confrontations on the possessed actor contain even more violent outbursts as the demonic powers granted provide plenty of brutal and graphic scenes that still retain a comedic edge but are still played seriously enough to be threats to the survivors still left alive. Knowing that the individual is possessed all along and see how it plays out with the severed body lurching around spurting blood everywhere makes the scene rather intense.
The dramatic turning point when the possessed actor turns on everyone and murders the scene-partner in complete astonishment of everyone watching is a fantastic switch. When the film drops the comedy to go for straightforward horror, it's not as enjoyable but still has plenty of positives. The majority of the setpieces with the possessed running through the cast and crew alternate being outright cheesy and just plain silly which makes the finale seem that much more intriguing by mixing together the over-the-top aspects with more reserved setpieces and has a lot to like as a result. The scene of the actor getting overwhelmed by the demon book and possessed is full of overt slapstick comedy and is silly enough to come off far goofier than what's supposed to happen. The comedy here comes from the familiar and expected setups rather nicely and bring some genuine laughs that go hand-in-hand with the outrageous and silly horror sequences. The frantic physical comedy with the characters' clumsiness, the awkwardness of not taking the story seriously and the cliched nature of what the crew is shooting create a wholly enjoyable light-hearted tone. That comes through from the start where the first half focusing on the shooting of the high school-set love story. Generally, this one was a pretty enjoyable horror/comedy. Arriving on the set of his latest project, a man joins the rest of the crew shooting a new high-school teen love story, but when his script for a dark horror film gets loose it possesses the star of the shoot and tries to take over the filming of the project, forcing him to stop his own creation.
