It's the idea. The idea is incredibly original. You have to really enjoy meta horror to like the flick, though. If you watch it as a straight up slasher, it's not going to work. It's a comedy, satire on horror slashers. But it actually gives insight to how characters interact in this environment, and why they do stupid things.
Cabin In the Woods did a similar thing with it, but they took a different approach. Both work. But BTM is a bit more grounded, and has a nice sense of realism.
The ending does pay off, but not in a "HOLY **** WOW!" but more like "
Huh, this is interesting. "
A lot of people don't like meta horror stuff. So it's all up to preference. I found the movie to be funny as hell, with a lot of great nods to classic horror tropes.
I loved the movie up to the point where the girl
starts to do everything that he said the victim would d. If she already knew all the cliches why do exactly that?
I seriously expected the movie to end differently. I didn't expect for her to do exactly what they were making fun of in the movie.

I like the movie but the end ruins it a little bit because of that
