Thank you for bringing this up! I'm a little late to the discourse since I watched the movie two days ago, but I've seen a lot of heated arguments about people acknowledging the (darkly) comedic elements of the film while analyzing the more dramatic and often horrific elements. I love when movies can play with genre and bring up a slew of complex emotions in the viewers in order to tap into complicated, painful experiences and their implications. I found the viewing experience deeply unsettling but I was unable to look away. I can totally see the elements of camp while sympathizing with people who were too horrified or upset to laugh.
