How Not Very Normal Activities scares

It starts off mimicking the shaky, static-camera setup of a found-footage haunting movie, then quickly turns into a silly spoof that pokes fun at those tropes instead of playing them straight. Any scares are played for laughs rather than real dread, with exaggerated jumps and absurd situations instead of building tension. The supernatural stuff is mostly a punchline, and the whole thing leans on raunchy, goofy comedy more than fear. It's a good pick if you want to laugh at horror movie clichés rather than actually get scared.
