The plot is ridiculous, the characters are ridiculous and the script is plain silly. This is not to say the movie was bad, but it's beyond me how it's not listed as a comedy/horror, since that seemed to be the intent.
The acting was kind of mediocre, but some of that might be due to how exaggerated their characters were, like their dumb jock and wimpy kid characters were each dialed up to 100, with a mysterious foreigner being somewhere near 1000.
I may have a slight bias, since I almost became a knife salesman myself when I was younger, and the film did a good job at the start showing how silly it felt sitting in one of those rooms, hearing the promise of riches from selling miracle knives door-to-door.
As a horror alone, it was a failure, but as a comedy with a horror theme, it was at least moderately entertaining, keeping me interested enough to finish, and even laugh a few times along the way.
