The film's tension relies on keeping the viewer guessing, balancing on the fine line between comedy and horror.

The film is generally lighthearted in tone, though there are a few shocking moments. The movie operates onscreen like a romantic comedy, only pulling out its horror elements during the peak moments of the film. The humor is more placed in the affability of Mike Myers as a comedic everyman. In a lot of ways it's easy to sympathize with his plight. Much of the film's humor relies on Charlie not knowing whether or not Harriet is the killer.

Like movies such as An American Werewolf in London, the plot line infuses the horror as kind of an inflection to what is at its heart a funny premise.
