However, some critics note that the film loses momentum in its second act when the action moves to a police station. The humor becomes broader, and the satirical edge occasionally blunts as it leans into more traditional "stupid cop" tropes. Despite this, the film regains its footing for a gory, satisfying climax that lives up to its title.

A critical turning point in the film is the introduction of Carrie (Amber Goldfarb). Initially presented as just another member of the group, Carrie is revealed to be a "killer of killers." She serves as a hardened, modern evolution of the classic "Final Girl." Unlike Joel, who views horror through a theoretical lens, Carrie is a woman of action. The dynamic between the bumbling Joel and the lethal Carrie drives much of the film's second half, shifting the tone from a tense "who’s the imposter" scenario into a full-blown survival action-comedy.
