The film is obviously a not too serious horror film with a lot of comedy stemming from the rather poor acting and production. This was expected though. What really caught me off guard was the sheer length; the movie just did not end and continued and conitnued, especially during the last 30 min or so. A more reduced storytelling would have helped the film to serve as quirky and fun "trash" film; the way it is now, it gets on one's never after a while.
I would like to add though that the overall employment of camera shots as well as most special effects were rather well done keeping in mind the budget of the film - I do see potential here; if there is to be a part two (what the opening ending allows for) I recommend considering a more succinct narrative.

The acting was very realistic - even in an unrealistic plot. The characters, except for the masked man, spoke and interacted just like any ordinary friends or enemies. It did not seem contrived and I found that very refreshing. The humor evolved from these ordinary conversations.
I liked the fact that they spoke in dialect, but thankfully I could still understand it, even though German is not my mother tongue.
The plot had many quirky twists and turns with clever McGiveresque solutions to horrific problems and ingenious special effects. I could envision this as a continuing TV series with many episodes instead of one long movie.
