It's a mess, but I loved it. I went in with no preconceptions so the dark turn was great. and yes it was musical the whole way without being a musical, content and the rhythm and pacing and editing style. the dancing scenes were really good, even vampire riverdance. on paper id be disgusted but thye made it eerie and funny at the same time. could have been awful, wacky, cheesy but they treaded the line. dont know what jokes you're referring to but i think a little comic tone gave the whole thing bouyancy and flexibility and allowed all kinds of strangeness to occur while you just go along for the ride
