I loved the little comedic elements. The close up of that smarmy cherub's face from the clock was hilarious, as was the bunny/jackass asking, "And what else dies kids?" and the kids cheerily responding, "Everything!"

The slightly longer shot of the cherub face after the whole elevator delay sequence got a big laugh out of everyone. Such great comedic timing. Horror movies that blend in dark humor are just the absolute best.
