Solid review, Lars. I pretty much feel the same way you do. I've never been a fan of Eli Roth at all and I've tried to be... but this was clearly a nod to late 70's/ early 80's shock gore films and should be graded accordingly. The awkward dialogue and stupid characters are clearly intentional and mimic those old school character types.
And I agree about the body paint on the lead female, it did have an iconic look to it. If this film gains an audience over the years, that image will definitely stick out.
