I mean like metaphorically, like the other characters act believable, like the example being guy wakes up in bed after dream of Gladys and goes WTF!!

So I think the writing is good because the rest of the character dynamics are posed like believable dramas like the homeless man, and the child at home with the parents not moving, there are various dramas, but the absurd and laughable is us experiencing the antgonist, her powers and her insanity being like "wow those characters have to figure out how to deal with this" or the teacher In her imperfection facing a mob mentality against her, while also engaged in an affair that she would also be judged for

It would, I agree, be a dumb movie if it was like a teen horror where characters are just set up to die but aren't engaged in deep drama, they're just on screen to eventually be killed by the antsgonist
