Favorite dark or horror comedies, anyone? While I do love a good dark/horror comedy,
I think the Menu is my #1 pick in the sub genre.
It should be a terrifying situation to be in, especially for the man character, but it's made to be so amusing by the sheer ridiculousness of it all in the first place and I think that's the true beauty of the story. "World class chef has gotten tired of serving the elite to which his food is now meant for"
I mean cmon...what's he gonna do? Put animal crap in food? No? He's gonna invite them all for a private dinner and turn them into human s'mores...bro, what 馃ぃ.
Anya Taylor joy, Ralph fiennes, Nicholas hoult and Hong Chau were amazing and totally pulled this movie together and I really do appreciate a movie that relies on minimal effects, flashiness and especially gore for horror, and relies on performances and the plot itself and this, in my opinion, certainly is one of those movies.
Your thoughts on the menu? Any other fantastic dark comedies you can think of?
