Why does horror comedy always seem to be splatter? Every time you hear the term, it's going to be a comedy framed up with some horror tropes, and then some special effects violence thrown in.

Why not psychological horror comedy? Something that titters just on the border of too-silly-to-be-scary but also too-creepy-to-be-funny, the characters are just a little bit too off-the-kilter to be goofily relatable, there's something actually wrong with these people. The vibe and the atmosphere is intolerable but in a way that makes you burst out in tense and nervous giggles.

The film never actually explicitly states what happens to the characters who don't make it, but as much as someone's slip and fall into The Thing is silly on first watch, the more you think about the varying possibilities, the more aware you become that there's literally no option here that wouldn't be a fate worse than death.

You hate this film, you hate it, you hated watching it, but can't unsee it and it lives rent free in your head now. You make your friends watch it - promising it's funny - because you don't want to suffer life with this cursed experience alone.
