Out of the Dark
Out of the Dark just might be the single maddest comedy in existence, running the gamut of all known genres and tones that we as a species have conceived so far — jumping from supernatural horror to wacky fantasy to Marx Brothers-esque slapstick to deliciously violent splattersploitation to macabre haunted house shenanigans over the course of maybe a minute, for just about every minute of its breakneck, reality-defying 80 minute runtime. Unfortunately its humour is a big swing and a miss, leaning more in the direction of abrasive, confrontational, in-your-face style absurdism, a hard type of comedy to get right. But there's no denying how delirious this film is, and the commitment to just keep going with a bit until it straight up doesn't make any fucking sense is admirable. If you miss the lunacy of early Sam Raimi or Peter Jackson, you'll feel at home here.

A fucking insane movie which at times is really funny and sometimes too much for me.
