Sightseers
Why this pick
Its cheery, awkward romance and mundane British road-trip texture make the escalating violence feel perversely funny, while keeping sympathy uncomfortably close to its damaged leads.

02
The Loved Ones
Why this pick
A candy-coloured suburban nightmare with blackly comic bite, balancing emotional damage, heightened horror and a boldly stylised shift from ordinary teen life into grotesquerie.
03
Excision
Why this pick
Its vividly unpleasant fantasies and painfully sincere central performance similarly blur inner turmoil with lurid horror, using dark comedy to make an unstable viewpoint strangely affecting.
04
The House That Jack Built
Why this pick
For the appeal of a killer narrating himself as sensitive and rational: it is a far harsher, more provocative black comedy built around self-justification, morbidity and absurdity.

May
Why this pick
A lonely misfit’s longing for connection gradually becomes unsettling in this off-kilter character horror, with a tender, awkward emotional core beneath its escalating macabre behaviour.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is an upbeat man who works at a bathtub factory, and lives in a modified apartment above a bowling alley with his dog, Bosco, and his cat, Mr. Whiskers. Jerry is a schizophrenic who chooses not to take his medication and enjoys delusions and hallucinations that manifest in the form of his pets talking to him. Bosco often represents his good intentions while Mr. Whiskers represents his more violent nature. Jerry has a workplace crush on an English woman named Fiona. She stands him up to go to a karaoke party with two other women from work, Lisa and Alison. Fiona's car doesn't start, leading her to flag down Jerry as he drives by. Jerry accidentally hits a deer which crashes through his windshield. Jerry's hallucinations show the deer convincing Jerry to cut his throat. Jerry does as told. Fiona, terrified, runs off into the woods. Jerry chases her to explain but ends up tripping over Fiona, and accidentally stabbing her. As Fiona starts gurgling blood, Jerry tearfully apologizes for hurting her and that he loves her. To end her pain, Jerry stabs her again, and she dies.
