This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Halloween Edition - Horror Comedy

---

Hey it's October again and it's time for the Halloween Edition. Take a look at what's in store for the rest of the month.

October 7 - Halloween Edition: School
October 14 - Halloween Edition: Folk or Urban Legend
October 21 - Halloween Edition: Horror Comedy
October 28 - Halloween/Television Edition: Horror


I'm picking the ones I like from my most recent watches.

Ready or Not (2019)
While the basic premise is in the realm of scary, the violence is so over the top with an ending that is so out of this world that this is so obviously a comedy. One with a sharp wit, where the villains are these dumb bickering overprivileged people trying desperately to hold on to their privilege and a strong final girl that survives them all.

Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)
The movie's a satirical horror thriller set in the pretentious art world and revolves around some cursed paintings. I like it...the movie was really having fun mocking that world.

Colossal (2016)
Colossal has this Godzilla like premise where there's a giant monster stomping around a city that is bizarrely connected to a woman across the world whose life is a complete mess. The first half of this movie is sort of sad funny then it went quite dark in the second half when we meet the real villain of Colossal...one that I did not expect when the character was first introduced.

    1. Colossal...yeah...I totally did not expect that character becoming the eventual villain of the story.
