Vicious Fun
We're going to have a lot of fun tonight.
Directed by Cody Calahan
Produced by Black Fawn Films, Particular Crowd
A darkly comedic slasher spoof that mines absurdist humor from the collision between a cynical film critic and a support group of serial killers, balancing genuine threat with irreverent 80s-inflected fun.
Joel, a caustic 1980s film critic for a national horror magazine, finds himself unwittingly trapped in a self-help group for serial killers. With no other choice, Joel attempts to blend in with his homicidal surroundings or risk becoming the next victim.
