    Because October is scary season, I feel like Sam Rami fills this niche perfectly. Drag Me to Hell (2009) is peak Rami rom-com.

      Wild movie!

      Please don’t read the spoiler if you haven’t seen it.

      What it's really about:

      She has an eating disorder. Notice all the horror involves things going into or out of her mouth? Notice horror occurs every time food is on screen? She’s hallucinating, losing her hair and catching nose bleeds because she’s malnourished. Crazy shit happens and somehow the people around her don’t comment on it, because she’s seeing shit.

        Yeah, I called it a rom-com because…

        Spoiler

        Her boyfriend believed her and was there for her, he just didn’t know how to help. Also parts of that movie were hilarious.

          Oh god…

          When...

          the goat busted out talking I was half scared, half laughing.

          Excluding horror science fiction, it’s probably my favorite in the genre.
