Pulp Modern: Die Laughing

Reminded me a lot of 1980s movies like Creepshow and Nightmares. Five stories--a slasher, a possessed mirror, a guy who's bullied gets revenge, a foul-mouthed bird, and a wife with curious culinary tendencies. It's all held together by the story of a DJ getting harassed and stalked while reading the magazine this movie is apparently based on. Will definitely have to buy a copy of the magazine and see if it's as good as the movie. The individual stories are made by different writers and directors. The whole thing comes together in the end. There is humor throughout, the first and fourth stories being the funniest. Not a bad way to spend an evening.

Pulp Modern, Die Laughing is an anthology that is completely gonzo. Tightly scripted, well-shot, and deftly edited, this collection of over-the-top horror tales is a crazy fun romp that keeps you entertained from start to finish.

While it certainly leans into the gross and grotesque, it does so in a playful and fun manner, making the experience enjoyable rather than off-putting. The production values are impressive, and the visual feast is a testament to the exceptional pandering to the pulp genre, reminiscent of Creepshow.

As someone who isn't typically a fan of this genre, I found myself surprisingly delighted by this anthology. The first segment, a Wile E. Coyote-style horror, is priceless and sets the tone for the wild ride that follows.

Overall, Pulp Modern, Die Laughing is a blast and a must-watch for anyone who appreciates high-energy, well-crafted horror with a playful twist. Even if you're not usually a fan of this genre, this anthology might just win you over with its charm and creativity.

I can't get over how much fun this film is! This film is horror-comedy, the hilarious send-up of slasher tropes, featuring a killer who just won't die, despite the best efforts of the surviving heroine. The banter among the campers is both witty and absurd, making for some laugh-out-loud moments that poke fun at modern youth culture. I loved how it felt like a commentary on today's overly cautious attitudes while still delivering genuine thrills.

The film really shines in terms of production quality, However, the standout segment for me was definitely Cocky. Featuring a young man and his demonically possessed cockatoo, this part had me in stitches.

Overall, Pulp Modern: Die Laughing is a wild ride that embraces its R-rated chaos with gusto. It's refreshing to see a film that doesn't shy away from pushing boundaries while genuinely aiming to entertain. If you're looking for a mix of gore, laughs, and a touch of nostalgia, this film is a must-see. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good horror-comedy that knows how to have fun!

Alec Cizak's Pulp Modern: Die Laughing is a pretty entertaining horror anthology. It has a nice mix up of horror movie genres, we get an amusing take on a slasher movie where its almost impossible to kill the killer, a darkly comedic story about a mirror connecting to hell, and a fun look at why you should never commit adultery. I think the stories themselves are put together nicely and I can really appreciate the use of practical effects over CGI (which is here and for the most part works though there are some rough sections). I like the idea of having this told to us as various stories in a pulp magazine that a radio DJ is reading who also is having their own horror experience. I wish certain things had tied together a bit better but what we get is a breezy fun time. I recommend it if you are looking to get your horror fix with something new.

Horrific fun, with an appropriate indie vibe. It's an anthology, just like the long-running digest fiction magazine it's based on. The unifying element is the host of a late night radio show, Mr. C, who queues up each new story. (Incidentally, Mr. C really is a radio host.) The film is loaded with easter eggs if you're into Pulp Modern and its brethren, like the now defunct Switchblade magazine. (Note Mr. C's letter opener.) Great fun, with clever plotting, solid direction, fine performances, and remarkably good production values. Okay, now let's see one of the streaming services sign these guys up for a series!
