Pulp Modern: Die Laughing

"Pulp Modern: Die Laughing" is a thrilling and darkly comedic anthology that brings the gritty essence of the iconic pulp magazines to life. Adulterous L. A. Deejay Mr. C spins five mesmerizing tales of malice and deceit: a millennial slasher, a demonic mirror, the dark half of a literary doomsayer, a satanic parrot, and a vengeful wife scorned. Featuring film adaptations of works by Stephen King, Nicole Bird, and Alec Cizak, this movie is a must-watch for fans of horror and pulp fiction alike.

I found this film to be a nostalgic yet refreshing homage. The series of short stories strung together reminded me of the best of the 80s horror genre, with each segment diving deep into what makes these tales so compelling. "Pulp Modern: Die Laughing" is filled with all the gore, blood, and mayhem you could hope for, while also mixing in some truly hilarious jokes that provide a twisted sense of humor.

This film feels like a darker, edgier version of "The Twilight Zone," where each story keeps you on the edge of your seat and eager for more. The seamless blend of horror and comedy creates an engaging and unforgettable experience. If you're a fan of pulp fiction, horror, or just love a good anthology, "Pulp Modern: Die Laughing" is right up your alley. Don't miss out on this wild ride!

A combination of 80s rock and horror movies is my idea of a fun night in so this was my idea of a nice night in.

It is a combination of multiple films instead of one big one but there is a framing narrative with a particuarly charming DJ.

For those not familiar with the Pulp Modern series of books they look line a fun read. Being based away from the USA I hadn't heard of them before but I really dug the different types of stories that were being told.

Bonus points for the opening song and story which I particuarly liked. One of my pet peeves with Halloween was that Mike Myers was basically invincible, a weird thing to be annoyed about but I need my slashers to be based around the idea that you can beat them in the end.

"Pulp Modern: Die Laughing" centers around a radio show host who tells a bunch of tales of horror mixed with comedy: A hilarious twist on the classic slasher, an evil mirror, a disgruntled worker on the path to revenge, an evil instigating bird, and a cheating husband.

Much like the vibe of "Tales from the Crypt" from back in the day, this is simply a fun, twisted indie film that will scare you and make you laugh at all the right times. I especially enjoyed the first story which literally made me laugh out loud, and the final story ends with a really cool, unexpected twist. If you enjoy anthology horror films that sprinkles in some of that much needed humor, this is definitely for you!

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.

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!
