I had read quite a lot of comments about The Coffee Table before I had seen it, but pretty much all of them said something along the lines of “watch The Coffee Table knowing as little about the film as possible.” And those kinds of comments make it a very difficult film to review because they are absolutely right. You want to know as little about The Coffee Table before you see that. With that said, I will indeed keep my review spoiler-free. But I will have to write a little bit more!

The Coffee Table focuses on newly-turned parents, Jesus and Maria. Despite just becoming parents they are going through a tough time. It wasn’t easy getting pregnant, and Jesus suggests he wasn’t really ‘ready’ to have a child,...

Caye Casas’ deeply unsettling horror The Coffee Table (La mesita del comedor) is receiving the deluxe treatment from Second Sight Films, with a Limited Edition Blu-ray release set for 28th April 2025. The Spanish psychological horror, notorious for its gut-punch storytelling and relentless descent into despair, arrives with a host of new extras, including an exclusive audio commentary, fresh interviews with the cast and director, and two of Casas’ earlier short films.

Originally released to stunned audiences, The Coffee Table has been hailed as one of the most distressing horror films in recent memory, with El Mundo branding it “horror film of the year” and Projected Figures calling it a “genre-leaping marvel” that twists from dark comedy into pure tragedy.

Stephen King is the source of many of modern horror's most powerful stories, but he is also an excellent bellwether for exciting developments in the genre world. One of his recent recommendations challenges hardcore fright fans to test their mettle: Caye Casas's taboo-smashing The Coffee Table has traumatized audiences the world over, and now this horrifying sensation is available on Shudder.

This pitch-black Spanish comedy concerns a pair of new parents who purchase a divisive piece of furniture that changes their lives in ways they could never have imagined. The film has also changed the lives of many unwitting audience members, who never saw anything as boundary-pushing — or as bizarrely funny — as this low-budget, high-tension horror-comedy. Those who won't take Stephen King's word for it can read on to find out what all the fuss is about, before plunging into the shocking experience of The Coffee Table.

If you like disturbing horror movies, then you probably have a list of your favorites, but you're also probably always in search of new films to add to the list. One of Shudder'slatest additions could and should make the cut. The Coffee Table is its title, and it's one of the most disturbing horror movies ever made.Currently sitting at 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, the Spanish feature from 2023 is now streaming on the horror-exclusive service Shudder. The film was only released on the festival circuit and played in only a handful of theaters in Spain. However, it rose to prominence when the master of horror, Stephen King, posted the following on X/Twitter: "There's a Spanish movie called The Coffee Table on Amazon Prime and Apple+. My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It's horrible and also horribly funny.

One of the scariest "non-horror" horror films of the 2020s is heading to streaming. The Coffee Table, from director Caye Casas, who co-wrote this twisted monster of a horror, thriller, black comedy with Cris Borobia,will stream on Shudder starting February 24, giving genre fans one more reason to pay for the horror-exclusive platform. A Spanish production, The Coffee Table was released in 2022 on the festival circuit, but it didn't get too much attention at the time. The director even planned to distribute it himself outside Spain, where his movie went on a very limited theatrical run. It wasn't until seminal horror author Stephen Kingpraised the film on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Casas' film gained the notoriety it deserved.

King's post (which can't be seen anymore since the horror author recently decided to leave the social media platform) read, "There's a Spanish movie called The Coffee Table on Amazon...

The solo feature directing debut of Spanish filmmaker Caye Casas, the horror comedy The Coffee Table (a.k.a. La mesita del comedor) was made in 2022 and got a lot of attention as it made its way around the world earlier this year, with JoBlo’s own Alex Maidy giving it an 8/10 review that can be read at This Link and legendary author Stephen King recommending it to his fans and followers by writing, “My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It’s horrible and also horribly funny. Think the Coen Brothers’ darkest dream.” Now, Casas has revealed that The Coffee Table is getting a Turkish remake, titled Cam Sehpa, from director Can Evrenol!

Horror fans looking to test their mettle should take note of director Caye Casas‘s The Coffee Table. Horror master Stephen King recently said of the pitch-black tragicomedy, “My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It’s horrible and also horribly funny.”

That sums up this grim movie well, with King’s recommendation worth taking.

In a press release, Casas said, “We wanted to make one of the cruelest films ever made, one that people cannot forget. It will make them feel very strong emotions, real terror without monsters, zombies, ghosts or murderers, only with a dining room table and the cruelest fate that you can imagine.”

The filmmaker, who co-wrote the film with Cristina Borobia, isn’t downplaying the cruelty.

The film “follows Jesus and Maria, a couple going through a difficult time in their relationship.

One of the great things about following Stephen King on social media is getting to see the master of horrors' take on some of the genre's newest films. As someone who has been in the game for the last 50 years, and has had more than 50 of his stories turned into movies, King has more than deserved his right to comment on both the good and the bad. He was recently at it again, this time offering praise to a film thats mostly flown under the radar in the mainstream, that being the little know Spanish horror gem, The Coffee Table.
