10 Recent Horror Movies Which Broke The Fourth Wall To Scare You

10. Tone Deaf

Part horror movie, part social commentary and part comedy, Tone Deaf has some interesting ideas but unfortunately falters under the weight of its sky-high ambitions. Despite a game performance from Robert Patrick and director Richard Bates Jr.'s genre experimentation, its boomers vs. millennials plot does not have as much narrative mileage as the creatives involved it hoped it would.

Olive Smith (Amanda Crew) decides to go on a weekend gateway after a series of setbacks in her life and during these two days, stays at Harvey Parker (Patrick)'s home. Unfortunately for Olive, Harvey has a strong disdain for millennials and she ends up staying at his home at the same time the elder man decides to resolve his grievances lethally.

Throughout the film as Harvey stalks Olive, the former frequently turns to the camera to belittle the millennials in the audience, constantly demanding that they get their act together as well as ranting about their perceived inadequacies.

As mentioned before, Patrick does commit to the role and Bates Jr.'s direction is intriguing, but the film's lack of subtlety and insight is what ends up being its downfall.
