10 Recent Non-Horror Movies That Are TERRIFYING

10. Friendship

To take one look at the new film Friendship, you'd safely assume it to be an indie comedy, given that it stars the ever-hilarious duo of Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson.

But this fascinatingly genre-bending affair is something quite different indeed.

Robinson plays Craig, a socially awkward man who attempts to make friends with his charismatic new neighbour Austin (Rudd). Yet despite the expectation of goofy hijinks, this is a strangely unsettling black comedy more in the vein of something like The Cable Guy.

Robinson's absolute inability to be "one of the guys" makes for squirm-inducing viewing, which combined with a moody aesthetic more typically reserved for A24's card-carrying horror films, increasingly leads the audience to expect a genuinely horrific outcome.

Though Friendship absolutely has its gut-busting laughs, the presentation throughout - both in terms of its visuals and unpredictable performances - makes this an anxiety attack of a "comedy" sure to leave you on edge until the end credits finally, mercifully roll.

It's an extremely tricky thread to needle tonally, and one which probably resulted in some disappointed viewers, but filmmaker Andrew DeYoung deserves so much credit for the boldness of his vision here.
