10 Scariest Movie Moments Of 2019
10. Happy Death Day 2 U - The Death Montage
Happy Death Day 2 U is about as funny as it is scary. Horror comedy has been a hugely successful genre down the years though, and both Happy Death Day movies nestle in their quite comfortably. Perhaps not a movie for die hard horror fans, but still a great film if you like a little chuckle to break up the creepiness.
There's certainly an argument to be made that the death montage, which features Tree killing herself in ever more elaborate ways to try and break the cycle, isn't scary at all. It's all done with a very offbeat humour to the soundtrack of Paramore's indie pop hit 'Hard Times'. It's comedy, pure and simple, right?
But horror and comedy aren't too far apart, especially in a film like Happy Death Day 2 U.
At face value, watching the main character drink bleach, drop a hairdryer in her bathtub, jump out of a plane and leap off a building should be utterly terrifying. Through the tone of the movie, it comes off as hilarious, but that's only because of how absurd it is.
Though it was more likely to get a giggle than a scream, the death montage remains a scary idea.
