10 Underrated Horror Movie Parodies
10. Slice
The most recent release on this list, Slice is the directorial debut of acclaimed music video director Austin Vesely.
An A24 release, this scrappy indie is stylish and slick, and there are plenty of laughs to be had during its agreeably goofy shaggy dog story. The convoluted tale of a misunderstood werewolf played by Chance the Rapper in his film debut, the movie also bounces between dark social satire and more over-the-top, goofy humour befitting a sketch show.
In the course of its knotty, ultimately pointless plot, this underrated film managed to satirize gentrification whilst parodying ghost movies, werewolf films, and cop flicks—an impressive feat by any measure. It's filled with silly moments that make the occasional satirical barbs all the more surprisingly sharp, and a stellar supporting cast including Zazie Beetz, Paul Scheer, and Stranger Things standout Joe Keery ensures that this oddball spoof is a winner. It's one not to be missed by fans of horror, comedy, and... er, satires of gentrification?
