10 Horror Movie Parodies You've Never Seen

Because spoofs tend to mock specific films, they usually come across as derivative. This is why parodies like Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, and Date Movie are so uncreative with their comedy.

But there are some spoofs that avoid these tropes and come up with a genuinely original idea. The Revenant (not the Leonardo DiCaprio movie) is a 2009 comedy that revolves around as a veteran called Bart who teams up with his buddy, Joey, to clean up the city.

However, Bart has a slight problem - he's dead. After being reanimated as a corpse, he has to drink blood to stop himself from decomposing. Even though he's articulate and intelligent, Joey's friends are certain Bart is a mindless brain-eating zombie and so, urge Joey to kill him.

Even though the whole thing could've fallen apart if it was too silly, The Revenant has a perfect balance of being aware of how ridiculous it is while still taken itself seriously. In fact, some moments feel so tragic, you feel like the film could've worked better as a straightforward drama. Due to this fantastic premise, tight script, and solid acting, The Revenant is the type of horror comedy that we need more of.
