10 Recent Horror Comedy Movies You Need To Stop Sleeping On

Despite its sunny disposition, Australia knows how to do a killer indie horror comedy - check out The Loved Ones and Little Monsters if you don’t believe so - and Sissy is just that.

Aisha Dee stars as Cecilia, a social media influencer whose invite to her best bud Emma’s (Hannah Barlow, the film’s writer-director) bachelorette weekend turns dark when she comes into conflict with Emma’s other friend Alex (Emily De Margheriti), who nicknamed her Sissy and bullied her to the point of brutality during their younger days. Through a series of intensely awkward interactions, and Alex’s best efforts to turn Emma and her other friends against Cecilia, things turn violent, and the young influencer has to find creative ways to conceal her shattering psyche and - quite literally - hide the bodies.

Made for and distributed by Shudder directly to their streaming platform, Sissy suffers from the limited exhibition that every film of this kind receives. Aimed at, and primarily consumed by, only the most unwavering horror fans, it has lost out on the more mainstream audiences it would have had on Netflix or Prime, strangled by the very niche that created it. But it’s not too late to wake up and give it the time of day.
