“Stumbling upon the 2024 horror comedy u0026quot;A Most Atrocious Thingu0026quot; by random chance here in 2024, of course I opted to sit down and watch it. In fact, it being a horror comedy that I hadnu0026#39;t already seen was sufficient to make me sit down and watch it. But I have to say that I was definitely also lured in by the movieu0026#39;s cover.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure, I had zero expectations to what writers Christian Hurley, Ben Oliphint, Dylan DeVol and Max Shepardson had to offer. So you could say that they had every opportunity to entertain me here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe storyline was actually good, because it was a mixture between u0026quot;Evil Deadu0026quot; and u0026quot;Cabin Feveru0026quot;. I have to say that I actually enjoyed the script and the narrative in the movie. Sure, it felt like a homage to u0026quot;Evil Deadu0026quot;, but it worked out nicely.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI am usually skeptic about movie that also star the writers and/or directors. But it played out well enough in this movie. Why? Well, because u0026quot;A Most Atrocious Thingu0026quot; was made with a lot of spirit and love of the horror comedy genre. It was very obvious that the writers and directors were fans of the genre and brought their own spin on the horror comedy to the screen in an entertaining manner.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNeedless to say that I wasnu0026#39;t familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie. But the actors did put on good performances throughout the course of the 75 minutes that the movie ran for.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe deer in the movie looked so fake that it was hilarious to look at. It actually worked out well enough in favor of the movie, since it was so fake that it added to the overall enjoyment of the movie, provided you donu0026#39;t mind questionable creature effects. It should be noted, though, that the special effects in the movie were otherwise actually good for a movie of this caliber.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating of directors Christian Hurley and Ben Oliphintu0026#39;s 2024 movie u0026quot;A Most Atrocious Thingu0026quot; lands on a six out of ten stars.”
