It’s been a while (almost a year and a half) since I last wrote anything in this series but that’s just because you don’t often see good films in the horror comedy genre. Sure, I’ve seen four Toxic Avenger movies, a seemingly deliberately bad Finnish movie called Bunny the Killer Thing (being purposefully bad does not make for a good movie), Two Thousand Maniacs! and so forth. On the other hand, there are some I might want to talk about, like Heart-Eyes, The Ugly Stepsister, Deadstream, Deathgasm, The Wolf of Snow Hollow, Slumber Party Massacre… We’ll see. Maybe this series gets another (third) lease on life?

Aki Vs. Evil – Kevin Can F**k Himself
I know, I know, not a movie but I found this interesting enough to write about.
Aki vs. Evil – The Blackening
This was very hard to find here in Finland. I guess there isn’t much in the way of audience for a movie like this here.
Aki vs. Evil – Vincent Must Die
Or Vincent doit mourir in the original Frnech.
IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes classify this as a comedy, but Letterbox’d doesn’t. Here we are anyhow.
Spoilers.
Aki vs. Evil – Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person
That’s the real name. Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person. The original name is actually Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant, but despite my ability to remember movie names in their original language, this one I couldn’t. Just too long.
Aki vs. Evil – The Disappointment that Is Abigail
It wasn’t admittedly that much of a disappointment, but simply because the premise wasn’t very promising.
Spooooiiiileeerrrsssss!!! Nothing major actually.
Aki Vs. Evil Special – El día de la bestia (The Day of the Beast)
It’s been over two years since the last time I wrote one of these, but I feel I have to talk about this one.
Aki Vs. Evil – Hausu (House) plus Epilogue
Yes, I did actively save this to be the last movie I do in this series. If you have never seen it, you might not understand why, but I also bet there’s plenty of readers who are nodding right now in agreement, because this movie is something else.
Aki Vs. Evil – Scream
So, it has finally come to this… Although, I don’t think this is an actual horror comedy, but we’ll get to that.
Aki Vs. Evil – Tremors
According to Kevin Bacon, at some point of his career, he called this the most fun he had had making a movie. It does have that kind of a feel. There is another story where he practically broke down about the idea of making such a movie he saw as a career low at the time. He went later on to do a TV series called I Love Dick as the titular character, so that might not have been the last time he felt that way. However, I do think Tremors is a good movie and definitely something to be proud of despite the creature-feature premise.
