WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 184 – “Domestic Horror”
Ask anyone that’s taken the plunge and they’ll tell you…Marriage is fucking terrifying.
That’s exactly what’s at the core of writer/director Eli Thomas‘ Domestic Horror. What starts off as a silly, self-aware Scream parody slowly turns into a wry commentary on the marriage-industrial complex and how on some level it kills us all. Leaning more towards comedy than horror, the horror in Domestic Horror is not caused by any costumed killer or monster mask, but in an exploration of what we see in Henry Hill’s eyes in those final moments of Goodfellas.
(Cue My Way by Sid Vicious.)
Domestic Horror is a stellar piece a filmmaking to boot. Beautifully shot and executed, no three paragraph write up of the film would be complete without praising both its score/sound design and Kyla Druckman‘s performance. You might remember Kyla from her turn as a production assistant on the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards.
And if you dug Domestic Horror (which by all rights you should) do yourself a solid and go down the YouTube rabbit hole to check out some of Eli Thomas’s other comedic takes on the horror genre via his channel Pizza for Breakfast. There’s a lot of really funny, really solid work here that shows Mr. Thomas loves his horror movies just as much as he loves making people laugh. Definitely, someone to keep an eye on.

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
