What's a movie (or series) that lies about its genre? (self.asklemmy)

Like, a horror movie that instead of scare you makes you laugh more than a comedy.

Also, thanks to the people that answer the post, this is the easiest way to find new series and movies to watch 😁

Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz kind of play with that by inverting their approaches. SotD is a very mellow comedic take on a normally action packed American zombie movie, while HF is a over the top action take on a very British retire to the country/murder mystery genre.
