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 😁

I'm trying to understand this question a bit more. Do you mean intentionally not typical for it's genre, or unintentionally?

If intentionally, I'd go with Shaun of the Dead, though it's actually considered part of the 'comedy horror' genre so wouldn't necessarily consider it 'lying' about being hilarious film about a zombie apocalypse.

If unintentionally, then hands down Troll 2. You can't piss on hospitality.

It doesn't really matter as long as it ends up having the opposite result of what was expected of it
