Otis, 2008

After watching Saw V last week, we wanted to go for something a little more light-hearted. Otis is billed as a comedy-horror and really, that is spot on. There are some really 'horrible' moments and you do feel a little bit tense but mainly it is really, really funny. The Mum in this is brilliant - a proper nut job. Some of the dialogue is sooo outrageous you'll be laughing and shaking your head at the same time. The basic story is that a  twisted perv kidnaps girls and makes them do some bizarre 'sweet sixteen' role-playing in his cellar. Very funny and definitely worth a watch.

SECOND OPINION: Comedy horrors don't sit very comfortably in Friday Horror Night. Rach and I always feel a little short changed. Otis isn't gory, nor particularly violent. It is, however, very funny and a little chilling in places.
