Top 10 Most Shocking Dark Comedies

5. Serial Mom


Kathleen Turner acts as the perfect, suburban mother and housewife – on the outside! From the inside, she is an evil and vengeful person who will go to any end to protect the members of her family from the world. With its subversive sense of humor, you cannot watch this movie without wanting to look over your back.



4. Death Becomes Her


When a movie revolves around not one but two living corpses, you might wonder how this is going to progress from the macabre to a comedy. But party due to the directing skills of Robert Zemeckis and partly to an adept star cast, comprising of Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn, the satirical quality of the movie stays sharp and funny through even the most grotesque scenes.



3. Blood Simple

One of the Coen brothers’ more well-known movies, this movie has all the makings of a good thriller with a cheating wife, a devastated husband out to get revenge and an unscrupulous detective. However, this is where the movie becomes darkly humorous with characters double-crossing each other till matters spiral out of control.



2. Dr. Strangelove


You might wonder at the relevance of a political thriller set amidst the Cold War tensions of the 1960s. However, a look at the basic premise of the story – of what could happen to the world if the wrong person were in the wrong place at the wrong time – still manages to hold true and should concern us till there are nuclear weapons around.
