Comedy in horror
I don't have anything against comedy-horror when this is the intent all along and when the film is advertised as such. I loved Shaun of the Dead, and I can think of a few other comedy-horrors I enjoyed. However, I don't generally care for these films and prefer my horror straight-up without the comedy. My beef is that many films advertised as horror end up containing intentional comedy, and this bugs me. Unintentional comedy from bad acting isn't the issue here; what I don't like is when the director deliberately adds comedy. What do you think?
