"Dark Comedies, or Black Comedies as they are sometimes called, are a unique genre that manages to blend comedy with darker elements, think Heathers (1988) or Jojo Rabbit (2019). Usually the subject matter of Dark Comedies circles topics such as death, mental health decline, murder, and societal injustice, with movies like Parasite (2019) and Ready or Not (2017) fitting that trope perfectly.
The previous decades have seen great variety in the kind of dark comedies that are being released, one only has to recall movies such as Lars and the Real Girl (2007) and The Lobster (2015), to see how diverse movies in this category can be."
