Soon as I saw that title my first thought was In Bruges ‘Two manky hookers, and a racist dwarf’

Perrier’s Bounty is well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it already

A friend recommended Tucker and Dale vs Evil and it's criminal how many people haven't seen it

I think the comedy aspect exceeds the story so I can see why you might not have got it, but definitely worth a re watch

Sightseers is brilliant, definitely on the darker end of comedy but very good. You should give it a watch if you can find it!

Tucker and Dale is hilarious, far better than Cabin in the Woods. I keep on at my friends to watch it but they don't seem too enthralled with the idea of a hillbilly horror.

That sounds good, I do like Cillian Murphy too!

I'll be on the lookout for it

But it's hilarious because the hillbillies aren't even the bad guys! Just trying to do chores in their vacation home

It's more of a horror the other 2 are kind of slapstick dark humor.

Bliss sounds good, almost like a redemption type story with a bit of humour with it

I think Parasite is on the movie channels now. And while it isn't strictly a dark comedy, Knives Out was my favourite film of last year.

Me too! And read the book, which is hilarious as it is written phonetically in Scottish dialect.

My son lives in Leith and we did the tour of the sites including the Banana flats where Sickboy lived and walked under the bridge near Waverley station where Renton nearly got ran over

The darkest comedy has to be funny games, the director actually made an English speaking version with Tim Roth, but alas it was shite, but the original is dark comedy to a T

If you ever drink in a West London pub called The Famous 3 Kings the grotty block of flats on the corner opposite side of the street is the exterior for the scene Begby jumps out of the wardrobe whilst Renton is working as an estate agent.

I think it's on Amazon Prime too, who might still be doing a 99p for a week deal.

I genuinely think it's a classic. Dialogue, plot, cast, it's magnificent.
