You know what you make a bad purchase, and you know it'll come back to haunt you? The Coffee Table kind of has that in mind, though no haunting per se. Rather, this is what I might term Mundane Horror, as something terrible soon happens after the purchase, and the black comedy becomes a tense, bleak, blacker than black comedy. The script does an amazing job of reminding us - and the character in the know - of what's waiting for them all in the other room, as it threatens to draw them into madness. Full parental trigger warning on, folks, as there are several elements that will be disturbing to viewers with kids of different ages. (I mean, there's the REAL horror. Never mind shopping decisions - which *I* find relatable - I don't know how people can have children and not be consistently stressed and scared.) A Hitchcock Presents that goes too far, I was ready to love it, but the ending, while it goes to a very natural place, needed an extra twist to make the film stand-out. 1 month 1 week ago -
