If Buddy hit the spot, these will too

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: Easier on the dark humor than Buddy

The same preoccupation in both: dark comedy
The difference: Takes it somewhere less dread-soaked than Buddy does

Common ground: dark comedy
The difference: Sits closer to romance than Buddy does

Witty where it counts, playful underneath

One thread runs through both: supernatural horror
The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Both lean on dark humor more than on horror

Comedy with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Dreamlike fantasy, and it commits to that

Dread-soaked horror in both cases

Fantasy built on unease, twice over

Both keep coming back to the same thing: aggressive
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Dreamlike comedy in both cases
In the mood for more dread?
