Andrew W Pulp Modern die laughing is (in case you haven't guessed) a comedy anthology of five stories told by five writers and directors. the story is connected by seasoned radio DJ mister Cee (Alexander Cicak) A nameless female protagonist does battle with a malevolent Friday the 13th Jason entity using every kind of conceivable weapon and comedic one liner she can think of- a vane selfish young man mistakenly buys a mirror which serves as a portal to hell. A disgruntled university professor and crime author finds his insecurities manifesting in murderous rage. A talking bird sets off an irreversible chain of murderous events and an adulterer finds himself at the receiving end of his wife's vengeance. Theres no good guys in this anthology. Just a bunch of self centred morally compromised people from all walks of life in over their heads. With a premise like Pulp Modern with so many directors there was a lot that could go wrong but it remains consistent from beginning to end with all aspects- the stories-the performances-the cinematography and the editing. the film proudly wears its Troma entertainment style B movie influences on its sleeve It walks a fine line between horror and humour and you can tell the crew had a great time making it as it shines on the screen. I've watched many indie films in the last year and Pulp Modern is by far the most well polished! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/25 Full Review Ruby C If you like horror, quirky and comedy then this is for you. There are several stories that will have you laughing out loud and wondering what outrageous story is coming next. Much like "Tales from The Crypt" this is a fun, twisted, and gory anthology that centers around a radio host that plays none other than classical music. Well written, well acted, well told stories that are definitely worth a watch especially now that spooky season is upon us. It's entertaining, outrageous, and the set design, cinematography and editing is more than expected. It will definitely keep you entertained from start to finish. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review James C I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started watching Pulp Modern. But I could immediately tell that this was a well shot horror anthology. Unlike a lot of horror shorts out there I could see that the crew knew what they were doing when filming! I really enjoyed the variety of styles of the shorts as well, including, slasher, monster, murderous cockatoos, and a thriller, all with a comedic twist! The use of practical effects is always appreciated in indie films. And this anthology was no exception. There will be plenty of blood, severed limbs and gory wounds for the horror aficionado. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/24 Full Review Kris Y I recently watched Pulp Modern: Die Laughing and was thoroughly entertained by this wild horror anthology. The film is a thrilling blend of dark humor and horror, reminiscent of classic 80s anthologies like Tales from the Crypt. Each of the five stories is unique, delivering a mix of scares and laughs, with standout moments like a satanic parrot and a demonic mirror that taps into psychological horror. The framing narrative, led by the charismatic DJ Mr. C, ties everything together perfectly, making it a cohesive and engaging experience. Even if you're not usually a fan of anthologies, this one is worth checking out for its creativity and fun factor. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Melissa L I thought this was a well-acted and original collection of vignettes along the lines of "Creepshow." I definitely recommend it! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Richard W It was the perfect blend for me personally! I like 80s rock and horror movies and this one had both in spades. The films also felt individual which was great, shout out especially to the first and last short films which were nice book ends.
