Jesús and Maria love each other, endlessly, magnificently, even though they sometimes just don't notice. But hey, now that their little lump of love is born, everything's going to work out. Sure, Maria still has a bit of a North-Korean streak in handling the household, calling all the shots when it comes to the color of their apartment walls, the name of the baby, the food they eat, the TV shows they watch, the thickness of the toilet paper and their holiday destination. Jesús, to prove to her and himself he ain't some spineless trilobite but that he has a will of his own, gets to pick the coffee table. Halleluiah! A hard-won victory that he's cherishing by picking out the most aggressively ugly little thing imaginable, the furniture equivalent of Liberace getting lost in Ikea. An unbreakable wonder, says the salesman. Overpriced, says Maria. It will bring boundless happiness to their lives, says the salesman. Their worst nightmare, says us....

Not for the faint-hearted, The Coffee Table breaks the boundaries of being a simple horror film or a dark comedy, paying off for those brave enough to watch. A wonderfully executed film that is equal parts distressing and devilishly funny. Go to Full Review Meredith Jill Brown Upcoming Horror Movies Jul 17

The Coffee Table is a surprising glimpse into the inner workings of how normal people will deal with a horrifically tragic and unexpected event. Go to Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views 11/04/2024
The filmmakers have conceived a bleak, emotionally violent film, but other than a lot of blood, it is not actually graphic. It will feel graphic, and you may wind up with a headache afterwards. Cayas is wise to let us use our imagination. Go to Full Review Petr Navovy Pajiba 06/24/2024

CadeandKit R @CadeandKit 20h Technically horror. Emotionally wrecking. You’ve been warned. We usually come into these reviews ready to debate plot holes, argue about genre tropes, and recommend snacks. This one’s different. The Coffee Table isn’t just dark. It’s devastating. It’s the kind of film that leaves you physically sick, not because of what it shows but because of what it forces you to feel. A slow, domestic spiral into trauma, denial, and irreversible loss, told with such restraint that by the time it breaks you, you’re already broken. A brutal, beautiful meditation on grief, responsibility, and the unbearable weight of love. The Coffee Table is less about jump scares and more about emotional collapse. It absolutely earns its place on the top horror list of 2024, even if it sits closer to drama than dread. See more Nichol C Nov 18 The acting is what gives this movie 4 stars. It's absurd but in a horrifying way. The look of sheer horror and disbelief this actor was able to convey, wow. See more Pinoy Short R Nov 4 Panalo. Simpleng kwento pero napaka traumatic. Mas nakakatakot pa sa mga totoong horror movies. Ang galing din sa pag arte ng lahat na gumanap. A must-see Spanish horror after REC See more Nye N. @nye2025 Sep 20 ‘Great movie you wouldn’t recommend to anyone’ is an excellent description of this grim absurdist horror which seems to take pleasure in torturing its viewer(s). See more Jeremy S Sep 2 Well, you ain't gonna forget it. But you may well want to. See more Courtney K @c0urtn3y Aug 24 interesting. ya know... i guess i don't know what i would do if i were in his shoes, but i feel pretty confident that i wouldn't do what he did. he was obviously in shock & some part of his brain thought that trying to hide it was the best course of action, but how do you hide THAT. especially when you didn't even clean up all the pieces. the idea is tragic & when his partner came home really hammering the nail home about the stupid coffee table, you can just feel his absolute dread. i thought his wife was annoying af, but overall this was executed really well.
