If you’re a huge fan of dark humor, black comedies are probably your favorite genre, and they’re showing up everywhere this summer. Many comedies with a dark twist are heading to theatres and streaming services these days and here are a few that deserve a spot on your watch list.

Vengeance

The Office actor B.J. Novak takes the lead role in his directorial debut which centers on a New York journalist who travels down south to help solve the murder of a girl that he had a brief fling with.

Not Okay

This satire for the influencer age tells the tale of an attention-seeking young woman (Zoey Deutch), whose life turns upside down after she fakes being a victim of a bombing attack in Paris.

Do Revenge

Stranger Thing’s Maya Hawke and Riverdale’s Camila Mendes join forces as two teenage girls going after each other’s bullies in this coming-of-age dark comedy inspired by Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train.

Bodies Bodies Bodies

Bodies Bodies Bodies puts a dark comedic twist on the slasher genre and stars Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Lee Pace, and Pete Davidson. It centers on a group of rich twenty-somethings attending a hurricane party gone terribly wrong.

Social media took over every aspect of our lives and many movies over the years look at the way it reshaped the modern world. Here are some of the best dramas, comedies, and documentaries of the past few years that explore the harsh realities of social media.

The Social Network (2010)

David Fincher’s The Social Network is the first film that comes to mind when someone mentions social media. Even a decade later, the story of Facebook’s rise still holds up and it’s as poignant as it was back in the day.

The Social Dilemma (2020)

This Netflix documentary rounds out some of the leading social media experts, who came together to warn us of the dangerous human impact of their own creations.

Eighth Grade (2018)

Bo Burnham’s coming-of-age dramedy explores many important topics in under 100 minutes including Gen-Z’s reliance on social media and the role it plays in carving their identities.

Ingrid Goes West (2017)

This highly underrated film ushered in the era of social media-inspired black comedies by telling a story of an unhinged social media stalker who manages to infiltrate the life of a popular Instagram star.

Not Okay (2022)

The latest addition to this rising genre, Not Okay centers on a privileged twenty-something woman who fakes being a victim of a bombing attack for social media fame, exploring everything from cancel culture, white privilege, and appropriation of trauma.
