Shudder Day: Destroy All Neighbors (2024)

 Am I watching enough Shudder content to justify paying for it every Month?
Probably not, but I did check out this newer Film from them.

Jonah Ray Rodrigues is back again in another Horror Comedy called...

A man- Rodrigues- is working a Job as a Sound Engineer at a Record Company.

His dream, however, is to create a brand new, transcendent Prog Rock Album.

Too bad his Neighbors make things very difficult.
This is especially true of Vlad (Alex Winter in disguise) who plays loud EDM, grunts and just generally is never quiet.

All attempts to deal with this normally (well, normally for him) don't work.
This makes things bad for him outside of home as he's haunted by strange visions, memories of recent events and can't sleep.

When your homelife is so bad that you get fired, things need to change.
Well, as the Title might imply, he gets that change in his life.

Naturally, chaos (and laughs) ensue.
Can he work things out?
Can you come back for this much death around you?

Does anyone need me to explain what Prog Rock is?

To find out the answers to 2 of those questions, stream it now.
A fun Film that is very, VERY quirky.  I can't emphasize that enough.

Fans of straight Horror or even straight Horror Comedy may not love this one.  It has some good moments- no question.
Much of it, however, hinge on whether or not you 'get' the Film's humor.

The Film lives and dies by the odd exchanges of dialog between the Actors, combined with the odd visuals that only get stranger as the Film progresses.  There are moments- like the Scene with Kumail Nanjiani- that really work well.

If you're into straight Horror, just know what to expect.

As for me, I dug the weird vibe, quirky characters AND the fact that it features a handsome man named 'Alec' in it...

Good fun with splatter, humor and bizarre occurrences.  Just make sure that you're the audience for this one or you'll not enjoy it (kind of like Prog Rock in general, really).
