To celebrate their new baby, a middle-aged couple purchases some elegant
furniture. THE COFFEE TABLE (Tubi, Ama$on) is a pitch-black horror
comedy from Spain. Disappointingly, its under-90 minutes delivers far
more chutzpah than invention ...seemingly satisfied that a hellishly
shocking context makes any subsequent unawareness of it automatically
funny. I waited for payoffs that never came. Not recommended.
Is it a comedy? I can't find any unvarnished clips of it on youtube.
wikipedia gives the plot, why not give spoilers? It sounds like
gross out stuff.
I like to know "spoilers" because plots are cheap anyway,
it's how a movie is directed and produced, not what the plot is.
Spoilers are always readily available, just not from me. Yeah, IMDb confirms that this is pretty clearly a comedy, though I've mentioned my struggles to appreciate that aspect. And fwiw I'm fine with gross-out gore (...though there's actually not tons of it here).
