Dr. Giggles

About This Movie

Dr. Giggles is a curious blend of comedy and horror that really leans into its own absurdity. The setup is wild—a son avenging his father's lynching from a botched heart transplant. It’s got this dark, twisted humor that makes it feel almost like a twisted fairy tale. The pacing is a bit uneven; it lulls in places but then delivers some entertainingly gory practical effects that remind you this is still a horror flick. Larry Drake's performance as Evan is both unsettling and oddly charming at times. Plus, the small-town setting adds to the off-kilter atmosphere, making you feel like anything can happen. It's definitely one of those films that you either get or you don’t, but that's what makes it distinctive in the genre.
