Ever wondered what the point of life is? Me too. Especially when I consider dying alone, probably after writing this article. But let’s ponder the lighter side of existential dread, like in the horror movie, ‘Sharp Corner.’
Imagine moving into your dream house, only to find that the real nightmare is the road outside. No ghostly figures or flickering lights—just a sharp curve that loves to taste metal and blood. The residents of this haunted abode include Josh (let’s call him Ben Misshapen) and Rachel (or Cobie Smolders-too-Much). They didn’t just move into a new house; they signed up for front-row seats to a recurring car-smash opera.
Now, Ben Misshapen, who could replace Ned Flanders in a horror reboot, grows a savior complex thicker than his weird mustache. Watching cars wreck becomes his new Netflix. And Rachel? She’s just there, adding to the absurdity, too absorbed in existential musings to even bother about her husband's descent into madness.
And let's face it, when a family dinner means watching another sedan kiss your oak tree, maybe life is just a badly written sitcom episode—or a brilliant horror plot, depending on your taste for dark humor.
So as my own life eerily mirrors the pointless looping of ‘Sharp Corner,’ and I mull over the inevitability of writing my last bad joke (here it comes), remember: if you want a truly spooky experience, forget haunted houses. Find a home by a deadly curve. Because sometimes, the best way to face life’s absurdities is just to watch them unfold from your porch, hopefully not alone, like how I’ll probably die—single and mildly amused.
