Netflix is getting well into the Halloween spirit with spooky content like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, almost-spooky content featuring Queer Eye’s Antoni, and now a transformation of their very own The Kissing Booth into a certified thriller.
Eeeeek.
The thing is, the recut of The Kissing Booth into a fake horror trailer works a little too well. It feels too easy.
But maybe that’s because, while we find the fanfiction-adapted teen romcom somehow irresistible, the male characters do kinda suck. With so many aggressive and controlling men around it makes sense that the movie makes such an easy transition into horror film.
And what’s spookier than then our desire for problematic men!
Then again if The Shining can be recut into a romcom, anything is possible with a good edit.
