Adulting in the beyond

Extra Ordinary (dir. Mike Ahern & Edna Loughman. 93 minutes. R)

If, as a general rule, horror movies lose their appeal as you grow up, horror comedies tend to get better — for the same reason that so many horror movies become horror comedies as you grow up. Horror makes you say, “This can’t be happening.” Adulthood makes you say, “Yeah, but it is,” and find a way to laugh in the face of doom and soldier on. Extra Ordinary, written and directed by Irish duo Mike Ahern and Edna Loughman, captures this paradigm and bleeds it dry for laughs.
