Otis

Otis (2008) is an American horror-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The police are stumped: pretty high-school girls keep disappearing, only to turn up dead a month later. Behind it is Otis, a hulking, awkward killer who chains his victims in a basement and forces them to act out his warped prom-night fantasy.

Sixteen-year-old cheerleader Riley is next on his list. But she gets away — and that is where the film flips into its second, stranger half. With the FBI dragging its feet, Riley's family decides to handle the payback themselves. Grief and bloodlust slowly turn these decent suburban parents into something worse than Otis ever was. Ashley Johnson plays Riley, with Daniel Stern and Illeana Douglas as her parents and a snarky Kevin Pollak alongside.

Director Tony Krantz isn't making a straight slasher here but a mean little satire that scares and cracks you up at once, mocking the TV hysteria around abductions and our own taste for revenge. Not for the squeamish — but right at home for fans of horror that refuses to take itself seriously. Stream Otis (2008) online on iFILM.
