I don't get why this film doesn't have a higher rating. Clearly, right from the get-go, you get that this is a dark comedy with emphasis on comedy. The dialogue is great, with one of the best one-liners I've heard in a long time. Laugh out loud funny. The poster on Netflix is misleading, so if you're expecting a horror film, this isn't it. The horror is built into the relationship between the characters who drive this film head first into a shocking conclusion. The actors are all well-known, and you're not gonna get talent like that to perform in a stinker. Trash Fire is in a similar camp as Creep 2, though this one is scripted whereas Creep 2 is pretty much improvised. And the budget on this one is about 10x that of the Creep franchise. Frankly, I think these are the kinds of films we need these days because everything else is so damn predictable and expected. Trash Fire isn't one of those. There are plenty of stupid horror movies on Netflix, but very few clever, character-driven stories with great dialogue and performances. If you're into that, watch Trash Fire and Creep 1 & 2. You won't be disappointed.
