I'm interested in discussing what makes a film truly effective when it subverts established genre tropes. Many films attempt it, but few manage to execute it with both humor and thematic depth. What are some prime examples you've seen where a film successfully turns a genre on its head, particularly in horror or comedy, without alienating its audience or becoming purely parody? I'm looking for films that genuinely rethink established conventions and perhaps even create new pathways for the genre. Any insights on the writing or directing techniques that achieve this would be appreciated
