A very hearty welcome back to The Horror! The Horror! , now broadcasting from Goblin Towers 2.0 (aka our new flat). Thank you for sticking with me these past few weeks as me and Mr. THTH got the place up and running (aka unfucking our WiFi as well as unpacking), I truly cannot think of a better way to thank you for it than by gifting you this beautiful nonsense of a film.
This Stack likes to talk about horror media from a storytelling perspective, and I’d like you for this particular movie to imagine you are watching an extended episode of an 80s police procedural (sans police) you accidentally come across while channel surfing at 2 AM because you cannot sleep, nor can you remember that you have the channel you find this on. It is just there, and this is just there.

After we get an opening credits sequence (as in, the opening credits over some admittedly quite cool footage of an elevator’s mechanics), the film starts quite literally on a dark and stormy night. In a twofer of shots that genuinely made me cackle, we first get the above billboard, advertising a restaurant based at the top of the Kronenstede building, the grimmest, most non-descript office block you can imagine. Then, we get teeth.
The zoom out from this woman’s mouth as she’s cackling with laughter should clue you in that this movie is here to be extremely unserious. The woman in question (not named, and I can’t for the life of me find a cast list that accurately tells me who the heck we’re looking at apart from the main three cast members so bear with me) is part
Review: My Dad Is a Sausage
- With her first feature, Anouk Fortunier delivers a refreshing family comedy with a pop sensibility about the freedom to reinvent oneself

film profile]) and based on a children’s book by Agnès de Lestrade, follows the adventures of a surprising and enthusiastic father-daughter, looking for their identity and their true place in the world.
At the dawn of her adolescence, Zoé (Savannah Vandendriessche) stands back and shrewdly observes the comedy that her family appears to be enacting, each wonderfully playing their given parts, knowing the screenplay by heart, never changing one line from their perfect family script. Mum, a successful entrepreneur, is on a work trip, while dad works in a big bank and plays with numbers. Her big sister alternates between violin lessons and school homework, while her big brother… Well, her big brother with survivalist tendencies lives shut up in the cave, but that’s another story.
And so when her father (Johan Heldenbergh) quits his banking job on a whim to become an actor, her mother is anything but happy. Zoé is the only one to believe in her father and throws herself into this adventure with him. After all, the young girl has her own affairs to settle regarding her place in the world. She will therefore accompany her father in his quest, finally finding in this adult in full existential crisis a model who dares add some colour to his life by reconnecting wi
