To celebrate Halloween, arguably the greatest holiday ever, the Odd Future guys released a horror parody late last night. Entitled The Ghost of the Hotel (The Movie), Jasper, Taco, L-Boy, Earl Sweatshirt, and Tyler, the Creator star in a horror short about… a ghost of the hotel. Earl and L-Boy star as two detectives assigned to the case, Detective Ray and Detective Tony, respectively. When they confront Mishon (Jasper) and Donstell (Tyler) about a ghost-related murder, they detect something suspicious about the two. Will they be able to solve the mystery, or are they too little too late?
Odd Future’s humor can be hit-or-miss. Much like the Adult Swim lineup, their humor is absurdist and irreverent. The quality of the short follows in line, as it’s shot on a handycam, the acting is over-the-top, and the musical cues are ridiculous. In saying that, I really like The Ghost of the Hotel (The Movie). It’s very obviously a parody, and some of the lines are legitimately funny.
