The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone turned a Norwegian thriller into this comedy turducken

The press kit for Jorma Taccone’s upcoming horror-comedy Over Your Dead Body calls the movie a “tonal turducken” β€” basically a horror movie stuffed into a thriller stuffed into an action flick. That’s a lot to cram into one film, but the red-band trailer β€” which is age-restricted and only viewable on YouTube β€” suggests that the Lonely Island member and director of MacGruber and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping has a clear idea of a throughline that connects all these different genres. Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother) and Samara Weaving (the Ready or Not movies) star as Dan and Lisa, a couple who head to a remote cabin for a vacation, each planning to murder the other. Those plans are interrupted when a pair of escaped convicts (Juliette Lewis and Timothy Olyphant) and a prison guard break into the cabin.
