I had read quite a lot of comments about The Coffee Table before I had seen it but pretty much all of them said something along the lines of “watch The Coffee Table knowing as little about the film as possible.” And those kind of comments make it a very difficult film to review because they are absolutely right. You want to know as little about The Coffee Table before you see that. With that said, I will indeed keep my review spoiler-free. But I will have to write a little bit more!
The Coffee Table focuses on newly-turned parents, Jesus and Maria. Despite just becoming parents they are going through a tough time. It wasn’t easy getting pregnant, and Jesus suggests he wasn’t really ‘ready’ to have a child,...

Horror fans looking to test their mettle should take note of director Caye Casas‘s The Coffee Table. Horror master Stephen King recently said of the pitch-black tragicomedy, “My guess is you have never, not once in your whole life, seen a movie as black as this one. It’s horrible and also horribly funny.”
That sums up this grim movie well, with King’s recommendation worth taking.
In a press release, Casas said, “We wanted to make one of the cruelest films ever made, one that people cannot forget. It will make them feel very strong emotions, real terror without monsters, zombies, ghosts or murderers, only with a dining room table and the cruelest fate that you can imagine.”
The filmmaker, who co-wrote the film with Cristina Borobia, isn’t downplaying the cruelty.
The film “follows Jesus and Maria, a couple going through a difficult time in their relationship.
