Dave Made a Maze

Enter the surreal and darkly delightful world that feels like wandering through an Ikea showroom. When unsuccessful artist Dave builds a cardboard maze in his living room, he soon realizes that he is trapped, and that there is definitely more than meets the eye.

This movie was amazing, and I highly recommend for all lovers of surreal, imaginative worlds to explore. Fans of Phil Tippett's Mad God and Jan Švankmajer's Alice in Wonderland will be thrilled with this artistic madness, while fans of Boxes or House of Leaves might find something familiar about the cardboard labyrinth as well.

2023 Horror Challenge: [20/?]

↳“I wasn't striving for anything. I just wanted to make something. And I can't sit on my couch and watch t.v. or think that the internet is going to inspire me because I'm fucking thirty years old. And my parents are still giving me money. And I bore the shit out of them. And I work jobs that I hate that I have to beg to get. Do you know what it means to be broke? It means that you are broken. That you don't work.“ Dave Made a Maze (2017) dir. Bill Watterson

Plot: Dave, an artist who has yet to complete anything significant in his career, builds a fort in his living room out of pure frustration, only to wind up trapped by the fantastical pitfalls, booby traps, and critters of his own creation.

Starring: Nick Thune, Meera Rohit Kumbhani & Adam Busch

Okay, finally a movie where I'm gonna stay positive in a review!! lol This watch was such a bizarre one, in the best kinda way. It was so fun and creative as a concept that I couldn't help but to admire the execution of it all. Horror comedies are my go-to so it's no surprise I was gonna be the target audience for it. It's pretty funny throughout imo, just as whacky as you might expect the humor to be for a movie with this kinda idea. I kinda love how it just jumps right in with his girlfriend discovering what Dave did and her really not getting that he's stuck in his maze, having no idea from the outside what's going on in it before exploring it to save him. Enter the rest of the cast who all add a little something as well, in particular Adam Busch, who had me laughing as Gordon. I rather like how they chose to handle the violence because it truly fit the vibe of the whole thing and felt very fresh. Because otherwise it could have been really gory and possibly been a little off-putting with the rest of the movie. But I dug this little strange flick, quite honestly. It committed to its concept, which I really appreciated. I was entertained. That's all I really hoped for when I clicked play because I truly had no idea what I was in beforehand. It's a hidden gem imo.

Dave made a maze!

So we watched this movie last night and it was a treat. the cardboard was incredible. the feelings were relatable. the motives were believable. I dont want to spoil anything here. my friend showed us the trailer, said the movie was "meh" and we put it on in the background. i was totally captivated.

it felt like it was a lot of people's first movie. but that made it feel realer somehow. like more of a documentary vibe. i dont want to say anything about the plot. i think you should watch it blind. and i really think you should watch it.

spoilers: its a story about things going off the rails. and being lost in yourself. and hurting people along the way. its a lot of good depression metaphors. and a lot of "i didnt plan it like this! but it IS like this. and now I have to deal with it" which is a really good message. esp for me. i couldnt believe how directly this movie relates to me. like the guy is an artist and is trying to make something cool while his partner is away for the weekend. he's been feeling unfulfilled and like the things he makes dont matter. so he plunges in and things go off the rails. the artist is sucked into his own creation and is unable to escape. and in attempting to rescue him, bystanders are hurt.

This evening was my quilt guild's holiday party and to my immense surprise, I actually won one of the party games. I don't usually do well with games of chance, like I never win drawings or whatever, and this was all dice rolling, so I didn't expect to last more than half of the game. In general, I don't win games anyway, like I enjoy board games (I used to enjoy actually playing board games more than just occasionally, too) and, depending on the game, I can actually be kind of a shark, strategically. But I don't usually win.

Oh, and I'm just extra excited about winning because we were basically gambling with pieces of fabric, and I won the pot and came home with 18 pieces of fabric.

Oh the animated opening credits are fantastic. Also, like, accurate representation of having ADHD and unstructured time. Sometimes you just hyperfixate on a project and somehow you've built a cardboard maze in your living room and it's bigger on the inside and you've been lost inside of it for 3 days.

ok so movie #3 of my 30* nights of Halloween movies is Dave Made a Maze because it was listed as comedy horror.

I wouldn't call it horror, but it was a really fun whimsical movie. It's like one of those movies you watched as a child that scared the shit out of you that you still genuinely loved (I want to liken it to Goonies or one of those other adventure stories. Charlie in the Chocolate Factory or something? Maybe Don't Hug Me I'm Scared?) but it's very obviously made by adults and for adults.

The people who worked on it are amateurs who don't perfectly deliver their lines but are obviously in love with the project. But with that being said, every noise, every prop, every scene is deliberate and precise and it's beautiful. All the props are craft supplies like cardboard and tissue paper. It's fun and low budget but has an insane amount of heart and it's pretty funny.

I'd probably give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. It's really fun, but it's not very scary for being "comedy horror". I'd call it a "surrealist comedy" or something along those lines.

I'm not giving any more spoilers because I NEED y'all to go watch it. It's on Amazon Prime and it's a fucking GEM if you're like me and grew up on surreal comedies from the mid 80's to early 2000's. It's got so much heart and love and soul. Please check it out.
