Shudder
‘s
latest additions could
and should
make the cut.
The Coffee Table

Currently sitting at 88% on
Rotten Tomatoes
, the Spanish feature from 2023 is now streaming on the horror-exclusive service Shudder. The film was only released on the festival circuit and played in only a handful of theaters in Spain. However, it rose to prominence when the master of horror, Stephen King,
posted the following on X/Twitter
: “There’s a Spanish movie called
THE COFFEE TABLE
on Amazon Prime and Apple+. 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. Think the Coen Brothers’ darkest dream.”

If Stephen King says it’s good, then it must be. These are the recent horror movies that the king of horror books has praised.
Horror specialist Mick Garris said, “You should NOT know anything about it before you see it,” when he referred to the movie — and it definitely lands better when you blindly go into it, but we will share a few details.
The Coffee Table
follows Jesús and María, as they have just become parents but are still struggling as a couple. María isn’t very happy and complains all day, while Jesús looks pretty tired and clearly unhappy as well. When the duo go out to buy a new coffee table, Jesús is convinced he has found the right one, but María doesn’t like the model. Still, she lets him buy it.
When Jesús is trying to put the table together in the living room and María decides to get groceries for the dinner party they’ll be hosting later that night, tragedy strikes. It’s something unimaginable and extremely gory that precedes a cinematic exercise in absolute dread.
