Our take
Toaster is a dark comedy about a miser obsessed with a wedding-gift toaster that triggers murder and chaos. Expect bloody violence, self-harm references, sexual talk, and grotesque humor. Extremely mature tone for adult horror-comedy fans only
Story (may spoil tone)
Murder and chaos erupt when a miser becomes obsessed with a toaster he gave as a wedding gift.

Talk after watching
- Obsession with objects can mirror deeper greed. What human need does the toaster represent?
- Dark comedy mixes laughs with shock. When did humor feel too close to harm?
- Horror satire targets consumer culture. What wedding or gift rituals feel pressured?
