Oh, it's definitely played for laughs in places, as well as being dark and creepy.Yes, liked The Squid Game a lot.
Though not sure that I should’ve found it quite as hilarious as I did.
I wonder if abrupt tonal shifts are a South Korean thing. One outstanding example is the film, The Wailing, which has moments of absurd slapstick (think Keystone Cops) while also being one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen. The ending in particular evokes a visceral sense of helplessness in the face of evil.
