Want a rom-com where instead of a funny best friend the protag has an unexplained little ghoul that won’t stop trying to kill them. The rest of the film is a regular rom com besides the tiny goblin that wants them dead.
Listen. I don’t want this played as a horror even remotely. I don’t even want it acknowledged by other characters, or played as funny or wacky. It’s not ridiculous. It’s a film with the exact tone of, say, When Harry Met Sally except there is a very real little gremlin creature who every 20 minutes or so, bursts in wielding a knife attempting to murder the protagonist. It has no bearing on the plot and is never resolved.
