A new horror comedy starring Taron Egerton, “Everybody Wants to Fuck Me,” presents a London-set story in which a soft-spoken man becomes cursed with what he believes is his ultimate fantasy, with the situation turning violent and escalating beyond his control.
Outlets describe the film as blending multiple genres, including romantic comedy, body horror and elements of gender-related satire. Variety frames the movie as reviving discussion around themes of victimhood and villainy that had followed Egerton’s prior breakout role in “Obsession,” while noting that the new title builds on a similar premise of desires being “over-satisfied.” IndieWire similarly characterizes the film as cynical and scattered, while also linking it to the character’s fear of commitment.
While the reviews differ in emphasis—Variety highlights genre-crossing satire and social subtext, and IndieWire stresses the film’s scattershot execution and Egerton’s “soft boi” framing—they both center on the same core plot: a cursed fantasy that turns into a horror-comedy scenario.
