Someone Literally Turned 2016 Into A Horror Movie

When art imitates reality, s**t gets scary.

Everyone’s been saying it: 2016 was one traumatic year.

It’s the year we lost David Bowie, Harper Lee, Prince, and Princess Leia and her mother . It’s the year the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union . It’s the year Donald Trump was voted president of the United States . It’s the year Harambe was shot .

These past 12 months have played out like a surreal horror film so Friend Dog Studios turned the year into one, in the form of a fake movie trailer.

The comedy studio premiered the trailer Wednesday for “2016: The Movie ,” and it hits way too close to home.

The trailer’s story touches all the shitty things that happened this year, including notable deaths , exploding phones  and Trump’s “locker room talk ” defense.

If there’s anything this movie trailer does, it confirms that we’re not just going crazy: This year felt bad universally.

And whatever you do, don’t trust the boyfriend in the video above when he says, “It’s OK. It’s not like it could get any worse.”
