Watch the slasher flick Mr. Robot’s Elliot and Darlene love
We’re in a golden age of web extras for TV shows. After getting to dive into Veep’s official website for the in-show documentary Kissing Your Sister, we now are able to watch nearly nine minutes of the horror movie Elliot (Rami Malek) and Darlene (Carly Chaikin) view in a flashback at the beginning of last week’s episode of Mr. Robot. The fictional film, called The Careful Massacre Of The Bourgeoisie, is a slasher flick from 1984, which Darlene calls “the root” of her and her brothers’ “psychological dysfunction.” (Any dedicated Mr. Robot viewer knows that means a lot.) It’s available to view at this link, in all of its grainy, VHS glory. Funnily enough, the film was produced by the very company Elliot and Darlene endeavor to take down. At the beginning, the logo for E Corp Home Entertainment flashes. Spooky.
