I say apparently because that isn't very clear to me. Has some interesting touches and sound effects but no laughs - unless you count the zombie-like character getting into his own grave at the end.

Dead of Night / Deathdream (1974 Bob Clark)
Apparently, Alan Ormsby's screenplay is supposed to be a Vietnam commentary as dead soldier (John Marley) comes home, sits sullenly in a rocking chair and begins to murder random people including a truck driver, a doctor and his ex - not very friendly. And his parents' marriage starts looking rather rocky to boot (they are Lynn Carlin and Richard Backus). In fact it sounds like his dad shoots himself towards the end...?
