What do Edgar Wright, Glen Powell, Stephen King, and Arnold Schwarzenegger have in common? A remake, of course! And this one sounds pretty good. We also talk about Mila Jovovich’s next zombie movie. It is not another Resident Evil movie, but is the end of a looooong running franchise.

Strange Darling received rave reviews upon it’s release. While it didn’t make the same box office impression of some other indie horror films released this year, those who had a chance to see it were impressed.Naturally, we talk about the awesomeness of Kyle Gallner, but how did the rest of the cast do? Was the non linear style necessary? And how well did it convey its themes?

The Substance has been wowing audiences since winning the Best Screenplay award at its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. A gross body horror with an odd sense of humor, the film is big and bold. Whether it is disgusting scenes, flagrant nudity, or in your face messaging, the film is relentless.

We talk about feminist messaging, when gratuitous nudity is actually necessary, and how to effectively cram a message down the audience’s throat. Does this movie really check off all the boxes for Blake or was he just set up for a major disappointment? Is this truly Demi Moore's best performances?

We usually start the show off with the latest genre news. It may be time to just start calling our opening segment, “What remake is next?” This week it is all about the Wayans brothers returning to the Scary Movie franchise. Plus, their importance to comedy and the Super Bowl. We also discuss the potential American Psycho remake and who we would like to see in it.

In a Violent Way is unlike any slasher that has come out since…well, possibly ever. It uses some of the expected tropes - over the top kills, friends camping in the woods, a Big Bad who cannot be stopped - but it is the rare film in the subgenre that critics seem to love. But what do audiences think?

For years we have talked about how we trust the opinions the the audiences over critics. We were once told that we are just guys who watch movies. We have totally embraced that and completely agree. At the same time, we spend each week taking apart movies and, well, critiquing them. Obviously, this puts us in an awkward position. But it also means we are a combination that makes the best authority. So, what did we think of In a Violent Nature?

Normally, nostalgia is a good thing. Especially when it gives you the chance to look back on your teenage years. Yeah, there is some embarrassing stuff that will make you shake your head, but coming of age stories are popular for a reason. And besides, the stupid stuff you did when you were fifteen is a lot easier to explain than the dumb shit you do in your forties.

Director’s Cut is a reminder of younger days. It is the rare instance when it is not a good thing. Juvenile writing, horrible characters, and writing that is too on the nose are just some of the examples of what went wrong. And those may be its strong points.

It has been years since the new Blade movie was announced to much fanfare. Since then there have been rumors and turmoil. With the latest news that the movie has been removed from its release date of next year, now is the time to ask; is Blade cursed?

VHS tapes were a huge part of our young lives. They shaped what movies we would watch for the rest of our lives. Advancements in technology have made them all but obsolete for any reason aside from collecting. That is what makes the recent announcement regarding Alien: Romulus so exciting.

There are a number of well known horror anthologies. The most popular may be a Halloween one that spawned a franchise, costumes, and is loved by adults and kids. This week, we talk about 10-31. Five stories in an hour and a half. Great special effects, gory slashings, a story one of us could remember nothing about. This movie has it all.

One of the most important parts of Halloween is the fun that surrounds it. We all love a good scare, but this is also the time of year to have a good laugh. Members Club is an import from the UK that is filled with scary moments, but also tells a heartwarming story.

Folk horror complete with witches, hags, and symbols? Check. Disgusting kills? You got it. Full frontal nudity? Plenty. This is a horror movie that knows how to gross its audience out while having fun at the same time. It is not just perfect for Halloween; it is an all around good time.

We had a long talk about the Terrfier franchise and Art the Clown last week. Based on the surprising box office receipts from this past weekend, it would seem we are in the minority. When did that ever change our opinions? Plus, everybody dies. And that’s fucked up.

Has there ever been an internet challenge that isn’t stupid? Ghost Game offers up possibly the dumbest one yet. Those who do the challenge are tasked to break into a house and live with the inhabitant without getting caught. Bad idea for a prank; great premise for a horror movie.

Along with a great premise, Ghost Game boasts a near perfect setting. It takes place in a home that looks just like you think a haunted house should. The grounded story gives a different feel to what is otherwise a very traditional horror story. It operates on many levels.

It is a shame that the writing is unable to keep up. The characters lack motivation and much of the plot feels directionless. We do not expect much from any haunted house movie; we just want to have a good time. For everything it does right, Ghost Game does even more wrong.

Falling Stars is a modern folk horror tale about witches. Putting the story in the isolated American southwest is a wise decision. There is a sense of loneliness and fear that goes beyond the supernatural. Paradoxically, the idea of togetherness is a very strong theme.

The film is a patient one that builds tension through strong storytelling. The performances are fantastic and there is great chemistry between the three leads. It is a slow burn, but it is something to put on your radar. Falling Stars tells a beautiful and frightening story that works for any time of year.

Christmas is the second scariest holiday of the year. From scary decorations to Christmas horror movies, there are a lot of things for horror fans to look forward to during the Yuletide season. It makes complete sense that Spirit Halloween would have a Spirit Christmas store. Though it is disappointing that they do not seem to be going a more horror-centric direction with it.

We know what we are in for when we are going to cover a movie from The Asylum. Halloween Night from 2006 sounded as original as anything else they have ever done. The plot focuses on a young boy who has spent a decade in an asylum and is now heading home to wreak havoc. Oh yeah. It is also set on Halloween.

If only it were that derivative. The story somehow manages to be straightforward and confusing. The Big Bad is one of the best from the studio. Unfortunately, he is offset by a lead who is one of the worst in cinema history. This describes Halloween Night in a nutshell. For everything it does right, it does a number of things completely wrong. But if you are participating in a 31 Days Horror Challenge is it worth a watch?

We have covered a few Stephen King adaptations on our humble little podcast. We have yet to cover a really great one. The third Salem's Lot remake had a lot going against it. The source material is one of King's best and Tobe Hooper's take on the story is iconic. Add in that the 2024 version has been in limbo for a few years and you have a recipe for disappointment.

We have yet to cover a truly awesome King movie, but the latest version of Salem's Lot does a lot of good things. The question here is not if it is actually good, but will people accept it? It seems to boil down to how familiar you are with other versions of the tale. It is by no means a masterpiece, but it may serve as a great introduction into one of the most important names in horror history.

When was the last great take on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein? We try to figure that out as we discuss the upcoming Netflix release from Guillermo del Toro. It probably has a lot more going for it than the Anaconda remake starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black.

John Candy is an absolute legend. He was funny, charming, and a great actor. We leapt at the chance to cover one of his earliest roles. Not only was it a horror movie, but it was set on Halloween. Sure, he was still fining his way, but what better way to start the spooky season?

As it turns out, 1976’s The Clown Murders is one of the worst things we have ever covered on this show. Candy is a non-factor, the movie is filled with enough misogyny to make David (no longer) Lee Roth blush, and has exactly zero killings committed by a clown. On the plus side, the characters are annoying, the story makes absolutely no sense, and the ending will leave the audience confused.

Haunt Season sounds like it has the potential to be fun. Set in a haunted house attraction, a mysterious killer begins taking out the employees. It has been done countless times before and is the perfect watch for Halloween. The only question is whether the filmmakers and cast are able to pull it off or if it is just another boring slasher.

The movie constantly surprises. It is a slasher through and through, but it is tonally unlike many similar films. There is a documentary feel to Haunt Season that gives it a grounded and natural feel. The performances are perfect and the pacing draws anyone watching into the story. Add some great kills and you have an excellent watch for October.

We really didn’t care about the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot. It just seemed like another tired reboot of what was already a ripoff. In other words, we weren't really interested. How did its latest casting announcement bring some credibility?

How long ago was the Blade movie announced? How many writer and director changes has it gone through? What are the chances that it begins production in the next three years? Is it even going to come out? In the meantime, there is the new vampire flick from Ryan Coogler to discusss.

It has literally been years since we last had a anthology on our humble little podcast. Tenants has an interesting premise. A woman wakes up in the parking garage of an apartment complex. As she looks for her sister, each encounter leads to horror.
All the tools are here for a fun anthology. Stories of mysterious rashes, lost love, and awful roommates are just a part of m what Tenants has to offer. All are tropes of the subgenre, but the film makes odd decisions that negatively impact the viewing experience.

True crime documentaries have covered every subject you can think of. So what would be the point in making a fake one that is not a spoof? Strange Harvest: Occult Murder in the Inland Empire attempts to answer this question by weaving a captivating story filled with creepy characters and gory kills .It does not succeed at everything, but it is still one of the best entries in the genre.

It has been an odd year for horror at the box office. While the big name movies have done little to move the needle, indie horror is doing record breaking business. There is one notable exception that has not made this a complete shutout for horror in theaters. And it is not one of the many theatrical re-releases that have come out this year.

Voice of Shadows gets off to a confusing start. It has an emotionally charged monologue that is immediately followed by a title card that includes two upside down crosses and a pentagram. Someone watching will have no idea what to expect. It is not long before it is clear you are going to be in for a lot of the former and little of the latter.

It ends up being a rough watch and it is not hard to see why. The lead actor is not able to believably pull off what the script requires. This may not be entirely his fault - he is tasked to carry all of the film’s emotion for the entire hour and a half - but it is very noticeable. Paired with a cut and paste plot that still manages to be confusing and a litany of plot holes, and Voice of Shadows becomes a very rough watch.

Lord of Wolves is unlike any werewolf movie we have ever seen. (To be fair, to call it a werewolf movie is not entirely accurate.) It has a number of strong characters, a deep message, and relies little on transformations and gore. It is a character study, but not in the same way these types of films tend to be.

There is a lot going on here in a short amount of time. It really should not work. And yet, strong storytelling and a strong mystery will keep audiences interested. The creature design manages to be simultaneously badass and hokey. It could have been something special if not for one thing.
