We review 3 horror movies each week with humor & insight. New, old, funny, scary, we love ‘em all.
This week we enjoy the feel-bad hits of the winter with Coming Home in the Dark and Hosts. Exam is intriguing, but ultimately feels like a stretched-out Black Mirror episode more than a feature.
Next week: Stuff! We're watching:
Flesh for Frankenstein (Shudder)
We Need to Do Something (Hulu)
Devil's Doorway (AMC/Amazon)
This week we dig on The Advent Calendar and Seance on a Wet Afternoon. We also have respect for Silent Night, but aren't sure exactly what it's getting at.
Given our travel and other stuff plans for the holidays, this will be the last show of 2021. Enjoy and we'll get back atcha in the new year, when we'll review:
Coming Home in the Dark(Netflix)
Exam (Prime)
Hosts (Shudder)
Watch along and we'll see you in 2022.
This week we snooze through Strings, yawn at Haunt, and one of us reallly likes Prisoners of the Ghostland. Hint: Rhymes with "Barley."
Next week we're watching:
Silent Night (Amazon-AMC)
Advent Calendar (Shudder)
Seance on a Wet Afternoon (HBO Max)
Our short is The Rickety Man. Watch along and we'll chat soon.
This time around, we ponder the preponderance of ponderous indie horror movies. We also dig the freaky mysticism of Medium and are amused by the jet-black comedy (we think?) of The Columnist.
Next week:
Prisoners of the Ghostland (Shudder)
The Strings (Shudder)
Haunt (Shudder)
Watch along and we'll chat soon.
This week Matt and Josh are enthusiastic about Horror Noire and There's Someone Inside Your House, but Charlie is somewhat less so. We all agree that Hypnotic is a little bit fun but mostly forgettable, save for the incomparable Kate Seigel.
Next week, it's all Shudder all the time:
Our short is Vincent. Watch along and we'll chat soon.
This week we look at some smaller indie films, with varying results. The Manor is a thoroughly satisfying, amazingly acted exploration of old age. The Censor has some style and thrills, but not a lot of substance. And Bingo Hell is... very well made.
Next week, we're watching:
There's Someone Inside Your House (Netflix)
Hypnotic (Netflix)
Horror Noire (Shudder)
Our short is Abracitos. Watch along and we'll chat soon.
This time around, we take on Halloween Kills and we're not angry, just a smidge disappointed. We're also underwhelmed by Seance and agreeably whelmed by V/H/S/9/4.
Next time, we're watching:
Censor (Hulu)
The Manor (Amazon)
Bingo Hell (Amazon)
This week we have faint but extant praise for Creepshow 0301, and rapturous worship for Midnight Mass.
Next week, we're watching:
Halloween Kills (Peacock)
Seance (Shudder)
V/H/S/94 (Shudder)
The conversation is pointed and the stakes are high as we review three vampire movies. We're not sure that Nosferatu the Vampyre justifies its existence, and we disagree on whether Bit is mostly neat or mostly annoying, but we all can attest that Bela Lugosi is the real deal.
Next time, we're watching:
Midnight Mass (Netflix), as many episodes as we can all get through
Creepshow Season 3, episodes 1 & 2
Watch along and we'll chat soon.
This week we dig on Superhost, trip out on Attic Expeditions, and are split on whether Malignant is big dumb fun, or just big dumb.
Next week, it's all vampires all the time. We're watching:
Bit (Amazon Prime)
Dracula 1931 (Rental)
Nosferatu the Vampyr (Rental)
Our short is Bakemono. Watch along and we'll chat soon.
