The reactions to the phone call range from disgust and offence to amusement.

The House That Jack Built Review
December 05, 2018 08:01 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBThe House that Jack Built isn’t getting a wide release until December 14th, but we went to a one night only showing of the director’s cut a month early at the Cinema 21 in Portland. So this is a rare instance where we can provide a review well in advance of a wide release. https://youtu.be/c6DuLPGZIoQ The film tells the story of an unassuming, yet prolific serial killer named Jack. It's told through a series of 5 short vignettes of some of his notable kills. It’s told over the course of 12 ...
The Ritual Review
November 28, 2018 07:01 - 49 minutes - 22.6 MBALL HAIL NETFLIX! Now that we have that out of the way let’s talk about The Ritual, a Netflix original movie that was released on the streaming platform in February of 2018. I can’t believe that movies of this caliber, that is to say, theatrical release worthy movies, are created in the quiet depths of a streaming platform. I didn’t hear much about the production of this movie. Instead, it just showed up on my Netflix suggestion bar, and I watched it. There must be a better way to hype these ...

If you haven’t seen Hereditary, and you are reading this, STOP! Watch the movie. It's available to stream on Amazon. I don’t want to argue about this, go now, watch it. Here is the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/embed/V6wWKNij_1M You should go into this movie knowing nothing about it. I say this with certainty because I went in to see Hereditary witho...
Overlord Review
November 14, 2018 07:01 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBIf you want to watch Overlord, please consider renting or purchasing the movie through this amazon linkto help us support the podcast. Overlord was fun, very loud, and not to be taken too seriously. https://www.youtube.com/embed/USPd0vX2sdc Overlord is a fun action-horror movie with intense emphasis on disturbing body horror and super stereotypical Nazi bad guys. It’s got everything you need for an action movie - incredible sound, crazy intense physical fights, gun battles, chase scenes,...

Halloween (1978) Review
October 31, 2018 07:01 - 58 minutes - 40 MBIf you want to watch Halloween (1978), please consider renting or purchasing the movie through this amazon link to help us support the podcast. John Carpenter’s original Halloween released in 1978 is a pillar of the horror movie genre. Halloween helped to pave the way for slashers and created tropes and techniques that are still used to this day to great effect. When it comes to fun, seasonal horror movies, you can’t do much better than this. Today Halloween still stands up on its own but be...
Halloween (2018) Review
October 24, 2018 07:01 - 1 hour - 45.9 MBHalloween is the direct sequel to the original Halloween released in 1978 that ignores the story lines and continuity of the 9 other sequels and/or reboots. There have been so many Halloweens, that this is the third one called, just, Halloween. This round is helmed by David Gordon Green who wrote it with Danny McBride. Yes, that Danny McBride. If you want to watch Halloween (2018) please consider renting or purchasing the movie through this amazon link to help us support the podcast. Hallow...

October 17, 2018 07:01 - 52 minutes - 35.9 MBIf you want to watch Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich please consider renting or purchasing the movie through this amazon link to help us support the podcast. Synopsis of Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich is a reboot of one of the most popular cult classic horror franchises in the past 30 years, and it’s fun for all the right reasons. It is irreverent, funny, fun, completely gratuitous and extremely violent. If you are new to the series, it doesn’t do a fa...
Spiral Review and Interview with Robin Block from In Search of Darkness
October 10, 2018 07:05 - 1 hour - 63.7 MBSpiral is an independent horror film that we got an advance screener for. The filmmaker for Spiral reached out to us on Facebook and invited us to review the movie. This made us feel like hotshots, so of course we’re going to do it. It was… interesting. If you want to watch Spiral, you should be able to watch it on Amazon Prome Video. If you want to watch a better movie, please consider renting or purchasing through this amazon link to help us support the podcast. Here’s the Trailer. https...
Hellfest Review
October 03, 2018 07:01 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBHellfest is a traveling horror night that rolls into town and a group of friends get VIP passes to go and enjoy the spooks. Think of it as a haunted house that covers an entire theme park. Little do they know that hidden among the park employees is a masked killer that picks off visitors that aren’t scared. Hellfest is Directed by Gregory Plotkin, and I feel he took a huge Plotkin on the slasher genre. Plotkin has spent most of his career as an editor, most notably Second assistant editor on...
The Evil Within Review
September 26, 2018 07:01 - 50 minutes - 34.5 MBThe Evil Within is the first and only film from writer, director Andrew Getty. The film follows a mentally handicapped thirty year-old man named Dennis (Frederick Koehler), and tangentially, his older brother John (Sean Patrick Flanery). Dennis is haunted by his dreams, where a nefarious presence played by Michael Berryman, seeks to torture and ultimately possess him. The nightmares quickly become reality as the evil presence communicates to Dennis in his waking hours through his reflection i...
The Predator Review
September 19, 2018 15:02 - 1 hour - 46.9 MBWhen was the last time that you had a total blast watching a movie? For me it was this weekend at The Predator. This movie is a blast from start to finish. While not technically a horror movie, The Predator is tied to a “horror/action/sci-fi” franchise that is subsequently tied to the Alien franchise. If you want to watch The Predator, please consider renting or purchasing the movie through this amazon link to help us support the podcast. If you have seen any of the other movies in the fr...
The Nun Review
September 12, 2018 07:01 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBThe Nun is another entry in the Conjuring Universe. This film delves into the backstory of the scary painting from The Conjuring 2. If that seems unnecessary to you, than you will probably find it unnecessary to watch this movie. If however, you just can't get enough of the world of the conjuring, then this is a decent entry in that series. https://youtu.be/pzD9zGcUNrw The Nun Trailer The Nun is set in 1952 at a Romanian convent is tormented by an evil presence. A tragedy involving a young...
The Little Stranger Review
September 05, 2018 07:01 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBThe Little Stranger is a little known horror film that came out in 2018 that toes the line between murder mystery and horror movie. It is very English in it's sensibility and might remind you more of the Turn of the Screw or The Remains of the Day than The Conjuring If you love scary movies, but wish they were more like The Remains of the Day, then you might like The Little Stranger. It can be found in theaters right now. The Little Stranger is about Dr. Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson), an engli...
The Meg Review
August 24, 2018 23:44 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBThe Meg is a run-of-the-mill, but well-executed monster movie starring Jason Statham and the sovereign nation of China. Jason Statham plays Jonus Taylor, an expert rescue diver who is retired after a tragically failed rescue, which Jonus blames on a giant fish or something (but no one believes him). He is brought out of retirement after another diving accident befalls his ex-wife who was researching the deepest, hidden depths of the ocean. Before her video feed cuts out, she says “Jonus was r...
Slender Man Movie Review
August 13, 2018 11:16 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MBThe hardest part about watching Slender Man, for me, is having to sit down and write about it now. Don’t get me wrong, the watching of the movie was not fun in any way, shape, or form. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the individual parts of this movie because there really weren’t any. It was one big confusing mess that director Sylvain White cobbled together from writing duo David Birke and Slender Man character creator Victor Surge. If you want to watch Slender Man, please c...
Unfriended: Dark Web Review
July 28, 2018 06:01 - 51 minutes - 35.2 MBUnfriended: Dark Web is the sequel to the 2014 movie, Unfriended, and if you saw the first movie you might be bracing for impact – don’t. Dark Web is a great deal more enjoyable than the first movie, and only ports over the computer screen viewing format of Unfriended. If you want to watch Unfriended: Dark Web, please consider renting or purchasing the movie through this amazon link to help us support the podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DJAWGXkvq8 There isn’t much else that ties ...
The Devil’s Doorway Review
July 25, 2018 04:48 - 1 hour - 41.9 MBThis found footage movie focuses on one of Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries, which you would think would provide enough basis for solid terror to be spooky on its own. As it turns out, The Devil’s Doorway is not terribly spooky, it’s not even spoopy, it just kind of is. If you want to watch The Devil's Doorway consider renting or purchasing the movie through this link to help us support the podcast. This movie focuses on two priests who are sent to investigate some reports of miracles that wer...
