Saw may have dulled over time, but it is still a good horror movie and was definitely influential during the 2000s. The simple premise of catch-22 torture traps is an effective hook, but sometimes the twisty turny plot is a bit forced. … [Read more...] about Saw Review

This week we review the 2012 horror hot, Sinister. A film with properly disturbing imagery, but improperly matched script. Later on we check our voicemail and answer questions from listeners. … [Read more...] about Sinister Review

Patrons voted last month, and now we’re reviewing Ghost Ship, and it’s... from the early 2000’s. If you are in the mood for some modern schlock, then maybe it's worth the $3 to watch the whole movie. But really, this movie's opening scene sets expectations way too high for itself. … [Read more...] about Ghost Ship (2002) Review

This week we follow up David's favorite "horror" movie of all time, with my favorite horror movie of all time: The Exorcist. Every time I revisit it, I'm reminded that it truly is a masterpiece. … [Read more...] about The Exorcist Review

This is a different kind of episode. You can’t see this movie yet, well at least not with some difficulty.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is a fictionalized, and harrowing vérité portrayal of real life serial Henry Lee Lucas. This is a movie that will stick with you and make you feel dirty. We've been sitting on this review for a while, but are excited that it is finally seeing the light. We recorded it back in September of 2019 to be a backup episode when we needed to take a week off. Turn's out, we rarely take a week off. … [Read more...] about Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer Review

Candyman 2020 was supposed to be coming out in theaters this week, but that obviously isn't happening. To tide over your sweet tooth for Candyman, we'll be reviewing the original this week. Also in this week's episode of Horror Movie Talk, we discuss our new logo, play a new game, and read comments from social media from listeners like you. … [Read more...] about Candyman (1992) Review

This week we watched As Above, So Below on Netflix. This tight package of a found footage adventure horror holds up very well over the years. Maybe we're too easily impressed, but when a horror movie sets up a compelling premise, has interesting characters with motivations that makes sense, and a plot that maintains interest, it's hard to be displeased. On today's episode, we review As Above, So Below, play a new trivia game with Ben Warrington, and read the latest from Horror Movie Talk's social media accounts. … [Read more...] about As Above, So Below Review
