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

The Exorcist 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
Alien (1979) Review
Alien is an incredible movie that did amazing things for horror, sci-fi, and cinema as a whole. It imagined an incredible amount of very real-seeming possibilities for space travel and contact with other life forms that impresses me to this day despite being 41 years old. … [Read more...] about Alien (1979) Review
The Brain That Wouldn’t Die (2020) Review and Filmmakers Interview
This is a different kind of episode. You can’t see this movie yet, well at least not with some difficulty. This is a feature that I saw at the Portland Horror Film Festival, and it was by far my favorite. This will be available for streaming probably at the end of the year. It’s making the festival run right now, so if you can catch it at one, definitely do. … [Read more...] about The Brain That Wouldn’t Die (2020) Review and Filmmakers Interview
The Lodge (2019) Review
The Lodge is a movie that is heavy in tone and aesthetic, that went to great lengths to disguise the danger and keep the audience guessing as to what or who may be behind the nefarious details of the story. … [Read more...] about The Lodge (2019) Review
Hellraiser Review
Clive Barker's Hellraiser is a transgressive journey into a world where the lines between ecstasy, pain, heaven, and hell are blurred. It stands as a unique counterpoint to the one-note slashers of the 1980s. … [Read more...] about Hellraiser Review
Tremors Review
We watched tremors and I have to say that this may be the epitome of a made-for-TV-movie feeling movie. I’ve seen it 20 times and I’ll see it 20 more during my life, and that’s a good thing. … [Read more...] about Tremors Review
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer Review
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
Scream Review
Scream is maybe the best slasher ever made. It's also the horror movie of the 90’s in every way that you can imagine. More than that, it’s a meta take on the genre of slashers. … [Read more...] about Scream Review
