This Spanish-language film takes place in a Barcelona apartment building, as a television producer gets trapped in a quarantine situation with a deadly outbreak. Todd usually doesn't like this sort of thing, but he enjoyed this film.
Ah, where to begin with this one? Scary it is not, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a more wacky or off-putting film in all of cinema. We wish we could say we were taken in by its charms, but some rather disgusting antics in this movie turned our stomachs more than mere goriness ever could.
By the end, we were unexpectedly touched by this dated but unique "killer baby" movie.
This slow burn creep-fest really got under our skin and we enjoyed discussing its many nuances.
Who knew there was such a market for mediocre killer puppet movies?
We're both happy to discuss this Mario Bava giallo flick, which turned out to be the granddaddy of the slasher genre that came to prominence a decade later in the 80's. Yes, the plot is convoluted. But at least there IS a plot. Listen as we attempt to unravel it.
This Roger Corman-produced Alien-ripoff also happened to send a young James Cameron on his way to film stardom. It's hard to deny the strong resemblance between this film and Aliens, which he would later write and direct. Thanks, Ryan, for the suggestion!
Thank you, Mr. DeCouteau, for your tireless efforts at making movies that people want to watch.
Loyal listener Jordyn picked this week's movie, so we invited her along to discuss with us the utterly disturbing 2012 film, Sinister, starring Ethan Hawke.
Not many people outside the die-hard horror circles have even heard of George Romero's vampire tale, Martin. Sometime between Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, he made a few movies that failed to connect with a large audience. This would be one of them.
Our good friend and self-professed Jeff Goldblum fanatic, Simone, joins us on an adventure into sadness and absolutely disgusting makeup effects.
Our tribute episode to the late, great Bill Paxton, who puts a chilling yet lovable turn on the classic vampire-biker-western genre.
House (1986)
Although we are clearly not the target audience for this film, we did find some redeeming qualities in this otherwise missable flick. Plus you get to hear two white guys stumbling over themselves to remain objective about subjects with which they have little to no experience.
Simon Pegg's debut to American audiences fires on all cylinders as a rollicking comedy. Yet it's the strong characters and heart that elevates this far above most of the other horror comedies we've reviewed thus far.
