We both loved the movie! So you should go to Netflix, watch it right away, and then come back and listen. Because we got a LOT of spoilin' ta do...
This 1991 production, heavily promoted by HBO at the time, mixing classic gumshoe detective noir with magic, monsters, and a huge pile of stars. The result is this oddly forgotten movie that retains its charms - magical or otherwise - decades later, requested by loyal listener, Nathan. Whether you're a fan of the detective, fantasy, or horror genre, there's something in here for you. Check it out!
With special effects from Carlo Rambaldi and the direct involvement of writer Umberto Lenzi, this is gore-laden time capsule that will tug at the nostalgia strings of most 80's kids like us. And a special thank you to loyal listener, Jason, for requesting this!
But being Halloween season, we could not resist revisiting this underrated, surprisingly frightening family film from the Robert Zemeckis/Stephen Spielberg ImageMovers team. If you're looking for a good Halloween flick to watch with the fam, check it out! Then listen to us yammer on about it...
Vincent Price, John Carrradine and Donald Pleasance round out half of what was supposed to be an assemblage of the 6 gentlemen of classic horror. Still, we get an anthology of three spooky tales spooky, sad, and funny, surrounded by a quirky wraparound story and three surprisingly catchy interstitial rock tunes. And if you REALLY want the full Halloween experience, check below for Elvira's commentary - not once, but twice.
At the same time they were writing the soon-to-be-hit-film, A Quiet Place, writer/directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods were toiling away on this nasty thriller. Evocative of movies like Hostel and Saw, it's no surprise that Eli Roth decided to nurture and produce Haunt. We're looking forward to more horror in the future from this duo.
Our last film before October begins is cobbled together from home movies shot during the holidays, starting out, appropriately enough, with Halloween. Home Movie is difficult to find nowadays, but fans of the found footage genre should give it a watch.
That makes the horror even scarier. We're fans of the "found footage" conceit, and this faux-documentary gives a slightly different spin on the genre.
This zom-com fulfills a long-time request by ever-patient listener, Francis. The dead are attacking, and old and young alike must take up arms to defend themselves in merry-old England.
One would even think it's supposed to be a kid's movie except for the pervasive sexual humor. What a romp. TerrorVision: You just have to see it to believe it.
The sequel to the original is bizarre and strange. But that certainly gave us a lot to talk about - particularly the Driller Killer's inexplicable update to a baffling dream-demon-slash-rockabilly-badass. Song and dance numbers abound. Check out our review of this video store hit!
Nonetheless, we still enjoyed discussing this Charles Band production, directed by Roger Corman's long-time special effects wizard, John Carl Buechler. A comic book artists brings a creature to life through her drawings that feeds off of...creativity. Big thanks to Jennifer for requesting this one!
It's a brutal film, but full of raw emotion and just edge-of-your-seat mystery that made us forget completely that it's over 2 hours long. Check it out!
This "horror" film would have been better off as part of our kids' horror movie theme months. Nevertheless, we both held curiously fond memories about the inaugural episode of this long-lasting series of films. Starring Warwick Davis, Leprechaun went to some crazy places - Vegas, The Hood (twice) and even outer space. We decided we'd start tackling this franchise by starting with the first, starring a fresh-faced Jennifer Aniston in her first film role, just a year before Friends.
Who's Watching Oliver certainly divided us and is not to everyone's taste. But with fantastic acting and cinematography, we did agree that the film had merit. If you wanna check it out, it's on a couple streaming services right now.
