Final Transmission

This week, Sam and Jamie are back in potential desecration territory with the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead. Tom Savini has a go at reanimating the classic and we decide whether it should have stayed dead. How could you make Night of the Living Dead more bleak? Should a Tom Savini-directed movie have actual good special effects? Where is all the damn gore? We answer all of these question...

This week, Sam and Jamie are joining Unity Field and getting fired up about Bad Dreams. Did you ever see that movie where a burned up guy terrorises the beautiful and bad Jennifer Rubin in a facility for troubled youths? Not that one, the other one... Could Bad Dreams somehow be more than just an Elm Street clone? Is there a worse credits needle drop than Sweet Child O' Mine? Would you ever accept...

Sam and Jamie get deep down and dirty with this Turkish nightmare as they try and figure out what the *hell* is going on. If you've ever told the cops to go to hell, then this is the perfect movie for you.  What's with the frogs? Is this movie based on a lie? Why is Jamie so scared of scare attractions? We answer all of these questions and more, right here on Final Transmission. Do your bit: Suppo...

This week, we're talking legacy sequels and sacred cows with Psycho II. Norman Bates is back and this time, he's sane! Or is he? Two questions: 1. Is it appropriate to make a sequel to Psycho? 2. Why is it so good? We answer both of these, and much much more.   Do your bit: Support Final Transmission on Patreon Follow us on Instagram Follow the Spotify playlist Check out Red Scare Industries Artwo...

It's time to charge up your secret armpit wanger because we're getting down and dirty with some classic early Cronenberg. This week, we're talking Rabid (1977).

Here we are again and this time we're covering Wolfen from 1981 - starring Albert Finney as a down and out detective investigating a series of animal attacks. We take a huge bite out of this underappreciated classic as well as (sort of) settling the age-old question: Which 1981 werewolf movie is the best? We also talk cinema snacks, our favourite film noir tropes, and the decimation and subjugatio...

This week we're getting creepy AND crawly as we get up close and personal with Ticks (1993). It's gooey, it's icky, and we have a lot of fun discussing it. We also discuss sitcom stardom, nepo babies, sequel setups, and a whole bunch about Clint Howard.   Do your bit: Support Final Transmission on Patreon Follow us on Instagram Follow the Spotify playlist Check out Red Scare Industries Artwork by...

Well, I guess it's time to get completely horrible because we're talking about Cannibal Holocaust - the dick-choppingest, head-smashingest, most hyper-realistic jungle cannibal nightmare flick going.  Things of note this week: The audacity of comparing this movie to Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo Jamie describes his favourite movie penis mutilations The phrase: "blapped in the noodle" Sam's special...

What has Daddy sent this month? Why it's our review of XTRO (1982) of course! It might be the grottiest, squelchiest, weirdest sci-fi horror to come out of 1980s England but does it hold up? And what was the cocaine budget?   Do your bit: Support Final Transmission on Patreon Follow us on Instagram Follow the Spotify playlist Check out Red Scare Industries Artwork by Dismay Design

It's time to chill yourself right out because we're giving Toby Wilkins' 2008 genre-smashing, low-budget, pulse-pounding creature feature Splinter the full Final Transmission treatment. Important questions this week: Could we cast this movie better? Will we agree on where the goo came from? Who is more disturbed by the breezeblock scene? All these questions, and so many more, are answered on this...

It's party time so we're diving straight into Trick or Treat - a classic of the niche subgenre devoted to heavy metal horror.

Featuring digressions including Jamie's favourite X Files episodes, our correspondence w...
