2 Guys And A Chainsaw - A Horror Movie Review Podcast

This week, we dip back into the Wes Craven collection for what is arguably the very best film in the series - the super-meta mindbender that is Wes Craven's New Nightmare.

Not gonna lie: We loved this movie to death, and can't imagine any horror fan who wouldn't go crazy over the clever, funny, and supremely touching film that is The Final Girls. From beginning to end, it took us on a roller-coaster of emotions. And maybe we cried a little bit at the end? Just a little bit...

Consider the tag line: "You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they're people just like you. You're wrong. Dead wrong." Could a film from the 80's possibly be more timely today than John Carpenter's "They Live"?

Deadly Friend is the third Wes Craven film we've reviewed this year in the wake of his death.

Anyone out there heard of Ravenous? We thought not. This almost forgotten flick featured an all-star cast and a strong story, but flew almost completely under the radar. We unearth this unique gem and talk about what makes it so fun - and funny.

Sorority House Massacre 2 may be an exercise in boobs and ridiculousness, but it has a few tricks up its sleeve for those with the patience to sit through some atrocious acting and skimpy outfits.

Pet Sematary is beginning to show its age. Once considered one of the better of the Stephen King adaptations, we take some issue with that notion while still admiring a compelling story and one fantastic actor.

Todd is a big Jim Wynorski fan, and recommends this movie as a gateway into his cornball, highly entertaining earlier films, straight from Roger Corman's shop.

Funny Games is a shot-for-shot American remake of the 1997 Austrian film by the same director, Michael Haneke.

Craig and I have a divided opinion over this rare love-it-or-hate-it movie that's often described as "a live-action Scooby Doo." Not to be confused with the 1986 American horror film "House", or its comedy-horror sequel, "House 2".

It's a Godzilla movie told shaky-cam-style from the ground level, and we both agree it's pretty rad. Todd hadn't seen this one before, believe it or not.

If John Hughes directed horror films instead of angsty teen comedies, his first film would've been The Loved Ones. It's ultra-violent, but we found a surprisingly complex message beneath all the gore.

Currently out in the theaters now, The Witch wears its heart on its hand-sewn, river-washed sleeve. It reminded us of The Crucible - both in its content and in its pacing.

This week we dip back into comedy, where a case of mistaken-identity on the part of some overzealous college kids leads to their deaths and much confusion on the part of two rednecks just trying to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Many fans herald this as the best vampire tale of all time, so of course we had to give it a watch.

Marketed as a straight horror film, Troll is more a children's fantasy movie with some grotesque horror elements, along with some surprisingly touching material at times.

This classic established Lucio Fulci as one of Italy's most popular horror directors during the 70's.

Excision is a sublime horror movie with an all-star cast that seems to have flown completely under the radar.

This week, we dive into a whole new subgenre of film - the Italian giallo pic - with one of Dario Argento's finest pictures: Deep Red.

This unlikely cult hit kicked off a string of sequels - the latest of which should be released later this year. And none of them would have been hits if it weren't for the iconic character of The Tall Man. We honor Angus Scrimm's memory with a fresh, fair look at this classic from 1979.

It's been a long time since we've seen a cannibal-themed horror film. Eli Roth's passion project is a shout-out to the genre, and we really, REALLY wanted to like it. Find out why it left a bad taste in our mouths in this week's episode.

Though it boasts a cast that is way too good on paper to crank out such a schlockfest, at least it has one thing going for it: A memorable theme song. Repeated over and over.

We're a bit puzzled why this 80's slasher has remained under the radar for so long since its release.

We loved the unique setting and situation in this evil Santa story, even if it was a letdown at points.

A cuit classic in some circles, we weren't quite sure what to make of this weird little film. But we had a lot more to say about it than we thought we would!
