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?

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?
