Episode 2 of our "The Turn of The Screw" miniseries takes a look at Michael Winner's 1971 original prequel THE NIGHTCOMERS! Starring Marlon Brando, the film promises a psychological, sadomasochistic horror/drama about the lives of Bly Manor before the story we know and love. Does it deliver? Listen to find out! . . . .

A new miniseries on adaptations or variations on Henry James' classic novella "The Turn of the Screw" begins with Jack Clayton's 1961 classic THE INNOCENTS!

Continuing our cheat series of 2020 horror films, we delve into newly/finally released THE NEW MUTANTS! We discuss it's ever-changing release date, the controversies surrounding whitewashing, and answer the all important question: is it actually a horror movie????? Listen to find out! (The New Mutants review begins at 16:49, following discussions of: the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman, Scream...

We decided to take a break from the usual "franchise" formula and focus instead on some 2020 horror releases - especially as we've covered so little of this year so far! Up first and it's the 57 minute cyber-natural horror hit HOST (streaming now on Shudder). Listen as we delve into what works, what doesn't and just how effective things can be even in lockdown! . . . . As always, thanks to: Dilani...

Here we are and it's time to conclude our INSIDIOUS run-through with 2018's THE LAST KEY! In the episode we also discuss the recent cast news of the upcoming SCREAM 5 (and how it may or may not relate to Gisela's life growing up in Mexico) plus an insight over a recent argument we got into (off-mic) regarding horror films.  Hope you enjoy! P.s. Yes, we rank the four films from the franchise . . ....

Our INSIDIOUS reviews continue with 2015's prequel "Insidious Chapter 3" and my, oh my do our hosts have a desire to talk about Leigh Whannell's directorial debut! Join us as we discuss: the influences of "Insidious Chapter 3", whether or not James Wan is a better horror director than Leigh Whannell, and if popcorn horror is an acceptable term (or just as ugly as "elevated horror"...ugh)? Enjoy!

More ghosts...a serial killer...time travel? Just when you think you've got a franchise figured out, along comes it's crazy-ass sequel - IT'S INSIDIOUS CHAPTER 2 TIME!!!! Also explored/discussed in this episode: Hannibal (Season 4?), Friday 13th new Box-set, and COVID-19's continuing destruction of cinema with the push back of Halloween Kills & The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. . . . . As al...

It's July 2020 and we move onto a new miniseries of scares & terrors: THE INSIDIOUS MOVIES! Starting with 2010's Insidious, Calum & Gisela run through what works & what doesn't in the movie, how it fits into the career path of the great James Wan, Gisela's family history with astral projection and a small tribute to the iconic Ennio Morricone (RIP).

It's the final Hopkins entry of the series & to close it all off the creators decided to go right back to the start with RED DRAGON. Due to the fact that we covered 99% of this movie in our MANHUNTER episode (it's a remake for those who didn't know), this time we've done a more comparative episode in which we run through just what is done better/worse than the first attempt. And yes...we mention R...

What do you do when your writer, director and one of your two Oscar winning stars refuse to return for a sequel? GO RIGHT AHEAD ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT!  Alas we arrive at Ridley Scott's operatic, blood-fuelled, crazy-as-fuck entry into the HANNIBAL LECTER franchise and join us as we dive deep into the deep issues such as: should Anthony Hopkins have been recast? Is Clarice Starling reduced to nothing...

Arguably the best film we've ever covered on this podcast, this week we take a look at Jonathan Demme's masterpiece THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. With a new Hannibal, new Jack Crawford, new director, new everything...the film became a pop-culture phenomenon AND critical darling, culminating with it taking home "The Big Five" at the 64th Academy Awards (Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Screenplay - a...

Join us as we being a new mini-series and dive into the devilishly delicious world of Hannibal Lecter (or in this case "Lecktor")

FIVE! ZERO! Folks, we hit 50 episodes & we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than rounding out what has been a disastrously disappointing franchise by covering 2006's clueless remake THE OMEN! Listen as we divulge just how much this franchise likes to repackage the same lame scares time after time - and even offer up our own take on where the franchise should go in future. Here's to half...

The Omen franchise rumbles on with less and less fanfare, little-to-no interest from the wider public & depreciating returns in it's ideas or execution. Alas, we come to the fourth entry (the made-for-TV one) and, as always, we talked about it! Listen at your peril!

Well well well, here we are with more deep dive discussions into the diabolical world of Damian Thorn & the Omen...it's OMEN III BABY!!! Dutifully, our deliberations on the movie occasionally detour into other dreaded world including: 1) Death (FINAL DESTINATION) 2) Dinosaurs (JURASSIC PARK/WORLD) 3) Disease (IT FOLLOWS) 4) Deranged/Disturbed/Demented (AMERICAN PSYCHO) Enjoy! 

It's late, but it's here - our latest dive into THE OMEN franchise with 1978's DAMIEN: OMEN II. Listen as the Scaretroducing due discuss the merit's of this sequel, as well as the cultural impact the franchise has had on the world (particularly naming kids Damien). We apologise for the delay, but regret nothing! Listen at your peril! Also - a massive thank you to the Contra Zoom podcast (twitter:...

In our 2nd (and final) episode covering GLASGOW FILM FESTIVAL we take a look at two feature-length directional debuts with interesting results!

In our latest episode, we cover the bizarre & bonkers 3rd entry to the [REC] franchise - what works about it, what doesn't, and why it might be so different from the previous two installments! Sadly, some audio issues meant that a large portion of the podcast had to be cut out of the middle - hopefully you can bypass this and enjoy the discussion/review that we managed to salvage! Time Stamps...
