Super Horror Bros

Taking a small detour away from horror this week to chat about the latest from one of the best directors in the world today. Guillermo Del Toro is of course no stranger to the horror crowd and his latest, Nightmare Alley, sees a noir style thriller that actually tackles some very dark themes with some brutal violence which is more than many horror films we cover actually do. We give our verdict on...

We’ve already done 4 podcasts chatting about all the previous Scream films so it felt rude not to do this one. Of course we are here to chat about the biggest horror release of 2022 so far and the return of one of our all time favourite franchises in all of film. Scream (the fifth) looks to jel legacy with a new class and serve a mix of old and new while of course being as self referential as ever...

Before one of the biggest releases of the year next week we are back to discuss another foreign language film that certainly has one of the more unique premises we’ve seen. The Advent Calendar gives us a Jumanji style horror with plenty of scares and an interesting story. Will this be on our holiday watch list later this year? Let’s find out. Also this week; the A Quiet Place spin off gets a new d...

We’re back! After taking a much needed break for the holidays we kick off 2022 with an absolute banger. Titane has been making waves everywhere since it’s debut at Cannes and has finally made it’s way over to the UK. Julia Ducournau’s follow up to Raw looks to be just as unsettling and visceral as it’s predecessor and we can’t wait to talk all about it. After that we then preview all the horror fi...

This is it. Our annual year ender has arrived to celebrate the very best the horror genre had to offer us in 2021. After a fairly unassuming 2020 we certainly got plenty of heavy hitters delivering us some incredible films this year. We go over our top 10 horror films of the year and why these films mean so much to us. Next up; we give out our special awards highlighting other areas of horror this...

With our biggest show of the year just one week away we wanted to take a break from the madness of 2021 and go back to a simpler time. A time when Wes Craven made his first ever sequel and went back to his roots after creating a horror icon. We discuss why this sequel has such a special place in our hearts and why this very podcast might not exist without this film. We don’t say that every week. A...

For our last cinema release of the year we have a pretty big one to discuss. Resident Evil is one of our favourite things across all media but sadly we’ve never had a film that remotely compares to the great heights of the many games over the years. However, with a director who clearly knows the source material and a pretty fun trailer; we really hoped we’d see Resident Evil done right on the big...

With the end of the year in sight we are back with one of the last new horror films we’re covering this year and one that we’ve been wanting to see since it’s announcement last year. A comedy horror centred around the hell that is Black Friday is a perfect premise and with some added Bruce Campbell for good measure surely you can’t mess this up? Check out our verdict now on whether this film can j...

With just one big cinema horror release left for the year and a few weeks to fill before then; we go back to a film that has been on our backlog for many months. Demonic sees the return of Neil Blomkamp in a much smaller project than we’re used to with this director with a concept that blends sci-fi and horror in a very Black Mirror-esque way. We give our verdict on one of the last films before we...

Whilst we’re not ready to fully move on from Last Night in Soho mentally just yet we must as the train keeps rolling on with yet another cinema horror release that actually came out the same day. Antlers has been one of the most heavily delayed genre releases of recent years and has finally hit the big screen and promises some original horror in the form of an emotionally driven creature feature....

Moments like these don’t come long often so it’s time to savour it. One of our favourite directors is making a horror film. That was all we needed to know. And now, after all these years, we’ve seen it and get to talk all about it. We really hope you enjoy this film discussion on a truly unique film. Elsewhere this week; The Northman gets a small delay but is still coming early next year. Chucky c...

Sandwiched in between big cinema horror releases is another slasher courtesy of Netflix that very much piqued our interest with a great trailer portraying a killer who wears a mask of the face of their victims. There has truly been a resurgence within the slasher sub genre recently and with Scream returning very soon, let’s see how this one can fare within the crowd. Elsewhere this week; Black Fri...

The Shape is back. After many delays one of the most iconic horror villains is back and ready to cause a bloody mess at the box office. Following on from 2018’s aptly named Halloween; this follow up apparently has lots of kills before it inevitably ends next year. We give our verdict on possibly the biggest horror release of 2021. Elsewhere this week; Mike Flanagan continues to be the busiest man...

Boy do we have a lot to discuss this week. Of course our main course is the return of one of our favourite franchises that got us back into horror prior to starting this podcast. The return of V/H/S is long overdue and we go over whether this injects new life into the series or is another miss like Viral was. Elsewhere this week; we have two of the biggest trailers of the year to discuss as two of...

The biggest horror TV release of the year is here. Mike Flanagan is back and after already featuring on 3 of our year end top 10 lists already and giving us one of the best TV shows of all time in The Haunting of Hill House we couldn’t be anymore excited for his latest venture in the TV space. Midnight Mass is his dream project and after over 10 years of trying to get it made it’s finally here. Le...

We’d been saving this one for a while but it’s finally time to discuss what is undoubtedly a horror classic. Our Ranking Wes Craven series is about to go up a level as we discuss what still makes A Nightmare on Elm Street one of the most perfect horror films ever made. We also have to place it on our ranking so far and with Scream currently on the top spot this is definitely a case where we have t...

A slight change of pace this week as the cinema isn’t offering us any new horror delights for a few weeks so we are tackling our backlog of films on digital services starting with a film that had a super interesting premise and trailer from earlier this year. Profile is the latest ‘screenlife’ film to arrive and after loving other recent films within this subgenre such as Host and Spree we were ho...

The last big horror film before Halloween season is upon us and it is the return of one of the best horror directors of the 21st century. James Wan is back and in between making some fishy films he is giving back to the horror community this original concept after already giving us such gifts as Saw and The Conjuring. There is a lot to go over here and we avoid spoilers for as long as possible but...

A slow week away from the cinema sees us discuss a British horror film about a topic that we feel very strongly about; censorship. Set during the Video Nasty craze in the UK, this film sparks the fire to ignite an entire conversation surrounding censorship in today’s world and whether there’s even a place for it anymore. We do also talk about the film at some point. Ending the show; Matt rewatched...

We’ve waited patiently for this one. Candyman has been one of our most anticipated films since it’s announcement and it’s been a long road to get here but we’ve finally seen it. Let’s unpack everything from this sequel from Candyman mythology to modernising a horror classic. This year really has picked up massively in the last few weeks so here’s hoping this is another film we’ll be talking about...

Continuing the summer of cinema horror is the return of David Bruckner who has featured quite a bit on this show already through his work on Creepshow, Southbound and The Ritual. The Night House looks to scare the pants off us whilst also portraying an interesting story with some genuine emotion sprinkled in there for good measure. Elsewhere this week; a new docuseries is coming to Shudder that fo...

Back in the cinema where we belong for the follow up to our number one film of 2016; Don’t Breathe 2. We’ve been pretty nervous about this one since it’s initial announcement as the original is a perfect film that didn’t need a sequel but we also felt the same way about A Quiet Place and we all know how that turned out. Can this sequel surprise us after a not so great trailer just like Old did? Le...

It’s time to end this. All trilogies must inevitably end with a part three that hopefully serves as both a satisfying conclusion to the overall story as well as being a good standalone entry in it’s own right. Fear Street’s final part takes us all the way back to 1666 with the true origin of Sarah Fier as well as finally tie up the story we are still waiting to see conclude in 1994. We give our ve...

Completing this recent trifecta of cinema horror films is a sequel to 2019’s Escape Room that  was pretty forgettable to say the least. Can this second entry better the first and leave the franchise with some level of excitement or go out with a whimper? We give our verdict and discuss why Escape Rooms are so damn fun. Elsewhere this week; Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series gets a release date and...

For our summer vacation we are taking a trip to the beach with the latest adventure from M. Night Shyamalan after his massive return to form over recent years. But after a fairly uninspiring trailer; here’s hoping the film over-delivers on it’s simple premise and gives us another great sci-fi horror film to sink our teeth into. Elsewhere this week; on perhaps our longest news section ever, we have...
