The Blind Rage podcast: Horror Movie Commentaries

What’s for dinner? If you’re a kid in 1950s suburbia , you'd better not ask too many questions. In PARENTS (1989), young Michael begins to suspect that Mom and Dad (played by Mary Beth Hurt and a terrifyingly chipper Randy Quaid) might have a taste for something…unconventional. Is it just his overactive imagination, or is the “leftover meat” in the fridge a little too fresh? Prepare for a nightmar...

Before SLITHER slimed its way onto screens and THE FACULTY made you question your high school staff, there was NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, a glorious midnight movie that dares to ask, “What if alien brain slugs turned frat bros into the undead?” Spoiler alert: it’s as amazing as it sounds. When a frozen corpse from 1959 thaws out in the ‘80s, it unleashes a parasitic plague of space slugs that turn peopl...

🔥 300 EPISODES OF THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST! 🔥 Hold onto your entrails, horror hounds, because The Blind Rage Podcast has just notched its 300th episode since clawing its way into existence in 2020! We’ve delved into the macabre madness of RE-ANIMATOR, survived the cursed production of CUT, and braved the demonic festivities of KILLER PARTY. If it’s twisted, terrifying, or just plain bizarre, we’ve...

Some podcasts talk about love. Some talk about horror. THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST talks about both. This week, we take a look at LOVE AND HUMAN REMAINS (1993), a darkly introspective film that explores sex, loneliness, and the search for meaning in an increasingly disconnected world. Thomas Gibson leads the cast as David, a former TV actor turned waiter, navigating life alongside his best friend Candy...

The Blind Rage Podcast is back, and this week, we’re tapping into the eerie world of LISTEN (1996)—a thriller where curiosity might just be fatal. Sarah Ross (Brooke Langton) is starting fresh in San Francisco, moving into the same apartment building as her boyfriend Jake (Gordon Currie). While Jake struggles with writer’s block, Sarah develops a bad habit—she likes to listen in on other people’s...

Linda Rodgers has been through hell. After a brutal assault, she’s left struggling to recover, but the trauma won’t let go. When her neglectful husband (Harry Reems—yes, *that* Harry Reems) leaves her alone, paranoia sets in. She’s convinced masked intruders are stalking her… and when they finally appear, she’s ready to fight back. But is Linda truly in danger, or is something far more unhinged ha...

Before smartphones and social media, all you needed was a roaring fire, a few friends, and some blood-curdling urban legends to keep you up at night. This horror anthology follows a group of stranded teens as they swap terrifying tales—each one more twisted than the last. But as the night unfolds, they realize some stories hit a little too close to home… Join us as we revisit this '90s horror gem...

MIRAGE (1990)– Where the road ends, the terror begins! Sun, sand, and senseless slaughter! A group of friends head into the desert for a carefree getaway, but their fun is short-lived when an ominous black truck starts tailing them. One by one, they’re picked off by an unseen maniac with a vendetta—and an impressive ability to navigate the dunes with murderous precision. Jennifer McAllister leads...

The Blind Rage Podcast is making a splash with THE POOL a.k.a. SWIMMING POOL (2001), the rarely-seen slasher that dared to ask, “What if we trapped a bunch of rich, horny European teens in an Olympic-sized swimming pool and let a masked psycho go to town?” Oh, and did we mention a baby-faced James McAvoy is here to steal scenes (and maybe your heart)? Graduation should be a time for celebration, b...

Sharpen your puzzle skills and grab your art supplies, because this week on THE BLIND RAGE PODCAST, we’re tackling JIGSAW (2002)—no, not that one. This isn’t some sadistic game of survival with creepy dolls on tricycles. This is an ultra-low-budget slasher about an art class that bites off way more than it can chew when they’re tasked with assembling a “jigsaw man” for their final project. Bad ide...

This week, we’re taking aim at SERIAL SLAYER (a.k.a. CLAUSTROPHOBIA, 2003), a tense little thriller that proves broad daylight won’t save you when there’s a crossbow-wielding psycho perched on the roof. Three coworkers—Melanie Lynskey (before she was cool on YELLOWJACKETS), Sheeri Rappaport (CSI), and Mary Lynn Rajskub (24)—find themselves trapped in a house while a silent, unseen killer picks the...

Some coroners determine cause of death. This one just causes it. Ever wondered what happens when your friendly neighborhood coroner decides to moonlight as a serial killer? Well, wonder no more! THE CORONER (1999) follows defense attorney Emma (Jane Longenecker), who wakes up strapped to a table in the basement of the world’s creepiest medical examiner (Dean St. Louis). Instead of filing paperwork...

Who’s ready to rock…and die? This week on The Blind Rage Podcast, we’re cranking up the volume and the body count with SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE II, the 1987 fever dream that asks, What if Freddy Krueger fronted a rockabilly band…and had a drill guitar? Courtney (Crystal Bernard) just wants a fun weekend with the girls, but her nightmares about a leather-clad psycho with an axe to grind (and a drill...

It’s Tony’s birthday and we’re celebrating with THE RIPPER, a movie Tom Savini would give just about anything to forget. What does Jack the Ripper have to do with birthdays? Well, nothing. Seems like there are so few horror movies focused on celebrating one’s special day and we were sure as hell not taking the endurance test that is getting through all 110 minutes of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. Instead,...

“Wait a minute… Who am I here?” THE STEPFATHER tells the story of a madman in search of the perfect all-American family. When they disappoint him, he brutally murders them and moves on to the next. Terry O’Quinn gives a fantastic performance in the titular role and, as always, it’s a pleasure to see Jill Schoelen, this time playing the role of a troubled teenager, who suspects something simply isn...

Last week was an in-your-face rip-off of CARRIE. This week, it’s an in-your-face rip-off of ROSEMARY’S BABY. WITCHCRAFT, the 1988 quickie that spawned a whopping 15 sequels (!), tells the story of a new mother, who moves into a creepy old estate owned by her husband’s family. Soon after settling in with their newborn son, our heroin begins to notice something doesn’t seem right—not with her in-law...

JENNIFER is not only one of the first CARRIE rip-offs, but it’s one of the most obvious. The story follows a high school outcast, who is bullied mercilessly by the popular crowd. When Jennifer is pushed too far, she unleashes her supernatural powers to exact vengeance. Unlike Stephen King’s Carrie, Jennifer possesses the power to control snakes, which she uses to slither after those who’ve wronged...

“EAT A BOWL OF FUCK!” It’s NIGHT OF THE DEMONS on this week’s episode of The Blind Rage Podcast! This movie has always been very educational for me. It taught me what can happen when you decide to throw a Halloween party at a funeral home, which was once the scene of a pretty horrific mass murder; why you shouldn’t hold seances on cursed property; and, last and most importantly, that you can hide...

“You will NEVER receive credit for my discovery. Who’s gonna believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow.” We’re elated to finally feature Stuart Gordon’s RE-ANIMATOR on The Blind Rage Podcast! This cult classic tells the story of Herbert West (Jeffrey Combs), a medical student who has developed a serum that re-animates corpses. But, as we all know, no one is ever the same once they’re brought...

Murphy’s Law hit hard on The Blind Rage Podcast because, yes, everything that could’ve gone wrong pretty much did. First and foremost, the subject of the episode, Matthew Bright’s FREEWAY II: CONFESSIONS OF A TRICKBABY, is not only an incredibly inferior follow-up to his 1996 cult classic, it’s a hell of a lot worse than I remember it being. In addition, technical difficulties prevented the record...

“I’m pissed off and the whole world owes me.” We’re taking a look at one of the all-time best cult classics on this week’s episode of The Blind Rage Podcast! In FREEWAY, Matthew Bright’s delightfully twisted reinterpretation of “Little Red Riding Hood,” we’re introduced to Vanessa Lutz (Reese Witherspoon in one of her best roles), a teenage felon from the wrong side of the tracks. After her mother...

The Blind Rage Podcast is once again returning to the land down under for the 2000 slasher CUT, starring ‘80s teen icon Molly Ringwald and pop royalty Kylie Minogue. It’s 1988 and during the making of a Z-grade horror movie, the actor playing the killer slaughters the director after being fired for his sheer ineptitude. He then sets his sights on the final girl, but she’s able to escape. Twelve ye...

The Blind Rage Podcast once again returns to the world of university elite with the 1986 cult classic KILLER PARTY! Phoebe, Jennifer, and Vivia are best friends and sorority pledges willing to do anything to join Sigma Alpha Pi, one of the most popular houses on campus. They endure paddlings, public humiliation, and endless pranks, though nothing prepares them for the horrors of an April Fool’s Da...

I don’t think The Blind Rage Podcast has seen such blood and guts since Herschell Gordon Lewis month… This week, we’re taking a look at James Riffel’s THE HOUSE ON TOMBSTONE HILL, a hidden gem about a group of five twentysomethings who arrive at a massive estate in the middle of nowhere intending to fix it up. The moment they pass the threshold, they discover they’ve got their work cut out for the...

If ever there was a poster child for vasectomies, it’s Mikey. This week, The Blind Rage Podcast takes a look at one of the more notorious offerings in horror’s killer kid subgenre. MIKEY stars Brian Bonsall (“Family Ties”) as a child abused by his birth parents. Now, he’s desperate to find the perfect maternal and paternal figures. When his adoptive family disappoints him. Mikey is left with no ch...
