The Cinebytes

Nis...nis tutarim everybody, it's time to party down with the Deadites! For this week's episode, we decided to kick it old school again with one of the most beloved cult classic films of all time...Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1981)! Do you have a love of card games, "Friendsgiving" dinners, road trips to remote cabins, and/or dismembering your loved ones to save yourself an...

Who's ready for a good ol' fashioned Alabama Ass-Kickin'?? The Firefly Family is back as we cover the second installment in Rob Zombie's "Hellbilly"trilogy, The Devil's Rejects (2005), featuring your favorites (and ours), Baby, Otis, and good ol' Captain Spaulding! Could things GET more messed up than House of 1,000 Corpses? OF COURSE! There's always ro...

Rise and shine, campers! Grab your sleeping bags and your ponchos, because it's about to get bloody... With summer in full swing, we thought what better movie to cover than one that kicked off a franchise that's literally synonymous with the season...Friday the 13th (1980)! Just close your eyes and imagine...crickets chirping across a still, dark lake...the crackling sounds of a campfire...

Welcome to Santa Cru-uh, Carla! The Mur-uh, vamp-uh...comic and VHS tape capital of the world! Definitely no murder or vampires here, just forget I said that... We're keeping those summer vibes going this week with Joel Schumacher's fresh, sexy vampire romp from 1987, The Lost Boys! Do you like dogs, boardwalks and prank-playing grandpas? How about motorcycles, garlic and a little train...

Greetings from Halsingland! Are you ready for the festivities to begin?? Now that the weather has FINALLY turned and the sun is back, we decided to sit down to talk about Ari Aster's second feature film, MIDSOMMAR (2019), and it sure is a beautiful movie! So brightly lit, so warm, so refreshing. So many pretty colors like the flowers in Dani's May Queen gown, the yellow of the sacred tem...

Hey kids, who's ready for a pool party??? We've got Freddy manning the grill this week as we dig into part 2 of the Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise! Deemed one of the "gayest films ever" (rude), we think for as much hate as this movie gets, it's STILL near the top end of installments in this series, with great body horror, hilarious moments (intentional or otherwise), an...

Well, hey there, gorgeous! We sure do love a movie with substance here at The Cinebytes, don't you? Get ready to get gross (physically and emotionally) in this VERY feminist-minded film from a couple years ago that people are still talking about today - The Substance (2024)! We had both seen this previously, and we STILL weren't prepared to dive into all this movie has to offer. Emotiona...

You guessed it folks, we sat down to talk about the legendary George A. Romero&apo...

Well, kiss me Blarney stones, it looks like it's that time of the year again! The chill is starting to leave the air, replaced with the sounds of a lilting pan flute, and what's this...a space marine is giving wein birth to a full-grown gold goblin. How magical, indeed. We really must apologize in advance for the shit show you're about to experience, as we inexplicably chose part FO...

"Are you watching?..." We hope you did, because if you didn't, you missed out on a HELL of a good time! We sat down this week to talk about Zach Cregger's sophomer effort, WEAPONS (2025), and it did NOT disappoint. Who would you suspect if an entire flock of children from one town went missing at once...but...separately? How much vodka would you need to cope with the whole town...

Hello, Sid-nebytes! What's YOUR favorite Scary Movie? With Scream 7 just around the corner, we HAD to revisit this CLASSIC franchise.

Happy Holidays, everyone! LET THE PUNISHMENT BEGIN! What happens when Grandpa convinces you that Santa is evil...and then you IMMEDIATELY see "Santa" do some evil crap that very night?? Well, naturally you sit in an orphanage and let that marinate for a decade or so, until YOU'RE put into the big red suit to see how YOU hold up. There's NO WAY this could end badly! We sat down...

COME AND GET IT! Dinner is served for The Cinebytes Thanksgiving week episode on The Menu (2022)!  We had a great time sitting down at the dinner table to chat about this STELLAR horror comedy that came out of NOWHERE late in 2022! Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult delight in a surprisingly peppy and upbeat culinary adventure, where the guests are completely immersed in the experie...

Brace yourselves, folks...this might be a rough one...but, as always, we'll try to make it as fun as possible anyway! We sat down to talk about the VERY heavy, VERY gross follow up to Danny and Michael Philippou's VERY heavy and VERY gross "Talk to Me"...BRING HER BACK (2025)! Looks like the RackaRacka squad is back up to their old tricks (along with some new ones) with an EXCE...

Happy Halloween, Cine-biters! As mentioned on the previous release...we have a tradition 'round these here parts. On Halloween...we talk Hellraiser! Today marks the beginning of season 3, so naturally we're onto the third installment of this wild ride of a franchise! And this one brought along all manner of new hurdles to clear... Besides Pinhead, our entire crew of Cenobites is replaced...

Hey guys! We're keeping The Cinebytes tradition alive this week by dropping our next installment of Hellraiser (Part III: Hell on Earth) ON Halloween...which of course left our regular Tuesday release slot open! What better way to celebrate the genre as well as the season than by filling that slot with some of our fondest memories of horror cinema?? Oh, all the warm and fuzzy feelings we get....

What could be more Sinister than Ethan Hawke and James Ransone teaming up for another epic horror film with Scott Derrickson at the helm? Possibly its second installment, releasing October 17th, but we'll find out in a few days! TODAY, we're covering The Black Phone (2021) to keep that hype train rollin' for part 2 coming out this Friday! We had a blast diving into this beautiful ni...

Can you believe there are people in the world who DON'T believe in vampires?? If they're all as cool as Chris Sarandon, why would you want to live in a world without them??? Join us this week as we sink our teeth into one of our childhood favorites - FRIGHT NIGHT (1985)! Lots of industrial 80's synth, sexy seduction scenes that really ride the line between getting you all hot and bo...
