Episode 233 – The Devil’s Mouth

Jeff Wadlow has officially become Public Enemy Number One, the last man standing of our Three Horsemen of Shitty Horror, with this turgid shark flick. The characters are infuriating, the CGI is lousy, and it all takes forever to get where it’s going.

Episode 232 – Insidious: Out of the Further

The sixth entry in the franchise begins promisingly enough, but quickly devolves into the same porridge that all the Insidious sequels do. The Further remains lame as hell.

Episode 231.5 – Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

Jane Schoenbrun’s latest, while enjoyable and fronted by two excellent performances, is nonetheless something of an unfocused trifle, and easily the weakest of their three features. A more rigorous modulation of the candy-floss aesthetic would not have gone amiss.

Episode 231 – Evil Dead Burn

There’s no mischief in these Deadites. It’s just a turgid episode of Monday Night Raw seasoned with underdeveloped domestic abuse tropes. What a bummer.

Episode 230 – Psycho Killer (2026)

Just because this film was penned by Se7en’s Andrew Kevin Walker doesn’t mean you should be expecting another classic serial killer flick. It’s somehow both deliriously stupid and mind-numbingly dull, and it even chickens out on its one good idea. Worst movie of the year material.

Episode 229 – Backrooms

Definitely the more impressive of the horror wunderkinds we’ve seen in the last two months, Kane Parsons, with the aid of his highly talented cast, has crafted an eerie warning about the dangers of nostalgia.

Episode 228 – Obsession (2026)

Curry Barker definitely has an eye and a feel for scares, but Nikki’s characterization is all over the place, even though Inde Navarrette is giving it her all. And it wouldn’t hurt if the movie wasn’t 68% screams by volume.

Episode 227 – Hokum

While not his scariest outing, Hokum is probably Damian McCarthy’s most thoroughly enjoyable film, with whodunit, witchcraft, and puzzle-solving elements all hanging together in a most satisfying fashion.

Episode 226 – Lee Cronin’s The Mummy

Almost nothing about this film works, and certainly not any of the scares. Visually irritating, with obnoxious Foley work, it also tries to turn a Mummy movie into an Evil Dead movie – except it doesn’t even get that right!

Episode 225 – Undertone

Despite a few half-baked ideas, and stretches of this audio-driven film feeling like they’d be better as a podcast, the end result is still pretty strong. Jim, in particular, found that the last 15 minutes really jangled his nerves.
