Episode 73 – Peninsula



With his latest film, Yeon Sang-ho has achieved a zombie hat trick, even by Matt’s stringent standards for the subgenre.

Episode 72 – Freaky



Christopher Landon’s “Freaky Friday the 13th” genre riff is not nearly as clever as he thinks it is.

Episode 71 – Synchronic



Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead’s latest may not have been the true-blue horror film we anticipated, but it’s still a stylish good time with two charismatic lead performances from Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan.

Episode 70 – Come Play



In spite of one particularly striking spooky image and a mercifully grounded portrayal of autism, Come Play is an uneasy amalgam of too many incompatible genre tropes.

Episode 69 – The Empty Man



Despite its narrative incoherence and bladder-busting length (by horror standards), The Empty Man is a surprisingly entertaining and engaging film.

Episode 68 – The Craft: Legacy



While the film’s message of (trans-inclusive) female empowerment is certainly more enlightened than the “women can’t handle ultimate power” implications of the 1996 original, The Craft: Legacy also loses much of its predecessor’s trashy fun, and doesn’t replace it with much else.

Episode 67 – Possessor



Brandon Cronenberg’s sophomore feature is a mind-bending melange of body horror paranoia, buoyed by stellar turns from Andrea Riseborough, Christopher Abbott, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. And it even has Sean Bean!

Episode 66 – Nocturne



One of the four initial entries in the “Welcome to the Blumhouse” film series, Nocturne doesn’t quite measure up to other tales of artistic obsession.

Episode 64 – The Dark and the Wicked



Bryan Bertino’s latest film is strong on atmosphere and boasts some genuine scares, but sometimes gets bogged down in a miasma of indiscriminate misery.
