Episode 82 – Willy’s Wonderland



Those hoping for dose of vintage Cage Rage from this Five Nights at Freddy’s knockoff will be sorely disappointed. In Matt’s words, “Cage spent too much of the movie faffing about, or should I say, FNAFing about.”

Episode 77 – The Vigil



The Vigil adds a relatively strong and low-key entry to the decidedly mixed bag of the Jewish demon horror subgenre.

Episode 75 – Saint Maud



In Matt’s words, “Praise be, praise be.” Saint Maud has finally arrived, and it does not disappoint.

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.
