Episode 48 – Relic



Emily Mortimer and Bella Heathcote grapple with a senile relative and a house quite literally haunted by dementia. It’s a treat.

Episode 46 – The Hunt



Matt and Jim are thrilled to be back at it, but starting with The Hunt after a four-month layoff turns out to be pretty anti-climactic. And why was Trump pissed about this movie, exactly?

Episode 45 – Brahms: The Boy II



Another suspense-less entry in this misbegotten franchise is further undermined by a baffling decision to retcon away the only vaguely interesting thing the first film had going for it.

Episode 44 – The Invisible Man



Leigh Whannell continues a successful post-James Wan career with a nervy thriller that reminds us – the terror of the unseen is the most unsettling of all.

Episode 43 – The Lodge



Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s follow-up to Goodnight, Mommy is as bone-chilling as the frozen landscape that it inhabits.

Episode 42 – Fantasy Island



Matt and Jim may have disagreed about The Turning, but they’re on the same page about this woefully misbegotten adaptation of the 70s TV show – Fantasy Island is a trainwreck in all but the most literal sense.

Episode 41 – Gretel & Hansel



Oz Perkins takes a quantum leap forward with a gorgeously lensed and delightfully atmospheric adaptation of perhaps the most well-known of Grimms’ Fairy Tales.

Episode 40 – The Turning



If you’ve been waiting for Matt and Jim to have their Siskel and Ebert moment, this is it. The Turning is… divisive, to say the least.

Episode 39 – Color Out of Space



The first really good horror movie of the year features the return of a Nicolas Cage voice we thought had been lost to the sands of time.

Episode 38 – Underwater



While it borrows a lot from a lot of different places, Underwater clips along so fast, you hardly have time to think about it. The end result is a good time at the movies – particularly for January.
