Episode 171 – Abigail



A step down from Ready or Not – mostly because it recycles many of the same beats less effectively – Abigail nonetheless features a fun cast and a few neat tricks. We just wish it maintained its momentum following a strong opening.

Episode 157 – The Last Voyage of the Demeter



Even with its slam-dunk premise, we didn’t love “Dracula on a Boat.” However, it gets points for hearkening back to 90s and early 2000s Universal monster flicks.

Episode 148 – Renfield



A few nice early touches and Nicolas Cage’s committed performance are undone by Renfield‘s being half a cop movie – and not a particularly good one, at that.

Episode 136 – Bones and All



While not quite up to the standards of his prior work, Luca Guadagnino’s cannibal romance road movie is moody, occasionally arresting, and driven by good performances all around.

Episode 127 – The Invitation (2022)



The Invitation features the sexiest vampires this side of Twilight, and in spite of some satisfyingly old-fashioned gothic horror touches, has about as much dramatic heft – or as many scares.
