Episode 161 – Five Nights at Freddy’s

Haunted House, New Release, Period Piece, Slasher, Theatrical Release, Video Game Adaptation, , , , , ,

The video game series doesn’t hold a special place in either of our hearts, but the film adaptation is not the wholesale disaster social media makes it out to be.

Episode 160 – The Exorcist: Believer

Exorcism, New Release, Possession, Sequel, Theatrical Release, , , , , , , ,

David Gordon Green’s latest attempt at a legacy sequel to a landmark horror film has more in common with The Exorcist’s legion of shoddy imitators than it does with the source material itself.

Episode 159 – Saw X

Body Horror, New Release, Prequel, Sequel, Theatrical Release, , , , , ,

Matt and Jim take this opportunity to do a full retrospective on the Saw franchise, and while it’s got a handful of high points, it’s mostly schlock. This entry is better than most.

Episode 158 – The Nun II

Exorcism, New Release, Period Piece, Possession, Sequel, The Conjuring Universe, Theatrical Release, , , , ,

Apologies for the unannounced hiatus, but we’re back with a throwback to our second episode all-time. The Nun may not have been good, but this sequel is just… boring. It doesn’t help that it’s drowning in disposable tertiary antagonists, either.

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.

Despite being well-made and periodically effective, Danny and Michael Philippou’s film left us cold. We wouldn’t mind seeing the hand come back, though.

Samuel Bodin’s dramatically under-promoted film features a few good scares and some deft camerawork, but the parents were written without depth and the film is sometimes paced too much like a trailer.

James Wan’s second franchise ends with a whimper. It’s not a trainwreck, but it’s also just not that good.

Episode 152 – The Boogeyman (2023)

Creature Feature, New Release, Theatrical Release, , , , , , , ,

A fairly run-of-the-mill adaptation of a minor Stephen King work, this film is not without craft, particularly in its careful control of just how much of the Boogeyman you see.
