A few months back we had a chance to see Clown in a Cornfield. On last week’s show we reminded everyone that it was coming to theaters. Its box office performance was still surprising to us. We also talk about how well the new Final Destination movie will probably do- even though it probably shouldn’t.

We have had a great time with the last two releases from Osgood Perkins. His next film looks like it is going to be awesome. Just check out the hour long promo that was recently revealed. Something frightening is definitely going on there. Plus, what is happening to all the live service horror games?

Haunted house stories have long been a part of horror. One of the most popular takes on the sub-genre is whether the haunting is real or a trick. It is probably most well known from Scooby-Doo, but it goes back much further. The Ruse may be a little too on the nose with its title, but it does do some things right.

The problem is, with this type of story, you pretty much have to do everything right. Even the smallest mistake can be immersion breaking and ruin the whole thing. And there is a lot of that here. Some of it is so bad it actually becomes funny. Unfortunately, most of it is just plain bad.

A Breed Apart is a weird movie. The premise is cut and dry. A group of influencers go to a private island and end up in a battle for survival against a pack of wild dogs. But everything around it is just odd. It is not the fact that the movie never explains exactly what is going on. And it is not because it does not truly find itself until the final ten minutes. It is not even because of the really strange dialogue.

What makes it so interesting is the fact that the majority of it may have been done through AI. How can you tell the difference between CGI and AI? How did it impact A Breed Apart? Was the script done with AI? We try to answer these questions and more in our latest show.

There has been a lot of talk around Sinners. Good, bad, or ugly, everyone seems to have an opinion about it. Is it really the best movie of the young year? Is it grossly overrated? Something else entirely? Whatever the case, audiences are going out to see it in drovers. What is being overlooked by many is the biggest irony surrounding it.

We spend a lot of time talking lovingly of the theater experience. It was a big part of growing up and still remains fun even as adults. So it sucks to hear when the CEO of Netflix says theaters are outdated. It is not so much his opinion that matters, but the fact that he actually has the power to make movie theaters obsolete.

Which makes it all the better when someone like Rian Johnson talks about how he wants Knives Out 3 in as many movie theaters as possible for as long as it can. Since he has a deal with Netflix, we all know where the movie will eventually end up. The fact that he wants a run that is longer than a week or two is nice to hear.

The detective noir is a genre that does not get the love it used to. A part of this may be due to burnout. The 1930s - 1950s saw a huge number of them released. Many of them are considered classics. There has not been a good one in quite a while so when one bills itself as a triumphant return, we were all in.

Exaggeration is a part of marketing. We get that. But Dark My Light has no film noir elements, at all. There are exactly zero moments. Instead, it is a science fiction movie that wants to be about a character. The question is not why did they market as something it is not. It is not even whether what they ended up doing worked. The real question is did this movie even have a script?

Karate tournament movies were all the rage back in the day. Jean-Claude Van Damme was able to build a career off of them while the legacy of The Karate Kid still lives on. We could not wait to see Absolute Dominion. Sure, the idea may be the flimsiest excuse ever to have a globe spanning battle for supremacy, but nostalgia is a powerful draw.

Regrettably, Absolute Dominion lacks any of the charm of the movies from our childhood. It is way more confusing than it has to be, ignores its most interesting subplot, and lacks any of the tension these types of films need. We also try to figure out who Alex Winter owes money to.

There are not many weeks that go by that we end up discussing news of a horror reboot. This show we talk about the Urban Legends reboot. There is not much news as of yet, but it is definitely coming. We talk about our memories of the movie, why it tends to be overlooked, and whether we are looking forward to it.

During our last show, we talked about the awesome marketing behind Weapons. The advertising blitz for the film continues. This week a two hour YouTube video was released of security camera footage. There was also a bonkers trailer. The question becomes, when can you have too much of a good thing?

Horror movies tend to be based around folklore. So it is not that surprising that there are not that many vampire films from Asia. Daydreamers is one of the first vampire movies to come out of Vietnam. Understandably, the story is a predictable one about a group of bloodsuckers who are fighting the urge to kill humans.

There is no doubting how stylish Daydreamers is. And since there are so few vampire stories from that part of the world, it is easy to forgive many of the missteps. However, there is only so much you can overlook. Poor writing and pacing ruing what would be a flawed, but passable watch.

Taking popular children’s stories and putting a horror spin on them is nothing new. We talk about the recent glut of these types of movies and why people do not really care about them anymore. This leads to our feature presentation, the body horror retelling of Cinderella, The Ugly Stepsister.

The plot is basically the same story everyone knows, but told from the point of view of one of the cruel stepsisters. Still, The Ugly Stepsister is its own tale. Though it covers many of the themes of the source material, the fact that it is told from a different perspective gives everything a different meaning. It is filled with surprises and is disgusting in all the best ways.
