shudder

We may give our opinions on a few movies each week, but it is rare that we go back and remind the audience that they have to go out and watch something. Lovely, Dark, and Deep is the rare exception. We have absolutely gushed about it since we first saw it last year and are glad to see it has finally been released in theaters. There are a lot of options on what to spend your theater bucks on, but this is an absolute must-see.

True Detective: Night Country was over before it began and we have a lot to talk about. We also discuss just how close the world came to getting a Truth or Dare 2 (not the Madonna version). But the strangest news of the week just may have been who has been attached the the Bee Gees biopic.

Night of the Cobra Woman is a strange movie. The story of a woman who is bit by a cobra who apparently has to sleep with men to remain young never really materializes. A person's first appearance sees assault then kill a woman while his last scene is him saving the day. People realize their significant others are in danger and just leave. Nothing makes sense and it looks like everyone involved had no idea what they were doing. At least the make up effects were good.

Stopmotion is the exact opposite. The story of a talented artist who becomes obsessed with their work is not new to horror. But the performances, effects, and storytelling in the film are fantastic. Though this is live action, it also includes some great animated moments. The horror is expertly done and there is something for all genre fans to enjoy.

There are not enough haunted attractions. There are haunts set up all over the country during October. And most cities have some type of ghost tour, but there are very few year round places that are devoted to horror. Blumhouse is doing something to fill that void. But can the studio responsible for The Exorcist: Believer and Truth or Dare really give horror audiences what they want?

There are so many zombie movies to choose from that even the good ones tend to be forgotten. 28 Days Later is one of the strongest entries in the genre and its sequel is not too bad. For years there has been talk of a third entry. We talk about the latest news concerning the movie and whether we want to see it.

There have been occasional resurgences, but teen slashers saw their greatest output during the 80s. The genre became so popular that it was even able to break into the mainstream. The decade also saw a number of knock offs that ended up becoming cult classics and fan favorites.

Maybe we are too old for Departing Seniors. A familiar premise with a modern perspective, the film had us wondering what today’s youth are really like. We are not sure if all of today’s high school students are pieces of crap or if it is just a case of poor writing? Where do you draw the line between bravery and cowardice?

One thing is for certain, the 2024 film is a great entry point for younger audiences looking to try out teen slashers. It does not have the cringier elements found in older movies while dealing with topical issues. It is also well acted and has a fun little story. There are some flaws along the way, but it is definitely worth checking out. If you ever wanted to see what would happen when Karate Kid III and Saved by the Bell met, then this is the show for you.

There is a surprising amount of genre film news this week. Godzilla Minus One has done well among critics and audiences. This has led to a re-release that sounds pretty cool. For the time being, it is only in Japan, but we are sure it will come to America. We also talk two upcoming sequels. One has us excited; the other? Not so much.

We have been planning on talking about Mister Organ for weeks now. The documentary sounds innocent enough. An investigative reporter finds out about a strange parking scam and decides to follow up. It ends up being a mistake that changes his life for the worse.

The titular character is one of the most terrifying people ever captured on film. He is manipulative, calculating, and always seems to be one step ahead of everyone. We talk about how unremarkable he seems to be (this adds to how frightening he is) and how Mister Organ uses interviews and lots of conversations to showcase how terrifying he is. This includes an epic rant from Blake.

We close out our holiday horror shows with the world’s only zombie apocalypse musical. When Anna and the Apocalypse was released six years ago, it seemed destined to be a Yuletide regular. So why did it fail to even reach cult status?

The simple answer is that it is not that good. The idea is creative and the setting is perfect for what the creators had in mind. Unfortunately, the mix of comedy and high drama never effectively come together. The songs are decent, but derail the more serious aspects. The more horrific scenes take away all the fun. Anna and the Apocalypse is a mess.

Hollywood was crippled by strikes earlier this year. This led to a number of delays and changes including Dune: Part II. Thankfully, some great character posters were released. We also talk about one of the least talked about movies from one of our favorite actors. Plus, a look at the potentially great genre offerings coming at the end of the first week of December.

A Creature Was Stirring sounds like it is going to be a goofy holiday horror movie. A mother carefully takes care of her daughter who is suffering from a mysterious sickness. When two burglars great into her home, she is forced to confront her checkered past. Along the way, there is a unique creature, some well done Christmas vibes, and a pretty creepy story.

It's ending completely through us for a loop. It all but ruins every bit of goodwill that has been built by introducing a plot twist that makes little sense in the context of the story. We try to make sense of it and disagree over what it means for the movie as a whole. It also leads to the requisite conversation about whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie. (Spoiler alert: it isn't.)

It's a Wonderful Knife is a title that seems to trap a movie into being little more than a spoof. While there are some allusions to the Frank Capra classic, the 2023 film brings some fun new elements. There are great characters, a fantastic villain, and well paced story that does not waste any time. It is an overall great addition to anyone's holiday horror catalog.

We may not have spent much time talking about it, but the actors strike loomed over our humble little podcast. Now that it is apparently over, we talk about the ramifications it had and what it means for the future. We also have a discussion about the the prequel to Stephen King's It, Welcome to Derry. There are plenty of stories to be told and the possibilities for  a strong King property are there.

Leprechaun is a strange franchise. It is well-known with even people who have never watched any of them being able to name some of the movies in the franchise. And the titular character is a popular one. It is a smaller series whose first two entries were released in theaters before the rest went straight to video. Until 2014's Leprechaun: Origins.

The WWE Studios release is an interesting one that moves the franchise away from its comedy horror roots and goes all in on the scares. The jokes have all been removed and the film has become a creature feature. How well does it work? Well the fact that the next entry was a return to what the Leprechaun is known for says it all.

Hell House  LLC is another franchise that does not have the largest fanbase. While there is not one villain, there is an overarching story. The fourth installment adds to the lore while staying true to its original roots. We talk about the surprisingly strong characters, the straightforward storytelling, and whether we would want to see more of the found footage movies.

Viewing habits have changed drastically over the years. We talk about how delays have become a bigger part of the film calendar than ever before and how it now seems to take more than tentpole franchises to draw audiences. Plus, Mike Flannagan has another Stephen King adaptation coming and you may be surprised to hear who is part of the cast.

We have not done too many - if any - family friendly horror. This may be because there is so little to find on Shudder. This week’s show covers both bases as we cover a scary movie that the kiddos can watch and enjoy from the supernatural streaming network. The fact that it takes place in a Spirit Halloween should seal the deal for all the young ones in your house.

Spirit Halloween: The Movie is a straightforward story about a group of friends who decide to spend the night in the titular store. While there they must deal with a vengeful ghost. There are no twists or surprises and it is very much a “what you see is what you get” plot. It is perfect for a younger crowd, but it did not sit well with one of us.

Two horror icons teaming up for a horror movie centered around Halloween sounds like a good idea. Especially with a premise as goofy as the one Hayride to Hell gives audiences. But when the story is about a white man refusing to give up his land due to tradition is the least of the problems the writing has, you know you are in for a tough watch.

Hayride to Hell makes a strong case for most tone deaf movies we have ever covered. Even forgetting the protagonist who does not feel he has to pay back his bank loans, respect his neighbors’ legitimate concerns, or hire police for the crowded traffic, it is also incredibly misogynistic. Even if it were a 1970s exploitation flick, you would think they went too far.

We were both on the same page scripting-wise, but we were in entirely different books when it came to the performances.  We all know Kane Hodder is a great villain, but how is he as a smarmy asshole? And is Bill Moseley' wacky performance able to save this awful film?

To call Piper Laurie an underrated genre icon would not be entirely correct. She was an award winning actress who grabbed the spotlight in pretty much everything she was in. It is not until looking at her entire career that her contributions can be truly appreciated. We also revisit the idea of a Halloween television show and talk about the future of the V/H/S franchise.

True crime stories have real life horror naturally built into them. The Man in the White Van decides to lean into horror tropes and gives an almost slasher feel. It is a good idea in theory, but the execution makes for one of the worst things we have seen this year. From confusing editing to an ending that fails to work on any level, we go over everything it did wrong while trying to find something good about it.

At the other end of the spectrum is Last Stop Larrimah. For obvious reasons, there are not a lot of lighthearted true crime documentaries. This HBO documentary looks at the mysterious disappearance of a man living in the Australian outback. He lives in a small town of eleven people, and everyone is a suspect.

The film is able to mix humorous moments into its dark story without ever taking away from the gravity of the case. It is a bit of fresh storytelling that injects life into the genre. The already interesting case is made even more engaging thanks to the way in which everything unfolds. It is easily one of the better things we have seen this year.

We love covering indie films. It is especially fun when you get to see something really special. Still, it is hard not to worry that these little movies will not find a home. We do not expect these releases to have Barbie levels of success (though that would be awesome); we just want audiences to have the chance to see them.

This is why channels like Shudder are so important. Movies like You’ll Never Find Me have an opportunity to be seen and hopefully appreciated. We also talk about the genius of Taylor Swift and the power of her fans. We also look ahead to the last full week of September.

Werewolves have an interesting place in horror. They are one of the most popular monsters, but they are often treated as cute or funny. A strange fate for a creature that is rooted in tragedy. Shaky Shivers is the latest werewolf film with a silly spin. We talk about its performances, comedy, and surprising tie to Fast & Furious.

When people talk about how they dislike foreign movies, they do not think of the works of Park Chan Wook or J-Horror. It is not influential giallo or the body horror from France that turns audiences off either. For whatever reason, people equate foreign movies as “too artsy”. This week’s feature presentation is a great example of why.

The Origin of Evil has all the right ingredients for a fun and twisting narrative. There are wacky characters, an engaging mystery, and some hard hitting moments. It is also strangely paced, constantly anticlimactic and the writing seems unsure of itself. It does just about everything well, but nothing stands out.

In the season finale of the AIPT Movies podcast, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Chow Yun-fat’s OTHER Hong Kong action classic from 1992, Full Contact!

Greasers! Rock n’ roll action! Extreme dance sequences set to the sound of the band Extreme! Analog bullet time! Great stunt falls and finger gore! An incredible cast including the legendary Chow Yun-fat, Simon Yam, and Anthony Wong! Directed by Ringo Lam before he came to the states and started working with Jean-Claude Van Damme! Colorful and over-the-top villains! Some of the most mean-spirited camp you’ve ever seen that somehow leaves you feeling alive and rejuvenated despite all the violence and horror! 

In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Meg 2: The Trench, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and the Sharksploitation documentary!

Theme song is “We Got it Goin On” by Cobra Man.

It is the summer blockbuster season and that means week after week of memorable movies and huge box offices. At least, it did in previous years. We talk about the surprising successes and failures, the great showing of recent horror releases, and whether there will be a bonafide hit during the biggest movie time of the year.

Alita: Battle Angel came and went without much fanfare. When one of our biggest memories is that fact that a certain subset of people supported the film for the dumbest reason, you know there is not much the the actual movie. So, it came as a huge surprise when James Cameron recently mentioned how there is not one, but two, sequels planned for the surprising hit.

The Flood seems like a fun premise. A huge storm in Louisiana provides the perfect coverage for a daring prison break. Unfortunately, some incredibly angry alligators have different plans. Throw in plenty of fodder and some pretty gnarly gator kills and it sounds like a good time for all.

Yet, it somehow does not work. From overpowered characters to strange decisions, the film never seems able to find its way. It is a great example of a recent trend in Hollywood. This is arguably the best looking and simultaneously less sexy time in cinema ever. Does this lack of sex appeal hurt movies? Not necessarily. But it can add a layer to characters and storytelling when done right.

But would it help The Flood?

One Cut of the Dead is one of the most heartwarming and interesting success stories in cinema history. Still, it is surprising that a remake would come out of France. From an Oscar winning director! Final Cut is a loving remake that does not change much from the original. We debate the effectiveness of the characters and talk about the manipulative ending that somehow works.

When we spoke about the disappearance of Julian Sands in January , we took for granted that we would be found. Regrettably, his remains were found this week. He was a great actor who will be missed.

We admit it. There has been too much talk about comic book movies on this show lately. But the casting of Superman and Lois Lane is impossible to ignore. We give our opinions on the new actors and what it means for the DC Extended Universe.

It has been a while since we talked about cryptids. Our first review from Chattanooga is a look at America’s most famous mythical beast. At least, that is what it sounds like. Can you have a movie called The Bigfoot Trap and have no Bigfoot?

That is not the case here, but it sure does come close. Instead of being a story about the creature, the film focuses on its two main characters. It is a mixed bag that comes together in one of the best endings we have seen this year. But is it enough to save the movie?

We love found footage movies. The two of us are not the biggest fans of the term “POV movie”, but that does not take away from our enjoyment of the sub-genre. (We are just cranky old men who have a problem when it comes to change.)

Mind Body Spirit appealed to us because it is classic found footage with a modern sensibility. There are some creepy moments, some pretty neat gore, and yes, a computer cam. The film did a lot to impress us. So what stopped it from being something special?

We start the show with a tale of two box offices. It does not come as a surprise The Flash has underperformed at the box office. It was definitely a combination of superhero fatigue, the DCEU never catching on, and Ezra’s Miller's past problems, but what factored in the most? And how far up his own butt is Wes Anderson?

The passing of Treat Williams was a major blow to genre cinema. Treat has been around for decades and was a great leading man. We decided to cover one of his more recent movies. And who would have thought that the best Covid movie ever was made over twenty years ago?

Surprisingly, Venomous was never mentioned during the phase when everyone was locked at home watching movies about global pandemics. From lockdowns to masks to citizens being subjected to fake news, the film about genetically engineered rattlesnakes is like a crystal ball from 2000. The great use of stock footage, big explosions, and frightening snakes pushed it over the top.

They do not make movies like Mad Heidi. It is an exploitation movie pure and simple. A great mix of sex appeal and over the top violence, it will appeal to fans of old school grindhouse offerings without pushing away modern audiences. Few indie movies are as franchise ready and Alice Lucy absolutely shines.

Action movies just aren't our thing. Sure, there are exceptions like John Wick and Sisu, but for every Hobbes & Shaw, there is the entire Fast & Furious franchise. The Expendables has never caught our fancy and the poster for the latest installment pretty much sums up what we think of the entire series.

We spoke a few weeks ago about the surprising number of genre films that are showing at this year's Tribeca Festival. We start the show with one of fest's many world premieres. Somewhere Quiet is the story of a woman who has escaped an awful kidnapping. She and her husband  Scott head out to the his house in the woods so she can regroup. The unexpected appearance of Scott's cousin leads to high anxiety.

We discuss the difficulty with getting behind certain characters, suspect writing, and an outstanding performance. There is plenty of good things in Somewhere Quiet, but is it enough to save its confusing ending? Or did the deeper meaning just fly over our heads?

Robert Englund is a true icon of horror. He may not want to admit it, and  every person may not recognize his name, but  there isn't a soul who does not know who Freddy Krueger is. But there is more to Englund than A Nightmare on Elm Street. Hollywood Dreams and Nightmares is an in-depth look at the actor's career.

The thing that comes across most is Englund's love of cinema and his humility. He is interesting and has some great stories to share. (He has been in the orbit of some of Hollywood's most influential films.) There is a lot of talk about Nightmare, but the documentary has a whole lot more to offer. We also about our newfound appreciation for Screambox.

You know there is not much going on in the indie and genre world when the possible KISS biopic starts off the show. That being said, it is a fun discussion that includes street festivals, the mystique behind KISS, and what it is like to see the most mountains you have ever seen in your life.

What does Chris Rock have to do with queer horror? Not much. Then why are we covering Spiral? Believe it or not, there were actually two horror movies with the name released within a few months of each other. We cover the Shudder original about a same sex couple that move to a small town to raise their teenaged daughter. They soon learn their neighbors harbor a dark secret.

On the surface, the movie does a lot right. It presents a gay couple as nothing out of the ordinary, yet still makes the pairing a focal point of the plot. One of us had an epiphany watching Spiral while the other was unimpressed. And both of us agreed that for all the good it does, the film has a lot of flaws.

We have covered some sexy movies on our humble little podcast. We even dedicated a whole month to erotic thrillers. But few movies have been as sexy as Follow Her. We even wonder if we have ever covered a movie that is filled with this much lust. The story focuses on a social media influencer who accepts a job to complete an erotic novel. It soon becomes a game of cat and mouse that is titillating, suspenseful, and a whole lot of fun.

We begin with a talk about two of this year’s biggest and most controversial releases. The latest Indiana Jones film was met with a mixed reaction at Cannes. Meanwhile, on this side of the ocean the director of The Flash releases a huge spoiler. How is this good news for Indy and bad news for the DCEU?

One of our most popular episodes was a show we did centered around erotic thrillers. For whatever reason, we have not covered one in a long time. This week we return to the subject with a fresh take on the genre out of Argentina. The Attachment Diaries is a stylish neo noir that tackles some heady topics. The film is well-written, boasts two strong lead performances, and is unafraid to get graphic. But does pacing and an abrupt ending destroy all the good will?

There are arguably more movies about sharks than any other subject. There were so many that it was almost impossible to fin this week's feature on Tubi. Shark in Venice proves the number of good ones is much smaller. Are two big name stars (at least, the siblings of A-listers) enough to save a plot that is unsure of what it wants to be?

While the streaming media landscape is crowded, it could be worse. In this episode, we look at some streaming services that didn't stand the test of time. From platforms that were a bad idea from the start to ones that were victims of corporate mergers, we find out what went wrong.

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the biggest movie stars of all time. His new movie comes out this October. We talk about his penchant for working with the same directors and his history with horror movies. Plus, we discuss the scientifically proven scariest movie of all time.

Capsules has some cool ideas. It does a good job of building tension and has an interesting premise. But the writing ignores the characters, continuity, and its own logic. What good it does do is usually in scenes that do not make sense. Most of all, it is filled with privilege. 

Smoking Causes Coughing is the most absurd superhero movie ever released. It includes heroes named after cancer causing chemicals, a talking barracuda, and lots of blood. It does not make any sense on paper, but it is one of the most interesting films to come out this year.

We also talk about a modern kung fu movie, a quick remake, one of the biggest releases of the year, and a new release from Shudder.

There was lots of big movie news this week, highlighted by one of our favorite punching bags from a few years back. AMC unveiled a new ticket price plan and naturally we are...indifferent about it? We talk about live events versus movie theaters and the performances of 80 for Brady and Knock at the Cabin.

Consecration has everything needed for a discomforting horror film. The poster and images released have been downright frightening, the Scottish location gives the proper gloomy atmosphere, and the acting is spot on. Then comes the story. A suspicious murder that takes place in a creepy abbey has loads of potential.

Instead, the film is one of the most frustrating we have ever talked about. It looks good and the cast do a fine job, but there is just too much going on. What starts as a fishy murder soon involves, the Crusades, half-ass attempts at folk horror,  kids in cages, and nonsensical visits to prisons. At least the nuns laying face down in church looked cool.

Firestarter was one of the worst received movies of 2022. It recently reentered the conversation when its young start was nominated for a Razzie. How could we not watch it? We were expecting an awful movie filled with terrible performances. Is the remake as bad as everyone says? And what does Stranger Things have to do with it?
