Remember, today, don’t let a black cat cross your path, don’t walk under a ladder, step on cracks, spill salt.. really… just stay home and enjoy this podcast with us!

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH!

Jordan and JB talk about Bryan Bertino's 2020 horror heavy hitter, The Dark and the Wicked! We talk about Bertino's style and what makes this Devil movie a standout scare. 

The Cannes Film Festival may be the epitome of overindulgence. The outfits rival anything seen at the Met Gala while the setting is one of the most fabulous in the world. Fortnite is a multiplayer video game played by kids. So, what brought the two together? We talk about one of the strangest crossovers in years.

Every time we review a movie, we try to go in with zero expectations. That does not stop us from forming initial impressions, however. Green Ghost and the Masters of the Stone is a movie about a car salesman written by and starring... a car salesman. Charlie is down on his luck, but has a strong support system. He also learns that he has superpowers that can save the world.

We were interested in the movie because of its ties to El Paso and did not hesitate to watch it. Based on the premise, we each went in with a very specific idea of what we were going to see. All of us were surprised, but is that a good thing. We also discuss the passion put in the movie and the what seems to be a creepy crush the hero has on his sister.

The Dark and the Wicked  is something of a return to form for us. The intimate horror film about a pair of siblings up against a sinister force is worlds away from the over the top fare we have recently featured. Bryan Bertino has an impressive pedigree and his knowledge of the genre is on full display. But are there too many tropes and is the twist too easy to spot?

It is the last show of 2021 (or the first one of 2022 depending on when you hear this), and we get back to our horror roots with a double dose of scary fun. 'Hurt' is a slasher that takes place around Halloween. When her husband returns after being deployed, the two look to get their lives back to normal. We also look back on '30 Days of Night' and wonder why it is not talked about more.

We start off with some quick thoughts on the the past year. We talk about the changes we have gone through and what plans we have for the future. SPOILER: None of us are New Year's Resolutions types and planning ahead is not our forte.

Hurt has actually been doing the festival rounds since 2018 before it was finally released this year. We talk about its character driven story, how it subverts expectations with its neat opening fake out, and how well it works as a horror movie. Mixing slashers and mental illness tends to be reductive and almost insulting. Does Hurt manage to make things work?

Vampire movies will always be popular. This week, we talk about 30 Days of Night. We all remember the movie as being pretty popular when it first came out. So, why is it that no one ever talks about it today? Could it be that audiences were not ready for its story? Does it still hold up almost fifteen years later? And why haven't other vampires made this a month long festival?

There was a lot to like about the horror industry in 2021, especially with a return to theaters and the chance to share some of these moments with an audience again. From the return of the “Candyman” franchise through director Nia DaCosta to the inventive release schedule surrounding the “Fear Street” trilogy on Netflix, there was no shortage of new as well as recognizable titles that were released throughout the year.

While there was plenty of choose from, what really ended up as the best of the best of the year?

In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, Damon and Patrick are going to break down their top five picks for the best horror films of 2021…

Writer and director Bryan Bertino gained a huge following in horror after he served as the writer and director to the 2008 home invasion film “The Strangers,” which terrified audiences and left everybody in the theater feeling like this could happen to them. 

Bertino followed that up with the found footage film “Mockingbird” and then the 2016 movie “The Monster,” which kept him once again focused on a claustrophobic scenario featuring only a couple of key characters. Working alongside producer Sonny Mallhi, 

Bertino decided to turn his attention back to his home state of Texas for his latest project, which was actually filmed in his family’s house where he would often go to find inspiration while writing. Set against the backdrop of a sheep and goat farm, a pair of siblings return home to lend a hand to their mother, who has been caring for their ailing father. Despite their mother telling them not to come, the brother and sister defy her request and show up anyways but they soon find out what’s lurking inside the home is the reason why they should have stayed away. 

In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to unplug the phone and turn off the lights as we review the 2020 film “The Dark and the Wicked”…
