tigers are not afraid

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.

Our 13 Days of Halloween series continues, as Rosa returns to the show to discuss the 2017 Mexican horror movie, Tigers Are Not Afraid. It's been big-upped by Guillermo del Toro and Stephen King, and features Namor, himself - Tenoch Huerta - so we're expecting good things!

Issa López's 2017 haunting Mexican crime-fantasy movie Tigers Are Not Afraid made a big impression on horror royalty and on us.

Time to wrap up our little horror vacation to Mexico, but we've saved two of the best for last! Both featuring children as the primary characters. Along with a Mexican movie set in France and filmed in English. Madness, you say? You would not be wrong.

And with madness we begin! We visit a sanatorium, curious about the methods the doctor uses to treat his patients. However, it does not take longer than a few short minutes to realize that the patients may actually be running the asylum. You too may require treatment for your own mental illness, that develops from having viewed The Mansion of Madness (1973)!

We spend a little more time with Carlos Enrique Taboada, as he delivers an absolute treasure of a film. Two girls in need of friendship, find each other and seem to make a connection. Though they may not be the best fit, as manipulation and blackmail do not seem to make for lasting relationships. A character piece, with a phenomenal pair of young actors, Poison for the Fairies (1986) is essential slow-burn horror, paying off with a disturbing finale.

And then from there, orphaned children from the violent streets of Mexico, are aided by vengeful supernatural forces, in their quest for revenge against the gang leaders who took their families from them. Again, incredible child actors make this movie a very special experience, as writer/director Issa Lopez delivers a tale of modern urban horror in Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017).

Tigers are Not Afraid (Vuelven) - "They're burying me."

This week we cover TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID (Vuelven) from director, Issa López - a favorite of Guillermo del Toro. This one is not for the faint of heart - it might tear you up like a tiger ripping through your soul... A dark fairy tale about a gang of five children trying to survive the horrific violence of the cartels and the ghosts created every day by the drug war.

This film will leave you pondering real life monsters vs. the imaginary. We hope you enjoy this latest episode of the pod!

This is truly a momentous occasion. This episode marks the return of the inimitable Issa López. This time she’s on the show to talk about Ridley Scott’s classic, Blade Runner. Issa has so many fantastic anecdotes from her many years of working in Mexico’s film industry. She talks about the nightmare of someone else directing her own script. She reveals how she was fired from writing a screenplay for a movie she was directing. And she talks about collaborating with her old pal Guillermo del Toro. One of our favorite guests of all time, and she does not disappoint.

You can watch Tigers Are Not Afraid on Shudder now.

If you haven’t seen Blade Runner…it’s great!
