A disheveled person with long, wild hair and a menacing expression holds an axe inside a dimly lit room with blue lighting, creating a tense and eerie atmosphere.

Madman

We head back into comfy early-’80s slasher territory with Joe Giannone’s 1981 cult favorite Madman. Even though we’d somehow missed it for years, we were genuinely impressed by how competent it is—strong cinematography, effective editing, solid performances, and practical effects that often land, plus a captivating campfire-story opening that sets the tone and lore of…

A bald man in a red suit with ornate rings and a beaded necklace intently manipulates a puppet, holding its strings in one hand and looking closely at its face in a dimly lit setting.

Opus

We head back to the modern age with A24’s 2025 thriller Opus, the writing/directing debut of Mark Anthony Green, featuring John Malkovich, Juliette Lewis, Ayo Edebiri, and Murray Bartlett. We talk about how impressive the filmmaking is, Malkovich’s unexpectedly convincing pop-star performance (including a full in-movie album), and the movie’s strong, tense, twisty atmosphere that…

A man with short hair in a light blue prison uniform stands near a wall, looking over his shoulder toward the camera. Behind him, metal prison bars are visible, suggesting a jail setting.

Prison

We dug up Renny Harlin’s 1987 haunted-prison flick, Prison, after it surfaced on our feeds—and we can’t believe we’d never heard of it, given the stacked cast and Harlin directing just before Nightmare on Elm Street 4. While the story feels convoluted and the setup is thin, the movie is slickly shot and packed with…

A person with curly hair holds a large electric drill in the foreground, aiming at another person standing in a dimly lit kitchen area cluttered with dishes and bottles.

Driller Killer

We tackle Abel Ferrara’s 1979 cult shocker The Driller Killer, a film Todd has wanted to cover for years and one Craig went in nearly blind on. We talk about its infamous cover art and how it helped spark the UK “video nasties” panic, then dig into the movie’s grimy New York atmosphere, disjointed character-study…

Two women face each other in a dark setting; one holds a lighter up, illuminating both their faces. The other woman has long hair and blood on her face, creating a tense atmosphere.

Match

We check out the 2025 Tubi Original horror film, ‘Match,’ and dig into its modern dating-app setup, low-budget vibe, and surprisingly solid practical effects. We talk through the creepy catfishing premise, the overbearing mom luring women to her house, and Henry’s memorable monster design, along with the movie’s mix of gross-out shocks, dark humor, and…

A young man in a yellow tank top stands with a relaxed expression as a young woman leans on his shoulder, holding his arm. Behind them are wall posters, safety signs, and an eye wash station in a classroom or lab setting.

Cutting Class

We picked the 1989 comedy slasher ‘Cutting Class’ because we needed something lighter, and it turned into a confusing-but-entertaining watch loaded with tonal whiplash, juvenile jokes, and some genuinely memorable kills. We talk about the oddball cast—especially a very young Brad Pitt—plus Jill Schoelen, Martin Mull, and Roddy McDowell, and why so many scenes feel…
