Thanks to Paul for this long-standing request, selected by our Patrons. Coincidentally, The Sixth Sense and Stir of Echoes share similar themes, but this one is stylishly directed by accomplished screenwriter David Koepp. We had nothing bad to say about it. Enjoy!
Directed by Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day), co-written by Michael Kennedy (It’s A Wonderful Knife), Freaky stars Vince Vaughn in a masterful and hilarious turn as a teenage girl trapped in the body of a Jason-like serial killer. Ultimately, we both agreed this modern horror-comedy is pure popcorn fun from beginning to end, yet still maintains a satisfyingly sharp, gory edge. Check it out!
This week we pay tribute to Donald Sutherland, who recently passed away, with the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Along with a look at Sutherland’s performance, career and uncharacteristic magnetism, we discussed why this story has resonated with audiences throughout several generations.
Touted by many as a “solid zombie movie” and reminiscent of Fulci’s far-better Zombi 2, we found it…well, a little dull and tedious. With one very notable exception…
We wrap up Werewolf Month with a listener suggestion. 2015’s Howl is kind of like a Train To Busan, but with werewolves in the dead of night in the English countryside. A solid film to end a solid four-week overview of the werewolf genre. Hope you’ve enjoyed Werewolf month, sponsored by Manscaped!
