Alien

If you haven’t seen Ridley Scott’s original Alien by now…well, we can probably forgive you. After all, its intense and exciting sequel (Aliens) is where most of us have spent the majority of our Alien-watching hours. Nevertheless, there is nothing to criticize about this incredible film, which set the stage for a franchise that shows no signs of stopping today. With one glance at the cast list, it should go without saying that this is an incredibly well-acted movie, and Ian Holm’s powerful-yet-understated performance is among the top of the ensemble. We were sooo happy to finally have a good excuse to revisit this landmark film.

The Witches

It turned out to be much scarier than we remembered, making it a perfect selection to continue our month of family-friendly horror films. And the remake is on the way, so we’ll see how it measures up to the original.

3615 Code Père Noël (aka Deadly Games)

And yes, the similarity is strong: A young boy is forced to use traps to protect his home after a menacing Santa slides down his chimney. Although it’s much darker than most holiday movies, what we found in this forgotten French flick was a lot of heart and a fun ride. Recently remastered, you can now catch it exclusively on the Shudder network.

Todd thought it was funny. Craig thought it was stupid. Listen to find out why and laugh along with us at the ridiculous snowman puppet and corny one-liners.

A person with curly hair lies on a bed with red and black sheets, evocative of a horror movie review podcast backdrop. They gaze towards the camera, wrapped in dark fabric, one hand resting on their leg. The dimly lit setting enhances the eerie yet relaxed atmosphere. 1

Society (1989)

Neither of us can figure out how this shocker escaped our notice all these years. All we can say is, better late than never. Whatever you do, save yourself the surprise ending by not reading anything online about this before you see it.

This home invasion film puts a bit of a twist on the genre. We both enjoyed discussing this fast-paced gem.
