Triangle

Thank you, Darren, for pointing us in the direction of Triangle – a solid thriller that we enjoyed a lot. Assuming, of course you wanted us to review 2009’s Triangle and not 2016’s The Triangle…

A woman with smeared red lipstick looks shocked, as if caught in a scene from a horror movie review podcast, while a man in a sweater stands behind her on an urban street. The backdrop of looming apartment buildings and parked cars adds an eerie touch to the moment. 1

Possession

This is the story of divorce amidst a failing relationship, told with style and high-intensity and a very obtuse plotline. We often didn’t know what to make of the goings-on, but we couldn’t deny that this film unsettled us both, and that’s a good thing. Have a listen.

A group of eerie figures with glowing eyes emerge from the shadows under blue lighting, like something straight out of a horror movie review podcast. These zombie-like apparitions, in tattered clothing and menacing postures, stand starkly against the dark background. 2

Demons

It’s about some demons who wreak havoc in a movie theater and turn the people they kill into demons too in an increasingly madcap manner that is as over-the-top as it is incredibly satisfying. If you’re into this sort of thing, anyway.

Three people stand at the edge of a stone well, gazing down. Above them, a bright blue sky with clouds hangs overhead. One person clutches a rope tightly, as if they might discover something sinister lurking below—a scene straight out of a horror movie review podcast brimming with anticipation and curiosity. 0

The Ruins

Both of us read the book this film was based on, so it added another dimension to our discussion about this killer plant thriller in the wilds of Central America.

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

This movie adaptation takes the imagery from the book’s nightmarish illustrations, and the urban legend tales that spooked us out so much as kids, and combines them into a “kids’ horror film” that manages to be the dark, twisted, no-holds-barred kids’ horror film that we have often lamented from our childhoods. A pleasant surprise and a fun film to talk about.

In a black and white photo, two smiling women are captured—yet a freshly drawn red "X" ominously marks the face of the woman on the left. It’s as if this snapshot could be a chilling topic on a horror movie review podcast, inviting speculation and mystery. 0

Graduation Day

Thanks to Dave for recommending this hilarious, so-bad-it’s-good movie as we sit at home in isolation.
