Unsettling Mannequins & Blah Monsters: Oddity and...

Imported Horror ·

2025/03/14

Some people keep promises. Some people watch good movies. I did neither this week and let my intrusive thoughts convince me to watch Desert Monster (China, 2022) on Hi-Yah, a self-important monster flick that tries to deny it's B-movie bonnafides. Thankfully, Grady watched a good movie, Oddity (Ireland, 2024) on Shudder, a chilling blend of creepy house and Jewish folklore. We mourn the impromptu passing of Melissa, who was abducted and devoured by flying meatballs. Also, was Little Nicky a good

Icky Ninjas & Otherworldly Kids: Ninja vs Shark,...

Imported Horror ·

2025/03/07

There are shark movies and there are shark movies. Ninja vs Shark (Japan, 2023) is definitely the former - a bonkers Power Rangers-y shark flick that gets derailed by tone deaf plotlines and an irredeemable protagonist. Also, two folk horror flicks drop this week: the somber Starve Acre (United Kingdom, 2024) on Shudder and the part-Japanese, part-found footage Bloat (France, United States & Japan, 2025) on VOD and limited theaters.

Cave Monsters, Cringey Birthdays and a Puppet: The...

Imported Horror ·

2025/02/28

Do you prefer your cave monsters heavy and scary, or wildly ridiculous? Do you like happy birthdays, or celebrations with weird dialogue and flat jokes? Do you like playing with puppets? We ask the real questions this week as we go spelunking with The Cave (Germany, Australia & USA, 2005) on VOD, wonder if some "cult" films should stay forgotten with The Birthday (Spain, 2004) on Shudder and have weird fun with short films Stuffed and Meat Puppet on YouTube and Short of the Week.

Weird Vampires, Queer Revenge & Sidescrolling Aliens:...

2025/02/21

What's the last unfamiliar vampire trope you encountered? Did it involve aristocratic face paint? This week, we get folksy with unique bloodsuckers in The Vourdalak (France, 2023) on Shudder and vengeful with The Sermon (United Kingdom, 2018) on Shortverse. Plus, we chat about the deep xenomorphic roots of the Metroid franchize and why you should avoid the cringey edgelord Coffee Table movie dropping on Shudder.

Kung Fu Monsters & Try Hard Zombies: Water Monster &...

Imported Horror ·

2025/02/14

Did "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" need kung fu? Does an off-the-wall zombie plot twist need the B-movie treatment, or can it work in a serious movie? What do the top men at Tubi think of your genetics? This week, we get wild with Water Monster (China, 2019) on Hi-Yah and get amnesia with Die Alone (Canada & USA, 2024) on Tubi. We also play around with My Test Tubi and highlight fantasy horror, spooky nuns and mid-life crises dropping on VOD.

Skulking Humanist Monsters: The Tank & Carnifex

Imported Horror ·

2025/02/07

How do you judge a monster movie? If it's all about the practical effects, then The Tank (New Zealand, 2023) should slither into your eyeballs. If you want a creature feature with a sense of humor, though, head into the outback with Carnifex (Australia, 2022). Both are on Tubi. Also, a record-breaking Thai flick inspired by The Evil Dead hits Netflix and a vampire movie with the most on-the-nose title in history hits Shudder.

Gothic Twisty Tunnels: Get Away, Nosferatu (2024) &...

Imported Horror ·

2025/01/24

Does evil come from within us, or from family vacations to weird islands? What about weird sci-fi tunnels that close randomly? This week, we get gothic as all get out with Nosferatu (USA, United Kingdom & Hungary, 2024) and try to keep from spoiling Get Away (United Kingdom, 2024), Nick Frost's latest quotable horror comedy. Also, Marcus gets creeped the hell out by the short film Tunnelen (Norway, 2016, AKA The Tunnel) which Grady and Melissa manage to shrug off.

Vintage Vampires & Elder Millennial Chills:...

Imported Horror ·

2025/01/10

Every vampire movie feels familiar for a reason. This week, we dive into the OG horror flick - the century-old Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (Germany, 1922), a film that's easier to appreciate and admire than enjoy. Plus, we also flag "elder millennial" references in the short film Last Orders (United Kingdom, 2021) on Shortverse, chat about Florence Stoker and Joseph Campbell, and Marcus and Melissa make huge historical errors. One of them is funny; the other came from misremembering Queer for

2025/01/03

Has a Tinder date with a screenwriter ever gone really, really badly? Do you enjoy yoga on a picturesque bluff? Have you ever been trapped in a phone booth, or a vicious dictatorship with oblivious media censors? If so, good news! We take a slow walk in the woods with In A Violent Nature (Canada, 2024) on Shudder, get vengeful - maybe? maybe not? - with Play. Pause. Kill. (France, 2020) on Shortverse and get trapped in an absurdist Terry Gilliam-ish nightmare with La Cabina (Spain, 1972) on YouTube

Are you trapped in an existential crisis? Do you have aging parents with creepy woodworking talents? Have you ever refused to pay an exterminator? If so, good news! You'll feel seen by our episode this week as we chat about The Piper on Tubi, The Amazing Digital Circus on Netflix and Creswick on Shortverse. Also, if a meteor reversed Earth's polarity, how quickly would you get eaten by seabed monsters?

2024/12/20

Guess who's back ... back again. We've got a new job, more sleep and a clean-ish bill of health, so we're hopping back on the spooky train. We chat a bit about the last few months and share quick thoughts on Werewolves (awesome), Blood and Snow (definitely not awesome), The Well (ehhhh), Clock Tower (awesome) and a few other flicks and games.

What's your favorite 90s monster quote? Does un-funny office horror work? Could you read from a screen without tongue tying yourself? Get down on Friday with us this week as we get wild with the popcorny Carnifex (Australia, 2022) on Tubi, shrug at the wasted potential of The Belko Experiment on Tubi and get creeped out over late night snacks with Milk on Shortverse. Also, movies about bad dads and the wilderness are dropping this week and Melissa reminds us what George Romero called

2024/08/22

What's more frightening: anticipation, or realization? Amorous zombies, or giant holes in the ground? We get weird this week with Japanese folk horror classic Onibaba (1964) on Max, ultra-Italian bizarro flick Cemetery Man (1994) on Shudder and the trippy Canadian short Deja Vu on Shortverse. Plus - what major Asian city has not been attacked by a giant monster?

Why is it always rainy after the end of the world? If a serial killer is incompetent, does that make him more or less scary? Why was Wer so meh? Discover the answers to these questions - and more! - as we chat about Into the Abyss (Argentina, 2022), a SciFi noire horror somewhere between Blade Runner and 28 Days Later, and Angst (Austria, 1983), a true crime-inspired story of brutal murder. Also, Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color (Japan, 2023) might be a gimmick but its a magnificent gimmick, one of

Would you defend a werewolf in a court of law, even after it jumped the shark into a totally different movie? Would you hide from a villian named Scissorman? Would you pause a movie after discovering your toddler is afraid of the dark? We did! Join us this week as we chat about Wer (Romania & USA, 2013), Godzilla Minus One (Japan, 2023) and Monolith (Australia, 2022), plus upcoming video game remakes of slasher classic Clocktower, splattery zom-com Lillipop Chainsaw and spookfest Until Dawn.

After a waterlogged hiatus, we're pack to slice through the 2024 Chainsaw Awards. Which is better - The First Omen or Late Night With the Devil? Why were Sister Death and Project Wolf Hunting snubbed, and why is When Evil Lurks nominated for best wide release and best international movie? Pick a lane, Fangoria! Also, love you Nick Cage, but Longlegs (Canada & USA, 2024) is not a modern Silence of the Lambs. a bit overyped. We cut through the hype. Also, we revisit The First Omen and unpack trippy

This week, Melissa explores a new-to-us website for short films and jives with Rhyme Or Die (United Kingdom, 2021), a blend of 8 Mile and Saw with killer beats. Grady watches Howl From Beyond The Fog (Japan, 2021), a fantastic practical effects kaiju flick with behind-the-scenes footage and a mischevious cat. Marcus watched Brazilian B-movie Cemetery of Lost Souls (2020) solo - big mistake, it needs a distracted crowd - and celebrated the campy alien action vibes of The Lair (UK, 2022). Also,

Sharks are our friends! We should swim with them! Join us as we dive into the chummy waters of the Seine for the "platonic ideal" of so-bad-it's-good shark flicks, Under Paris (France, 2024). Then, watch the sincere but flawed folk horror Black Forest (Brazil, 2018), but if you jump ahead to the 1:18.20 mark, you'll be treated to the finest wild, cheesy, and splattery B-grade goodness that Tubi has to offer. Also, Marcus gets thoroughly creeped out by Stopmotion (United Kingdom, 2023) and a very
