It's Halloween! Which means we're all entitled to a good scare. Wayne is M.I.A, lost to the darkness of the forest, so our good friend, and official stand-in, Phil of Flixology 101 is sitting in the co-host chair alongside Liam. And Lucky for us we have a whole host of contributors (listed below) giving us their opinions on the cultural phenomenon that is The Blair Witch project. Cannibal Holocaust and The Mcpherson Tape both used found-footage to tell their story, but it was 1999's The

Michael Reeves might not be a household name, with only 3 films in his severely truncated career. But the movies he directed demonstrated a real mastery of the cinematic art, and today we’re here to shed some light on his work by taking a deep dive into his final film: Witchfinder General.Detailing the heavily fictionalised account of one of the UK’s most infamous figures, Matthew Hopkins, a man for whom the task of witch finding was merely a shortcut to fame, fortune and unquestionable power, it

Our pal Rolo Tony is back as we continue our dive into the works of Larry Fessenden, and for today's episode we're taking a look at easily Fessenden's most divisive film to date - the direct-to-Chiller, creature feature Beneath. Taking a relative battering by the critics of the time, and an equally poor audience reception, does Beneath deserve another look at? Does it retain Fessenden themes and concerns, which made his name in Underground USA horror landscape? Stay tuned as we dissect

The Bigfoot journey continues here at In Film We Trust as we welcome back Scott West, Phil DeGlass and Matt Rotman. Last week we travelled to upstate New York in search of a Yeti, now we’re in Northern California in search of the big hairy one himself: Bigfoot. Night Of The Demon impressed very few people back in the day, so we’re here to see whether or not its worthy of reappraisal. Is it cheap, exploitative trash or a work of unsung genius? There’s only 1 way to find out. Pack up the Econoline Van

Ok it might not be earthshattering, but it’s fertile ground for some laughs, some fun analysis and a lot of behind-the-scenes factoids.So on that note we’re inviting our good friends Matt Rotman, Phil DeGlass and Scott West, who joined us last year to discuss Christmas Evil, to come back for

We welcome underground filmmaker Charles Pinion back to the show for part 2 of our dive into his transgressive, shot on video works. In part 1 we discussed the punk-splatter of Twisted Issues, and today we are discussing Red Spirit Lake - his second feature, and arguable his most narrative driven of his early work. In this episode we contextualise his the film within the period - his work at the counterculture skin rag Screw magazine, his friends in the Cinema of Transgression and the

After a brief hiatus, we’ve returned to our rightful place in front of the mics. Some months ago, with Liam off saying hello to Dennis Hopper on a psychedelic tour of the stratosphere. Wayne welcomed our good friend Rolo Tony on to discuss Larry Fessenden’s 1997 Vampire film Habit. That was the first episode in a miniseries that continues today with Wendigo, a film set in the snow-covered wilderness of upstate New York, where a child’s imagination causes the line between reality and fantasy to

This week Wayne is on the lam from Interpol, so Phil Deglass, CEO, COO, and whatever other acronyms he gave himself during the episode, of Flixology 101 is sitting in the co-host chair with Liam, as he brings the podcast Dario Argento's giallo Opera to discuss - a film many believe is Argento's last outright classic. But is that true? Well, stick around to find out, because we've got opinions on that, alongside the 'Macbeth curse' that befell the film and much more!

We're dipping our toes into the world of Jim Van Bebber - the controversial filmmaker of works such as My Sweet Satan and The Manson Family. But for this episode we're going back to his feature length debut Deadbeat at Dawn, a gangland tale of revenge, the occult and murder, that showed the same shoe-string ingenuity as contemporary Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead. And for this episode we're joined by Jed Maheu, leader of punk-metallers Zig Zags, who's band has just released

While Liam is off on a wild psychedelic adventure, Wayne is here to kick off a mini-series on New York filmmaker Larry Fessenden with our friend and previous collaborator Rolo Tony. Fessenden’s name may not be as recognisable as the likes of Carpenter, Hitchcock, Cronenberg and others, but Tony is here to explain why he still deserves to be mentioned among these all-time greats. So we’re starting this little project with the 90s vampire horror film Habit, an allegorical take on… well, a variety of

Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho is one of the most acclaimed horror films of all time, a chilling window into the mind of a twisted, voyeuristic killer with serious parental issues. Sadly, it’s huge success overshadowed a lesser known but strikingly similar film called Peeing Tom. Now hailed as a masterpiece, it dealt irreparable damage to its director Michale Powell’s career and spent years in shame and obscurity. This week, we’re digging out our finest 60s camera and most cumbersome tripod and, with the

IFWT is riding solo this week to dive into a almost quasi lost New Hollywood film The Hired Hand, directed by and starring Easy Rider's Peter Fonda. The Hired Hand came about due to Universal jumping on the Easy Rider trend and giving new directors 1 millions dollars and final cut (so they say), in an attempt to capture the indie success of Easy Rider. Did it work? Did it succeed? Were all parties happy with the result? well, u gotta stick around. Because, other than the IFWT dive and analysis,

Alexandra Hay might not be a name that means much to you, but for todays guest, Dylan Dean Staley, it’s been the focus of his creative endeavours for the better part of a decade. So today he’s on the show to tell us all about this enigmatic figure, with special focus on one of her most highly regarded movies: Model Shop. A clear influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, its freewheeling, subtle, character focused style alienated many at the time, including much of the critical

Pinion made his mark on the shot-on-video scene of the 1980s with his debut feature Twisted Issues in 1988 - an experimental psychotronic story of a bullied skater who is killed and resurrected, attached to his skateboard(!!!), to enact bloody revenge on his perpetrators. But it wouldn't be right to just dive into Twisted Issues. We wanna know his story! his

The Vanishing stands as one of the most highly regarded European films ever made films, and on this episode we’re inviting on a guest who, quite literally, wrote the book on it. Writer and film critic Christina Brennan, author of The Vanishing (Spoorloos), is going to guide us through the production history, behind the scenes dramas and all the fascinating ins and outs that revolve around what some regarded as one of the scariest and most unsettling films ever made.

Death Race 2000 is one of the most famous films to come from the world of B-movie legend Roger Corman, and with an illustrious cast including David Carradine, Mary Woronov and a pre-super stardom Sylvester Stallone, it’s also one of the most well-regarded.

Starring a returning Cathy Moriarty, who after suffering a horrific car crash, was out of movies for 5 years, and also starring a magnetic David Keith .Is it a giallo? Is it a slasher?

The French Connection was a departure for director William Friedkin. After the BO failure of The Boys in the Band, he pivoted, and put his learned skills to the emerging zeitgeist grabbing action and car chase film. But this film, is more than its infamous chase scene, it's a terrifically gritty tale of urban decay, set amongst the backdrop of the NYPD and the drug underworld. And lucky for us, we're joined by writer Jason Allison, a retired NYPD narcotics, and homicide detective with over
