2023/04/20

Fed up girlfriend! unambitious boyfriend! Unexplained plague comes to North London! This week the boys had some much fun revisiting SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!

123: Possession

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/04/13

A divorce! Disturbing behavior! A husband searches for the truth! This week, the boys don't want to get in the middle of a POSSESSION!! A truly mad vision, is the best way to describe the movie. Scene after scene makes you think what the hell is going on here? Memorable performance and fucking insane film style but is this more shocking than enjoyable?

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/04/06

Orphaned 8 year old! A robotic engineer! Model 3 Generation Android! This week the boys meet a robot doll named M3GAN!! The story of M3GAN is not a new concept but blends the horror genre with campy comedy. It's earnest and ridiculous but is this murderous doll movie too tame?

Veterinary School! Vegetarian! Human Flesh! This week the boys go back to school but end up craving anything RAW!! People were repulsed and physically ill after seeing RAW.

120: Candyman (2021)

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/03/23

Gentrified Chicago! Neighborhood legend! An anxious artist! This week the boys, say his name five time...CANDYMAN!! The lore of Candyman is messy at best, so a sequel to the original movie in the trilogy, is a nice refresh. It invokes its political commentary and slasher roots but does it entertain or just a forced social statement. Plus, in TV CORNER we talk about episode 8 of YELLOWJACKETS!! And so much more!

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/03/02

Lego blocks! A father missing! Two children home alone! This week the boys look at ceilings, baseboards, and dimly lit rooms, all while humming SKINAMARINK!! A film that is unsettled and recreates that feeling of waking up in the middle of the night. Experimental in it's craftsmanship but are too many tricks used to evoke feeling?

Hippie cult! Demon-bikers! Vengeance! This week the boys are joined by Justin Wilmott and together they walk a secluded forest and run into a girl named MANDY!! Mandy is a 2018 horror action movie co-written and directed by Panos Cosmatos. A fever dream and nightmare of images. It's beautifully shot and can be shockingly brutal. But is it too indulgent or its uniqueness stays with you? Justin is a composer check out some of his work: https://themementomoricollective.com and follow him on

114: The Invitation

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/02/09

A courtship! Long-lost cousin! Twisted family secret! This week the boys, play oblivious Americans as they obtain THE INVITATION!! Gothic horror romance is made less and less, it's mostly now littered with euro trash renditions of vampires. The Invitation tries to blend both with a story that makes some sense. Mainstream horror is a whole vibe now. I have a hard time tuning in with studio horror today. But do accept or decline the invite? Plus, in TV Corner we talk about episode 3 of

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/02/02

A remote Island! A young couple! Exclusive restaurant! This week the boys challenge their demanding palate when they sample THE MENU!! The Menu has something fresh and interesting to say about art and artist. The story has many things to say about, how we consume, pursue, and obsess. Is this a satisfying narrative or all hype?

2023/01/26

Catholic priest! Black Metal fan! An occultist! All bent on committing as many sins as possible! Once again, the boys have to save the world and face THE DAY OF THE BEAST!! On rare occasions, a movie appears to mix many elements to its story. black comedy, action and horror. THE DAY OF BEAST, can be viewed as cynical piece of entertainment but pushes all the genres forward. Is this a perfect combination of Horror and Comedy or unclear mess? Plus, in TV Corner we start the series YELLOWJACKETS!!

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/01/19

Bachelorette weekend! Teen best friends! A taste of revenge! this week, the boys get stuck in a cabin with SISSY!! Sissy is much more than a horror movie. The film addresses issues like mental health and the influence of social media. it even borders on comedy at times. Is this a bloody good time or just to over the top? Finally the boys reveal their TOP 5 HORROR MOVIES 2022 Rolando's top 5 5. Deadstream 4. The innocents 3. Fresh 2. Barbarian 1. Black Phone John's top 5 5. Black Phone 4

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/01/12

The American Dream! Immigrant nanny! Concealed truth! This week, the boys need someone to take care of their Upper East Side kids and hire a NANNY!! Viewers may be surprised to find less slasher thrills and spectacular supernatural horror. It's more subdued and self aware horror that tries to avoid obvious tropes. A movie that is self-assured and unflinching but is it more disappointing or confused? Plus, in TV Corner, we check out episode 8 of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities and give

109: Bodies Bodies Bodies

The Skeleton Boys ·

2023/01/05

Hurricane party! Rich 20-somethings! Games turn deadly!!! This week the boys meet up with their favorite fake friends and play, BODIES BODIES BODIES!!! Bodies Bodies Bodies pokes fun of Gen Z with some good satirical elements. The "who done it" aspects are raveled together pretty neatly. Halina Reijn's direction is comprehensible and keeps the tension going once the bodies start dropping. But is it a blast or less clever than it thinks?

Traumatic incident! Frightening occurrences! Losing grip on reality! This week the boys put a SMILE on!! For the last movie of 2022, the boys check out new horror hit SMILE.

The Skeleton Boys ·

2022/12/22

A perfect Christmas Dinner! Environmental catastrophe! Suicide pill! This year the boys celebrate the holidays by checking out, SILENT NIGHT!! Christmas apocalypse. Love (death) Actually. There's many ways to describe SILENT NIGHT. it's a dark comedy with a anti Hallmark movie but is it a Christmas movie for the ages or just a premise that goes nowhere?

106: Popcorn

The Skeleton Boys ·

2022/12/15

Horror-movie marathon! College students! A master of disguise! The boys take of their biggest threat yet...POPCORN!! A true slasher that combines goofy comedy and nostalgia drive-in vibes. POPCORN, is a cult movie of the 90's that is very tongue-in-cheek but still plays out like an 80's slasher. POPCORN has some great ideas but is it too uneven?

105: Black Roses

The Skeleton Boys ·

2022/12/08

Rock and Roll band! Hypnotizing demons! Massive mullets! This week the boys, check out everyones favorite demonic band, BLACK ROSES!! Great, bad horror could be a sub-genre by itself. The idea to mix horror movies and metal music seems inevitable. There is a lot of big hair in this movie and 80's pop heavy metal too. Is this devil music to worship or just satanic panic? Plus, in TV Corner, we check out episode 3 of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities!! And so much more!! You can always
