NECRO 252 SPEAK NO EVIL

NECROMANIACS PODCAST ·

2024/12/19

The creepy, uncomfortable 2022 original version of this film rated high with us. The Danish film directed and written by Christian and Mads Tafdrup was an intense study in dread, anxiety and tension. Do we really need a remake only three years later? Enter James Watkins who brought us the brutal Eden Lake back in 2008 to see if he is up to the task.

NECROMANIACS PODCAST ·

2024/11/21

Damien Leone began the saga of Art the Clown over ten years ago with the short film collection All Hallow’s Eve. Terrifier, the first feature length film hit the streets with a grim, brutal update to the classic slasher archetype and the mayhem continued in 2022 with Terrifier 2, upping the ante with cruelty, dark humor and extreme violence but with the introduction of a deeper storyline and mythology. This year’s Terrifier 3 is, by all estimations, a box office hit. Listen in on our discussion of

2024/10/31

It seems like this film came out of nowhere and has been garnering quite a bit of attention. STRANGE DARLING is JT Mollner’s second feature length film that explores serial murder, possibly the tense relationship between the sexes and madness. SHOT ENTIRELY ON 35 MM, this film is also Giovanni Ribisi’s cinematography debut.Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “Brainchild” – Bloodlet

In 2004, Mike Salomon brought The Lot to us again with another miniseries featuring Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer and Rob Lowe. How does Gary Dauberman’s feature film measure up?

NECRO 241 EDEN LAKE

NECROMANIACS PODCAST ·

2024/09/26

This week, we go back to 2008 to revisit the uncomfortable, British horror-thriller Lake Eden. Written and directed by James Watkins, this film, in some ways primed him for Speak No Evil, his latest filmmaking assignment. Additionally, you get Michael Fassbender and Kelly Reilly early in their careers, portraying a young couple who get terrorized by a group of young townie-hoodies. Eden Lake has been cited as a film commenting on “Broken Britain” moral panic of the early 21st

It’s been a Hell of a year for horror and there is a lot left on the horizon. Maxxxine is the third installment of Ti West’s trilogy.
