The Perfection Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/06/12

For this week's episode of Horror Movie Talk, we watched The Perfection on Netflix, and it is what I would consider goodbad. It had some nice visual flares, and definitely some unexpected twists. However, it's major failing is not committing to the underlying schlock of the plot. * Skip to Intro - 00:30* Skip to Trailer - 7:00* Skip to Synopsis - 8:33* Skip to Review - 9:33* Skip to Score - 10:30* Skip to Spoilers - 20:00* Skip to Final Recommendations - 1:13:30* Skip to Taglines - 1:18:29* Skip to

Ma Movie Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/06/05

We went and saw Meh, er, I mean Ma, in theaters and it it was nothing new or exciting. If you take the stalker subgenre of horror or thrillers, add an academy award winner and a cast of pretty teens, you have Ma. It’s very by-the-books. Ma is an interesting enough movie that features darn good acting and solid direction. My problem with Ma is that it’s not notable enough to spend your money on it. It feels like many of the straight to streaming entries that Netflix provides us with, solid but

Brightburn Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/05/29

We went and saw Brightburn, and it was as advertised, but even more gory than I expected. It's not a perfect film, there isn't a lot of character development past the perfunctory set up, and there are some plot threads are fully dropped without explanation, but overall it delivers a very good horror film riffing on the superhero genre.* Skip to Intro - 00:19* Skip to Trailer - 7:29* Skip to Synopsis - 10:17* Skip to Review - 11:45* Skip to Score - 17:21* Skip to Spoilers - 21:31* Skip to Final

Tetsuo, The Iron Man (鉄男) Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/05/22

We watched Tetsuo, The Iron Man (鉄男　ＴＥＴＳＵＯ) on Shudder and jesus christ; I don’t have any words.Tetsuo is a David Lynchian / Cronenberg-esque film that aims to disturb with intensity and extreme imagery. Everything about this movie is turned up to the max. It’s full of intense mutilation, body horror, and sexually provocative fetishization and imagery. I wouldn’t go so far as to call Tetsuo, The Iron Man a good movie, as I would call it an important movie. * Skip to Intro - 00:42* Skip to Synopsis

Since there aren’t any new releases out this week, this week we are covering another listener suggestion. This one comes from Anthony F. in San Antonio, TX.“I have listened to almost every episode. I dig what you guys are doing. keep up the good work.I would love to hear your take on Kuso, it's available on shudder. It is one of the most fucked up films I have ever seen.” Anthony K.We watched Kuso, and as advertised, it is the most fucked up movie I have ever seen. And I’ve seen The Peanut Butter

The Ruins Movie Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/05/08

The Ruins is the ultimate 2000’s horror movie - way more budget than it’s worth, and interesting enough premise, and tons of schlock. It also stars the most notable nobody of any film ever, Jena Malone, whom you have definitely seen in something but probably can’t remember what. This is the most notable movie by director Carter Smith. I went into The Ruins movie remembering people calling it ‘distasteful,’ and I came out of it rather delighted.* Skip to Intro - 00:45* Skip to Trailer - 9:36* Skip

Evil Dead (2013) Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/05/01

In our Evil Dead (2013) Review we talk about how it is a great example of a horror remake done right. The bones of the original are still there, but Fede Alvarez creates something unique with this new film. While the original The Evil Dead is essentially a student film with a subversive streak, the 2013 Evil Dead is a high budget mainstream Hollywood horror movie with the gore turned up to 11. * Skip to Intro - 00:38* Skip to Trailer - 5:13* Skip to Synopsis - 08:39* Skip to Review - 12:05* Skip to

The Curse of La Llorona Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/04/24

This week we saw The Curse of La Llorona and wow, what a disappointment. This is the only ghost who is 100% kept out by shutting the door or window. This movie could have been so much more than it ended up being, which is just another low effort, jumpscare factory. Even the jumpscares were boring and predictable. The Curse of La Llorona just wants to take your money and give you next to nothing for entertainment value. I don’t know a lot about Mexican folklore, but I don’t think that this does the

The Wind Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/04/17

The Wind is a Western Horror movie that is a spiritual successor to The Witch. The harsh landscape and interpersonal paranoia are in the forefront of this tense thriller. We review the film and attempt to unravel the non-linear narrative to make sense of what actually happened to the four main characters.* Skip to Intro - 00:32* Skip to Trailer - 9:23* Skip to Synopsis - 11:53* Skip to Review - 15:26* Skip to Score - 20:18* Skip to Spoilers - 23:59* Skip to Final Recommendations - 1:06:27* Skip to

Pet Sematary (2019) Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/04/10

With Pet Sematary 2019 I was bracing for a bad movie because I enjoy the original so much, although much of that is nostalgia. Even though I was guarded, Pet Sematary proved itself to be a stellar remake that I would venture to say was better than the original. This remake used the first movie as a foundation to build afamiliar but different enough movie that had lots of call backs, and was, in many ways, a response to the original.* Skip to Intro - 0:25* Skip to Trailer - 7:44* Skip to Synopsis -

Pet Sematary (1989) Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/04/03

With the Pet Sematary remake right around the corner, we decided it best to give the original 1989 Pet Sematary the full Horror Movie Talk treatment. Pet Sematary is not really about a pet cemetery, but is really about what lies beyond…the pet cemetery. The only horror trope more predictable than a Stephen King story set in Maine, that’s right, an Indian burial ground. And as with every movie with an Indian burial ground, the moral to the story is: don't mess with an Indian burial ground. The movie,

Us Movie Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/03/27

We went and saw Us, and while it was an incredibly solid horror movie, it did not live up to the hype. Yes, it had good social commentary and implications. Yes, it is by one of the most respected (if only because of his single debut horror movie, Get Out) writers, directors out there, Jordan Peele. Yes, it starred an all-black cast. It’s hard to follow something like Get Out with something even more impressive, and that’s the only sin that Us committed. * Skip to Intro - 1:00* Skip to Trailer -

Terrified (Aterrados) Movie Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/03/20

We saw Terrified AKA Aterrados on Shudder (it’s a Shudder exclusive) and goddammit, it was a scary ride. This is an Argentinian horror film that knows how to terrify you - and holy jesus is it a blast!

Summer of 84 Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/02/27

We watched Summer of 84 on Shudder, and it was nostalgia-rific. Teenager Davey Armstrong is mired in conspiracy theories and the Weekly World News stories. Davey begins to suspect that a neighboring police officer is a serial killer who targets kids in the Cape May Oregon area (which is made up) called, “The Cape May Slayer. With some help from his friends, Davey begins investigating the perp, which eventually turns into a dangerous game of cat and mouse.* Skip to Intro - 0:37* Skip to Trailer -

Happy Death Day 2U Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/02/20

Happy Death Day 2U is the direct sequel to Groundhog Day plot stealing slasher Happy Death Day. Even though the slasher elements take a backseat in this entry, the fun and fresh tone of the original is maintained. This film has more of a sci-fi comedy than a horror movie and tries to extend the scope of the first film while maintaining the premise of living the same day over and over again. * 0:35 - Intro* 10:00 - Trailer* 15:40 - Synopsis* 20:40 - Score* 22:23 - Spoilers/Discussion* 59:54 - Final

The Prodigy Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/02/13

Today we review The Prodigy, which, if you recall from horror movie news a few weeks ago was pulled back into the edit bay because they claimed it was too scary. Well, mission accomplished, The Prodigy is no longer too scary. In fact, it isn’t too much of anything; it’s more of a forgettable horror movie that had decent promise and delivered on very little.* Skip to Intro - 0:42* Skip to Trailer - 10:00* Skip to Synopsis/Review - 11:28* Skip to Score - 21:38* Skip to Spoilers/Discussion - 23:35*

Piercing Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/02/06

Piercing is the story of man named Reed (played by Christopher Abbott) who is encouraged by his newborn baby to drug, kill, and dismember a prostitute in a hotel room. Murder isn’t as easy as it sounds, and after a Sitcom-esque introduction of Jackie the prostitute (played by Mia Wasikowska), his plans are inadvertently foiled. What follows is a weird sitcom trope of “will they, won’t they”, only referring to murder and not fucking.* 0:35 - Intro* 7:00 - Trailer* 9:14 - Synopsis/Review* 10:41 -

Creepshow (1982) Review

Horror Movie Talk ·

2019/01/30

I had a lot of fun watching Creepshow (1982). It’s presented in an entertaining way, has a ton of big names, and if you aren’t into the story, you can wait 20 minutes and see a new one because it’s a compilation of five horror stories. This was the only George A. Romero film to open at number one in the weekend box-office. It was a sleeper hit in theaters, and its charm is mostly to blame.* Skip to Intro - 0:17* Skip to Trailer - 5:39* Skip to Synopsis/Review - 7:07* Skip to Score - 9:52* Skip to
