Every midnight, Eva opens a door and finds a different kind of chocolate. And of course, much more, as this strange box is a cursed antique.

    This week on the Really Awful Movies Podcast, another sequel in a well-known horror franchise: Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice. Time for some hicksploitation...

(if you're interested in a discussion of the first Children of the Corn, give it a listen)

    Really Awful Movies: Ep 483 – This Is Spinal Tap

    Really Awful Movies: Ep 482 – The Black Phone

    This week, The Black Phone. From the director of the Ethan Hawke-starrer, Sinister, this is one of the better Blumhouse productions (not saying much, to be fair). On this episode, a dissection of the at times quite excellent horror/thriller.

    Really Awful Movies: Ep 481 – Mr. McMahon

    This week, the Netflix doc, Mr. McMahon. If you're not a fan of wrestling, maybe pass on this one? Or better yet, give it a shot. It's about the brains (so to speak) behind pro wrestling and his seedy background promoting the enterprise which fused sport and entertainment, the WWF / WWE. So, brother...step into the squared circle, and throw yourself off the top turnbuckle. Tune in, and don't forget to sub.

    Really Awful Movies: Ep 480 – The Forest

    To the 80s we go, and investigating another backwoods horror film, The Forest. A micro-budget affair, this one sees California hikers set upon at a remote park in the Sierra Nevada mountains. But this isn't your run-of-the-mill slasher. No, it's a multi-genre horror extravaganza! Tune in and subscribe to the Really Awful Movies Podcast.
