    Backrooms terrifies while destroying at the box office, plus Ice Cream man disgusts | Bloody Good Horror Review

    BGH enters the liminal this week as we review 20-year-old Kane Parson’s “Backrooms”, the film that’s been slaughtering the competition at the box office this summer. We discuss the liminal horror movement and its ties to Gen Z anxieties, the movie versus the web series, found footage, cameos, trivia and more.   Plus, Eli Roth (and Jon’s) project Ice Cream Man has a disgusting red band trailer full of murderous children, and Scary Movie has the dumbest (or best?) popcorn bucket you’ve ever seen.  Backrooms is an american science fiction horror film directed by Kane Parsons in his feature-length directorial debut and written by Will Soodik. It is based on Parsons' web series and inspired by the "Backrooms" creepypasta. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell.

    Passenger falls short, while Obsession breaks records | Bloody Good Horror Review

    This week the BGH crew hits the open road with the aggressively mediocre horror film “Passenger”. We discuss the hobo code, jump scares, the logic leaps, the "van life" cliches, and the very Buhguul-like demon. Plus, Obsession has a record breaking week two at the box office, and we dip our toes into the online mythos behind “Backrooms”, ahead of next week’s release.  A few weeks into their van life adventure, a young couple witnesses a horrific accident that leaves the driver dead. Soon they're being pursued by a demonic stalker who's impossible to outrun and follows them wherever they go. Passenger is an upcoming American supernatural horror film directed by André Øvredal and written by T.W. Burgess and Zachary Donohue. The film stars Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell, and Melissa Leo. Walter Hamada and Gary Dauberman serve as producers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Obsession, scariest film of the year? | BGH Review

    Is Obsession the scariest horror film of the year? We dive into the new release from Youtuber turned horror dynamo Curry Barker, including his exploration of Gen Z social and dating struggles, the film’s ties to “Incel Horror”, and why Obsession’s original ending was MUCH darker.    One programming note, we are trying to keep the initial “round table” section spoiler free for those who want a quick view of the film without spoilers.  Keep in mind that after that, we open up the discussion to the entirety of the film.  Obsession is a 2025 American supernatural horror film written, directed, and edited by Curry Barker. The film follows Bear (played by Michael Johnston), a music store employee who buys a supernatural toy and wishes for his childhood friend Nikki (Inde Navarrette) to fall in love with him. Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter also appear in supporting roles. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Frogman Returns director Anthony Cousins | Interview

    Anthony Cousins won over found footage horror fans big time in 2023 with his ode to Ohio's famous cryptid, the aptly titled "Frogman". Since then, Anthony and his indie film have amassed a cult following, that has even lead to the establishment of a Frogman convention in Loveland Ohio, the real life home of the mysterious creature. As momentum builds around Frogman, Anthony and crew are currently traveling the country screening its sequel, "Frogman Returns" for festival audiences, and garnering positive reviews along the way. Rachel and Eric sat down with Anthony recently to chat about the unlikely influences behind Frogman Returns, the trials and tribulations of shooting on authentic retro cameras, and dealing with his own legacy as "The Frogman Guy". ----- Support Bloody Good Horror, gain live stream access, join our Slack and get the entire back catalog by visiting us at: https://www.patreon.com/bloodygoodhorror BGH on social media https://www.instagram.com/bloodygoodhorror/ https://www.threads.com/@bloodygoodhorror Learn more about your ad choices.

    A horror film powered by millennial angst, "Buffet Infinity" | Simon Glassman Interview

    Rachel sits down with Canadian Director Simon Glassman to discuss his surrealistic, cosmic horror comedy Buffet Infinity. A profoundly original film that weaves millennial nostalgia for local cable commercials into a terrifying and hilarious battle over business and the fate of reality itself. The film hits streaming May 8th, 2026 after a small theatrical run. Topics covered include the cosmic horror of AI, why he kept the full movie from the cast until it was released, and why “Buffet Infinity” scratches that conspiratorial itch without all of the baggage. Plus, what Glassman is up to next. “Buffet Infinity” is a Canadian satirical comedy horror film, directed by Simon Glassman. A satire of consumerism inspired by Second City Television and told entirely through mock television commercials instead of conventional narrative, the film centres on the fictional Westridge County in Alberta, where two restaurants are fighting each other for dominance, spawning cults and sinkholes and other apocalyptic consequences Support Bloody Good Horror, gain live stream access, join our Slack and get the entire back catalog by visiting us at: https://www.patreon.com/bloodygoodhorror BGH on social media https://www.instagram.com/bloodygoodhorror/ https://www.threads.com/@bloodygoodhorror Learn more about your ad choices.

    More than a remake - “Faces of Death” (2026) horror review

    This week, the BGH gang dives into the meta slasher “Faces of Death” (2026)—a surprisingly entertaining meditation on online violence and its consumption. Inspired by one of the most notorious shockumentaries ever made, this modern horror film explores the blurred line between reality and exploitation.   Along the way, the crew breaks down why Dacre Montgomery's generic handsomeness is actually terrifying, explores the hosts and live viewers experiences with the original shocker, and discusses why content moderation is the scariest job in America. Then things get spicy when Rachel brings up the AI-generated Val Kilmer film nobody asked for. “Faces of Death” is a 2026 American horror film and a reimagining of the infamous 1978 film of the same name. Directed by Daniel Goldhaber (Cam) and co-written with Isa Mazzei (Cam), it stars Barbie Ferreira, Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX.
