Episode 208 - The Outwaters

Join us as we traverse the arid, alien landscape of 'The Outwaters,' Robbie Banfitch's found-footage horror that charts a group of friends' descent into terror in the heart of the Mojave Desert. Despite its ambitious intention and appealing premise, we found it lacking in narrative coherence, intentionality, and verisimilitude. Ryan was underwhelmed, generously allotting it a "stream" for its earnest attempt, and for the sake of staying up on the latest in independent horror. Tim had a much stronger reaction, labeling it a stern "avoid." Prepare to lose yourself in the shifting sands of our latest episode as we attempt to uncover 'The Outwaters,' a film that, in our estimation, also lost its way. 'The Outwaters' (2022) Written and Directed by Robbie Banfitch Where we watched: Apple TV rental RecommenDEADtions: 'The House Bunny' / 'The Flash'

Episode 207 - Men

In our latest episode, we unravel the layered world of ‘Men,’ a British folk horror film by Alex Garland, that sees a widowed woman, portrayed by Jessie Buckley, on “vacation” in a countryside village, tormented by the eerie men in the village, all brought to life by Rory Kinnear. We unpack Garland's layered narrative, drawing links to ancient cautionary tales, while also exploring the film's religious undertones and symbolism. ‘Men’ is a film that invites and defies consensus in equal measure, a trait reflected in our own verdicts. Ryan wasn’t very enamored, though conceded to a ‘rent’ due to the film's originality and enough intriguing elements. Tim however absolutely loved ‘Men’, awarding it an enthusiastic ‘buy.’ Are you ready to hear some men talk about ‘Men’? Tune in to our episode and let's dissect this folk horror enigma together!

Episode 206 - The Vanishing (1988)

"The Vanishing" isn't your usual kidnapping drama — this one's got LAYERS. We get tangled up in an intricate web spun around "what happened" rather than "whodunnit." "The Vanishing" taps into our fascination with the aftermath of a horrific event and explores the relentless grip of obsession. We chew on the tricky question of moving on and the paradoxical timelines of grief. Tim heartily recommends it with a "rent," while Ryan can't help but hold it to the higher standard of a "buy." Are you ready to vanish into "The Vanishing"? "The Vanishing" (1988) Directed by George Sluizer Written by Tim Krabbé (novel), George Sluizer (screenplay) Where we watched: Blu-ray RecommendDEADtions: "Freeway" and "Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby" / "Knock at the Cabin" Check us out on YouTube!

Episode 205 - Torso

Join us as we dismember the paradoxically dark reality of "Torso," an Italian horror classic that centers on a masked killer on a throat-slitting, sexual spree. We hop into our little Italian car and journey into the film's unsettling depiction of violence, exploring its uncanny ability to get at a disturbing, “real” feeling, despite unrealistic effects (a Giallo staple). With Ryan awarding it a "rent" and Tim giving it a "stream," we discuss the film's unique tension where brutality meets believability and so much more. We promise it'll be a 'cut' above the rest! Torso (1973) Directed by Sergio Martino Written by Ernesto Gastaldi Where we watched: Fandor RecommendDEADtions: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 / Britt's art installation

Episode 204 - Evil Dead Rise

Ryan and Tim take a dreary, deadite deep-dive into "Evil Dead Rise," the fifth installment in the iconic horror franchise. While the film didn't quite live up to Ryan's hopes, lacking a certain bite and earning a "stream" rating, Tim found it more compelling and awarded it a "rent." Our hosts discuss how and if filmmakers can "put evil" into a movie, how a “modern” approach both help and hurt the movie, as well as the potential pitfalls of too much character development. So pardon us as we can’t help but say: JOIN US! Evil Dead Rise (2023) Written and Directed by Lee Cronin Where we watched: Theaters RecommenDEADtions: Showing Up / Beau Is Afraid

Episode 203 - Renfield

Starring everyone’s favorite Nicolas Cage as the iconic Transylvanian Lord of Darkness, “Renfield” offers a fun and fresh “what if” in the form of a nine-decades-later sequel to the 1931 original “Dracula.” Ryan enjoyed the performances but couldn't bring himself to rate it higher than a "stream." On the other hand, Tim was smitten by its silliness, declaring it a new comfort movie and granting it a solid "buy." Tune in as we dismember the film's blood-sucking humor, chilling charm, and Nicolas Cage's reliably committed portrayal of the legendary vampire. Don't miss this fang-tastic episode! Renfield (2023) Directed by Chris McKay Written by Ryan Ridley Where we watched: Theaters RecommenDEADtions: Beau Is Afraid / Piranha
