Good Film Hunting

Tummy Twins Media

Good Film Hunting (GFH) is a movie channel built around one simple question: is this movie worth watching? Gary and Andy don’t do lectures, scorecards, or film school breakdowns. We watch the movie, talk it out, follow the conversation where it naturally goes, and give you an honest take — the good, the bad, and the “what were they thinking?” From cult classics and retro rewinds to new releases, flops, and forgotten curiosities, GFH is about reactions, perspectives, and the kind of movie talk you’d have with friends after the credits roll. No yelling. No hot-take nonsense. Just real conversation, differing opinions, a few laughs, and a clear answer at the end: should you watch it, or skip it? If you like movies and like talking about movies, you’re in the right place.

    Episode 176 - The Mist (2007) - The End Justifies? - Good Film Hunting Cult Classic Review

    This week we are engulfed by The Mist, Frank Darabont's 2007 creature-feature turned existential gut-punch, starring Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, and Laurie Holden, based on Stephen King's novella. After a violent storm, a mysterious mist traps survivors inside a Maine grocery store, where the danger outside may be nothing compared to the fear growing within. The Mist arrived in theaters to mixed fanfare, was overshadowed at the box office, and then quietly became one of the most passionately defended genre films of the 2000s. Are we card-carrying members of the cult or did we find that the fog of nostalgia obscured some cracks in the foundation? Find out on this Cult Classics review on Good Film Hunting! #GoodFilmHunting #cultclassics #themist #frankdarabont #stephenking #thomasjane #MarciaGayHarden #LaurieHolden #AndreeBraugher #horrorfilm #scifihorror #moviereview #filmdiscussion #CultClassicFilm #stephenkingadaptation Release Details Title: The Mist Year: 2007 Director: Frank Darabont Writer(s): Frank Darabont (screenplay); based on the novella by Stephen King Top Billed Stars: Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Laurie Holden, Andre Braugher, Toby Jones Running Time: 126 minutes (color theatrical cut); 127 minutes (black and white version) Country of Origin: United States Official Release Date: November 21, 2007 (USA theatrical) Other Notable Projects Frank Darabont (Director) Darabont's three theatrical features form one of the most remarkable Stephen King adaptation trilogies in Hollywood history. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) remains one of the highest-rated films on IMDb and earned seven Oscar nominations. The Green Mile (1999) was another King adaptation and another commercial and critical success. The Mist was his third and final theatrical King adaptation — and arguably his most formally daring, precisely because it ends on a note of utter nihilism that neither Shawshank nor Green Mile would ever risk. His subsequent work on The Walking Dead's first season is considered by many fans to be the high-water mark of the series; his abrupt firing by AMC in 2011 remains one of TV's more infamous behind-the-scenes stories. Thomas Jane (David Drayton) Jane had built solid genre credentials before The Mist via Boogie Nights (1997), Deep Blue Sea (1999), and The Punisher (2004). The Mist remains his most emotionally demanding screen performance — the final scene in particular requires him to carry an almost unbearable dramatic weight in complete silence. He returned to Stephen King territory with the Netflix film 1922 (2017), another critically admired adaptation. Jane has spoken publicly about The Mist being the role he's most proud of. Marcia Gay Harden (Mrs. Carmody) Harden won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Lee Krasner in Pollock (2000). Her Mrs. Carmody sits at the opposite end of the performance spectrum — raw, unhinged, and deliberately theatrical in a way that rewards the film's allegorical ambitions. Her work in Mystic River (2003) and Into the Wild (2007) reinforced her range; The Mist remains a cult-defining turn. Laurie Holden (Amanda Dunfrey) Holden appeared in Darabont's Silent Hill (2006) before The Mist, and went on to play Andrea in The Walking Dead — cementing her status as a Darabont ensemble regular. Her Andrea arc on TWD was famously controversial among fans, but her measured, humanizing work in The Mist is exactly the kind of grounded performance that keeps the film tethered when its wilder elements threaten to untether it. Andre Braugher (Brent Norton) Braugher brings an enormous amount of dramatic authority to the role of Norton, the Drayton family's skeptical neighbor whose rationalism ultimately destroys him. Known at the time primarily for Homicide: Life on the Street and Glory (1989), Braugher later became a comedy icon via Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021). The Mist catches him in a transitional period — and his willingness to play a character the audience is meant to both admire and watch be ground down by stubbornness is quietly one of the film's most interesting performances.

    Episode 175 - Hokum (2026) - Haunted or Hollow? - Good Film Hunting Review

    This week we check into Hokum (written and directed by Damian McCarthy), where the concierge seems off, the honeymoon suite has baggage, and where a case of writer’s block is probably better handled at home. This film takes us into the Irish countryside, where Adam Scott plays a reclusive horror novelist who visits a remote inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, only to get pulled into tales of a witch haunting the honeymoon suite and a disappearance that cracks open his own past. So is Hokum a chilling throwback to old-school gothic horror, or does this haunted honeymoon suite leave modern audiences waiting for a scare that never checks in? #goodfilmhunting #hokum #HokumMovie #DamianMcCarthy #adamscott #PeterCoonan #DavidWilmot #FlorenceOrdesh #AustinAmelio #JosephBishara #neon #horrormovie #folkhorror #moviereview #filmdiscussion Release Details Title: Hokum Year: 2026 Director: Damian McCarthy Writer: Damian McCarthy Top Billed Stars: Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Will O’Connell, Michael Patric, Brendan Conroy, Austin Amelio Running Time: 107 minutes Country of Origin: Ireland / United Arab Emirates Official Release Date(s): World premiere at SXSW on March 14, 2026; U.S. theatrical release through Neon on May 1, 2026; UK/Ireland release also listed for May 1, 2026; some international markets, including Australia/UAE-related listings, show late April/May regional dates. Other Notable Projects Damian McCarthy — Director/Writer McCarthy’s key context is Caveat and Oddity, both of which built his reputation around controlled spaces, eerie objects, folk/supernatural dread, and the sense that moral rot invites supernatural consequences. Hokum is the “next step” movie: bigger star, wider release, same basic fascination with guilt, enclosed locations, and fear that creeps in from the edges of the frame. Adam Scott — Ohm Bauman Scott brings a fascinating career split into this: beloved comic roles in Step Brothers, Party Down, and Parks and Recreation, plus darker dramatic work in Severance and now Hokum. The Washington Post specifically frames the film as Scott leaning into his “jerk” side while still using the vulnerability that has powered his recent prestige work. Peter Coonan — Mal Coonan gives the film local texture and suspicion, functioning as part of the Irish ensemble that keeps Ohm off-balance. For the episode, he is useful to discuss as part of the film’s “outsider enters a closed local ecosystem” setup — the people around Ohm are not just exposition machines, they are part of the threat environment. David Wilmot — Jerry Wilmot appears to be one of the film’s tonal wild cards. Reviews highlight Jerry as part of the movie’s off-kilter folk-horror personality, helping keep the film from becoming only gloomy grief horror. Florence Ordesh — Fiona Fiona is central to the mystery engine: her disappearance is what pushes Ohm deeper into the hotel’s secrets. That makes her less a side character than the story’s pressure point — the person whose absence forces the movie to move from creepy atmosphere into investigation.

    Episode 174 - Shelby Oaks (2025) - Worth the Watch? - Good Film Hunting Review

    Shelby Oaks may sound like the kind of place where you’d buy antiques, homemade apple cider, or maybe a rocking chair with an odd stain, but this week we wander into the woods of Shelby Oaks for the 2025 theatrical horror mystery written and directed by Chris Stuckmann. Starring Camille Sullivan as Mia, the film follows as she obsessively searches for answers after her sister Riley vanished while investigating the titular abandoned town with her paranormal web series crew. Did Shelby Oaks plant the seeds for a new horror filmmaker to grow? Find out on this episode of Good Film Hunting. #GoodFilmHunting #ShelbyOaks #ShelbyOaksMovie #ChrisStuckmann #CamilleSullivan #BrendanSextonIII #SarahDurn #KeithDavid #MichaelBeach #MikeFlanagan #HorrorMovie #FoundFootage #MysteryThriller #MovieReview #FilmDiscussion Release Details Title: Shelby Oaks Year: 2025 theatrical release; world premiere was in 2024 Director: Chris Stuckmann Writer(s): Chris Stuckmann; story by Chris Stuckmann and Samantha Elizabeth Top Billed Stars: Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, Keith David, Sarah Durn, Michael Beach Running Time: 91 minutes, though some festival/review listings used earlier runtimes around 99–102 minutes Country of Origin: United States Official Release Date(s): World premiere: July 20, 2024 at Fantasia; U.S. theatrical release: October 24, 2025 via Neon; U.K. release: October 31, 2025 Genre: Horror / Mystery / Thriller Other Notable Projects Chris Stuckmann — Best known before this as a long-running YouTube film critic, Stuckmann’s importance here is less about prior directing credits and more about the leap from criticism to creation. Shelby Oaks is the career pivot, the proof-of-concept, and the lightning rod all at once. Mike Flanagan — Executive producer here, and a major name in modern horror through projects like Oculus, The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep, Midnight Mass, and The Fall of the House of Usher. His connection matters because his brand is character-first horror with grief, belief, trauma, and dread — all things Shelby Oaks appears to be reaching toward. Camille Sullivan — Plays Mia, the emotional center of the film. Her job is not just to be scared; she has to sell obsession, grief, and the dangerous belief that a missing loved one might still be reachable. That makes her performance crucial to whether the movie works as more than a spooky scavenger hunt. Sarah Durn — Plays Riley, the missing sister and member of the Paranormal Paranoids. Because Riley exists partly through recordings, memory, and investigation, the role has to function almost like a ghost before the supernatural fully takes hold. Keith David — A genre legend whose presence instantly gives the movie weight. His broader career includes The Thing, They Live, Platoon, Requiem for a Dream, and extensive voice work. In a smaller horror film, he brings instant credibility and texture. Michael Beach — A reliable character actor with credits across film and television, including Aquaman, Sons of Anarchy, Third Watch, and Mayor of Kingstown. In a movie like this, actors like Beach help ground the weirdness in believable human stakes.

    Episode 173 - Normal (2026) — Perfectly Unhinged — Good Film Hunting Review

    This week we stroll into Normal, which is exactly the kind of town name that immediately tells you it is anything but... Directed by Ben Wheatley and written by Derek Kolstad, the film stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler, and Lena Headey in a small-town action comedy about a temporary sheriff whose sleepy new posting turns into a violent little snow globe full of secrets. So, is Normal worth the watch, or when you happen along this little town should you keep on driving? #GoodFilmHunting #MovieReview #FilmDiscussion #NormalMovie #Normal2026 #BenWheatley #DerekKolstad #BobOdenkirk #HenryWinkler #LenaHeadey #JessMcLeod #ActionComedy #CrimeComedy #SmallTownThriller #midnightmovie RELEASE DETAILS Title: Normal Year: 2026 U.S. theatrical release; world premiered at TIFF in 2025 Director: Ben Wheatley Writer(s): Derek Kolstad; story by Derek Kolstad and Bob Odenkirk Top-Billed Stars: Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler, Lena Headey, Jess McLeod, Billy MacLellan Running Time: 90 minutes Country of Origin: United States Official Release Date(s): World premiere: September 7, 2025 at TIFF Midnight Madness; U.S. theatrical release: April 17, 2026 via Magnolia Pictures; U.K./Ireland release: May 15, 2026. OTHER NOTABLE PROJECTS Ben Wheatley — Director Wheatley’s career is a strange little buffet of dread, violence, and genre experiments. Kill List gave him cult credibility as a filmmaker who could turn crime into folk-horror nightmare fuel. Free Fire is probably the closest cousin to Normal, because it also treats gun violence as slapstick escalation in a confined pressure cooker. High-Rise showed his taste for social collapse, while Meg 2: The Trench proved he could step into larger studio machinery without completely sanding off his weird edges. Derek Kolstad — Writer Kolstad’s big shadow here is obviously John Wick, where he helped build the modern language of sleek assassin-world action. But Normal is more directly connected to Nobody, because Bob Odenkirk’s action persona comes from that same “ordinary-looking man, extraordinary violence” lineage. The difference is that Normal bends that setup into a more communal conspiracy: less “one man’s hidden past,” more “this entire town needs a therapist and maybe federal oversight.” Bob Odenkirk — Ulysses Odenkirk’s path from Mr. Show to Breaking Bad to Better Call Saul to action lead remains one of the oddest and most delightful career pivots in modern Hollywood. Nobody made the leap believable; Normal tests whether audiences will keep buying him as a bruised, funny, reluctant action figure outside that franchise. His gift is that he never looks like he was born for violence — he looks like violence keeps interrupting his day. Henry Winkler — Mayor Kibner Winkler brings an entire lifetime of warmth into a role that benefits from audience trust. From Happy Days to Barry, his screen persona can go from comforting to unsettling without changing volume. That matters in Normal, because casting Winkler in a town-leader role immediately makes the place feel cozy — which makes the rot underneath play funnier and nastier. Lena Headey — Moira Headey’s Game of Thrones legacy gives her instant authority whenever she enters a room, but she has also built a career on characters who can make stillness feel dangerous. In Normal, that energy helps ground the town’s oddball violence in something a little sharper than pure cartoon chaos. Jess McLeod — Alex McLeod gives the film a younger counterweight to Odenkirk’s weary sheriff. Relative to the bigger names, this is the kind of supporting role that can sneak up on viewers because it starts as part of the town’s texture and gradually becomes more important to the movie’s emotional and survival mechanics.

    Episode 172 - Backrooms (2026) — Reality Has a Basement — Good Film Hunting Review

    This week we accidentally no-clip into Backrooms, the new A24 liminal nightmare from director Kane Parsons, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, and Mark Duplass. A strange doorway appears beneath a furniture showroom, and what starts as one man’s impossible discovery turns into a fluorescent-lit descent through spaces that feel like an abandoned office park mixed with a living nightmare. Is Backrooms worth the watch or do we really just want to wallpaper over this corner of our brain? #GoodFilmHunting #RegularReview #Backrooms #BackroomsMovie #KaneParsons #WillSoodik #ChiwetelEjiofor #RenateReinsve #MarkDuplass #FinnBennett #LukitaMaxwell #A24 #HorrorMovie #SciFiHorror #moviereview RELEASE DETAILS Title: Backrooms Year: 2026 Director: Kane Parsons Writer(s): Will Soodik Top-Billed Stars: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell Running Time: 105 minutes Country of Origin: United States Official Release Date(s): May 29, 2026 — theatrical release OTHER NOTABLE PROJECTS Kane Parsons — The Backrooms YouTube series This is the whole reason the film exists. Parsons’ web series gave him a recognizable horror grammar before he ever made a feature: found-footage framing, liminal spaces, analog unease, and worldbuilding that feels discovered rather than explained. Will Soodik — Westworld, The Peripheral Soodik’s background in puzzle-box sci-fi television makes sense here. Backrooms needs enough structure to sustain a movie, but not so much that the mystery gets flattened into lore homework. Chiwetel Ejiofor — 12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange, Children of Men Ejiofor brings immediate emotional gravity to a premise that could otherwise feel purely conceptual. That matters because Backrooms needs a human anchor inside a world designed to erase humanity. Renate Reinsve — The Worst Person in the World, Handling the Undead Reinsve is especially interesting casting because she excels at interiority — characters thinking, doubting, unraveling. For a therapist entering an irrational space, that restraint can be more valuable than big horror theatrics. Mark Duplass — Creep, The One I Love, The Morning Show Duplass has a long history with intimate, unsettling stories where ordinary conversation curdles into danger. His presence also matters behind the scenes because he became one of Parsons’ most vocal public defenders during the film’s release week. James Wan / Osgood Perkins / Shawn Levy — producers That producer lineup is bizarre in the best way: mainstream horror engine, arthouse dread merchant, and blockbuster storyteller. It suggests A24 knew this property needed both internet weirdness and serious production scaffolding.

    This week on Good Film Hunting, we’re cracking open Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the third Benoit Blanc case from writer-director Rian Johnson. Starring Daniel Craig back as the world’s most polite Southern detective, alongside Josh O’Connor and Glenn Close, this time Blanc steps into a darker, more faith-soaked mystery involving a small-town church, a suspicious death, and secrets buried deeper than confession.

Daniel Craig Casino Royale – Reinvented Bond Logan Lucky – Proved his comedic timing Knives Out – Introduced Benoit Blanc This role continues Craig’s post-Bond career pivot into character-driven performances. Josh O’Connor The Crown – Breakout prestige role Challengers – Modern leading-man turn Here, he brings restrained intensity that contrasts Blanc’s eccentricity.

    Episode 170 - Obsession (2026) - Love Gone Wrong - Good Film Hunting Review

    This week we make one little wish and immediately regret it in Obsession, the new supernatural horror film written and directed by Curry Barker. The film follows Michael Johnston as Bear, a lonely music store employee who uses a mysterious “One Wish Willow” to make his crush Nikki love him, only to discover that forced affection comes with a very bloody return policy. So, did Obsession cast a spell on us or do we wish for our 108 minutes back? #GoodFilmHunting #MovieReview #FilmDiscussion #ObsessionMovie #Obsession2026 #CurryBarker #MichaelJohnston #IndeNavarrette #CooperTomlinson #MeganLawless #AndyRichter #HorrorMovie #SupernaturalHorror #Blumhouse #focusfeatures Release DetailsTitle: Obsession Year: 2026 theatrical release; premiered in 2025 Director: Curry Barker Writer: Curry Barker Top Billed Stars: Michael Johnston, Inde Navarrette, Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, Andy Richter Running Time: Approximately 1 hour 48 minutes Country of Origin: United States Official Release Date(s): Premiered at TIFF Midnight Madness on September 5, 2025; released in U.S. theaters on May 15, 2026 Distributor: Focus Features in the U.S.; Universal Pictures internationally Other Notable ProjectsCurry Barker — Barker is best known for online horror/comedy work, especially Milk & Serial, which became a calling card for his jump into larger-scale horror. He has also been tied to upcoming genre work, including Anything But Ghosts and development around a new Texas Chain Saw Massacre project, making Obsession feel less like a one-off and more like the arrival of a filmmaker studios are actively betting on. Michael Johnston — Johnston’s earlier notable work includes playing Corey Bryant on MTV’s Teen Wolf and starring in the indie film Slash. That makes Bear an interesting pivot: he is not playing a clean-cut romantic lead so much as a hollowed-out version of one, where charm and insecurity curdle into horror. Inde Navarrette — Navarrette is known to many viewers from Superman & Lois, but Obsession gives her a much more extreme showcase. This is the kind of genre role that can redefine an actor fast, because she is not just reacting to horror; she becomes the film’s emotional and physical storm system. Andy Richter — Richter is best known for comedy, especially his long association with Conan O’Brien and voice work such as the Madagascar films. His presence is worth noting because Obsession reportedly mixes discomfort with moments of dark humor, and casting a recognizable comic figure can subtly tilt the audience’s expectations before the horror tightens.

    Episode 169 - Interstellar (2014) - Love Beyond Time? - Good Film Hunting Review

    This week we travel back to 2014 with Interstellar, Christopher Nolan’s cosmic gut-punch starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain. Set in a dying future where Earth is running out of food and time, former pilot Cooper joins a desperate mission through a wormhole in search of humanity’s next home. But does Interstellar truly launch into greatness, or did we find ourselves lost in space? #GoodFilmHunting #RegularReview #Interstellar #ChristopherNolan #JonathanNolan #MatthewMcConaughey #AnneHathaway #JessicaChastain #MichaelCaine #HansZimmer #SciFiFilm #SpaceMovie #MovieReview #FilmDiscussion #2010sMovies Release DetailsTitle: Interstellar Year: 2014 Director: Christopher Nolan Writer(s): Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan Top Billed Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Matt Damon Running Time: 2h 49m / 169 minutes Country of Origin: United States, United Kingdom Official Release Date(s): U.S. theatrical rollout began November 5, 2014, with wide theatrical release dated November 7, 2014; U.K. release was November 7, 2014. Rotten Tomatoes currently lists the wide theatrical release as November 7, 2014. Other Notable ProjectsChristopher Nolan: Memento, The Dark Knight, Inception, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer. Interstellar sits in a fascinating middle zone of Nolan’s career: less crime-clockwork than Memento, less pure puzzle-box than Inception, and more emotionally naked than a lot of his filmography. Jonathan Nolan: The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and later co-creating Westworld and Fallout. His fingerprints help explain why Interstellar has both high-concept mechanics and a strong current of existential dread. Matthew McConaughey: Dallas Buyers Club, Mud, True Detective. This was right in the middle of the “McConaissance,” and the movie leans heavily on his ability to make cosmic scale feel personal. Anne Hathaway: The Devil Wears Prada, Les Misérables, The Dark Knight Rises. Her role here is key because she has to sell both the intellectual and emotional arguments of the film without making either feel silly. Jessica Chastain: Zero Dark Thirty, The Help, later The Martian and The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Her work gives the Earthbound half of the story a lot of its urgency and heartbreak. Michael Caine: The Dark Knight Trilogy, The Cider House Rules, Children of Men. By this point he had become one of Nolan’s secret weapons: the guy who can turn exposition into gravitas.
