    Resident Evil (2026) Horror Review

    Welcome back to the Couch of the Dead! This week, Vanessa and Matt are diving into Resident Evil (2026) for a full horror movie review! The newest Resident Evil movie takes the iconic video game franchise in a different direction, delivering a survival horror experience that feels less like a traditional video game adaptation and more like stepping directly into a survival horror game. But does that approach actually work? We’re talking about the movie’s horror, gore, humor, pacing, video-game-inspired moments, creatures, action, performances, and the overall direction from Zack Cregger. We also discuss Austin Abrams as the movie’s lead and whether this new Resident Evil brings something fresh to the franchise while still feeling connected to its video game roots. And, of course, we’ve got plenty of our usual arguing, questionable observations, horror-movie logic, and laughs along the way. 🎮 PLUS: Stick around for this week’s game! We put our Resident Evil discussion to the test with survival horror video game movie trivia featuring Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Doom, and other video game horror adaptations.

    Buddy (2026) Horror Movie Review

    This week on the Couch of the Dead, we're talking about one of the strangest and most unexpectedly entertaining horror movies of 2026: Buddy! Vanessa and Matt were so intrigued by the buzz surrounding this limited theatrical release that they went to see it TWICE, and now they're breaking down everything they loved, hated, laughed at, and couldn't stop thinking about. Buddy takes the innocent world of children's television and turns it into a dark, violent, surreal horror comedy filled with nostalgia, creepy talking objects, gruesome kills, and one seriously disturbing orange unicorn. We start with a spoiler-free conversation about why Buddy works, its nostalgic 90s children's-TV aesthetic, and why this bizarre movie completely won us over. Then we dive into FULL SPOILERS, discussing the characters, Buddy's increasingly terrifying behavior, the Buddy universe, our favorite kills, the meaning behind the story, and that absolutely wild ending. And, of course, we have plenty of questions. Is Buddy's world an alternate dimension? What exactly happened to the children? What is the connection between television and this strange universe? And could we eventually see a Buddy sequel or prequel? We're also chatting about our upcoming trip to New Jersey Horror Con and meeting horror icon Barbara Crampton! ⚠️ SPOILERS AHEAD: This episode contains major spoilers for Buddy (2026), including the ending.

    INSIDIOUS: OUT OF THE FURTHER (2026) Movie Review

    The doors to The Further are open again… but should they have stayed closed? This week on the Couch of the Dead, we're reviewing Insidious: Out of the Further, the sixth installment in the popular Insidious horror franchise. We talk about the movie's central concept, the characters, the connection to the previous Insidious films, and whether this latest chapter brings anything new to the franchise. While we found the premise interesting and the movie entertaining at times, we had plenty of problems with the execution, especially the reliance on nostalgia, callbacks, familiar horror tropes, and a disappointing lack of genuine scares. Then we head straight into spoiler territory and break down the story, characters, demons, The Further, and some of the movie's biggest WTF moments. Finally, we put the movie through the Couch of the Dead scoring system and reveal our official ratings. And because apparently we haven't suffered enough, we finish the episode with an Insidious trivia challenge testing our knowledge of the entire franchise. So grab your favorite drink, get comfortable on the couch, and join us for another horror movie discussion! 💀 Couch of the Dead - - Where horror movies come to die. Warning: This episode contains major spoilers for Insidious: Out of the Further and previous Insidious films. #Insidious #InsidiousOutOfTheFurther #HorrorPodcast #HorrorMovies #InsidiousReview #HorrorMovieReview
