Horror Explorers

Newt Calkins

A podcast wherein I (and sometimes a guest) discuss a horror movie that I/we haven't seen until the day the podcast is recorded. The reactions are intended to be fresh, the discussion intelligent but not over-thought.

    Episode 58 - Cherry Tree

    From the writer and director team behind pretty decent Hammer flick Wake Wood comes... well, not that good a follow up. Too many ideas, not enough film, essentially. Continuing the "pastoral" schtick from Ben Wheatley's ouvre but sans Wheatley cuz I need a break from that guy.

    Episode 57 - Sightseers

    The triumphant (???) return of Horror Explorers continues the Ben Wheatley exploration with "Romantic Murder Comedy" Sightseers. Unsurprisingly, I'm both entertained and annoyed. Seems like Wheatle's M.O. with me...

    Episode 56 - Body (Christmas Episode!)

    Body takes place on Christmas Eve. It doesn't seem particularly holiday-related but whatever. Your reliably grumpy and seemingly impossible to please host is unsurprisingly frustrated by this indie thriller that owes much of its plot to Very Bad Things. I only wish it was half as funny. Or well written. One of these days I'll have another unqualified recommendation, I promise! (uncertain shifty eyes)

    Episode 55 - A Field in England

    The Ben Wheatley investigation continues. I thought I would like this one more than Kill List because of the pastoral/period horror nature of the story. Nope. Greatly mixed feelings lead to a bit of a longish, rambling episode.

    Episode 54 - The Love Witch

    Huh? What? But why? And more burning questions about wtf I just watched. (By "just watched" of course I mean "watched two weeks ago and didn't upload the episode until now because I'm a jackass")

    Episode 53 - Kill List

    After much resistance to hop aboard a bandwagon, I gave nu-horror wunderkind director Ben Wheatley a shot and was pleasantly surprised! Not a bad first (as far as I know) effort! A little uneven but impressive. I look forward to diving into his other work for the podcast!

    Episode 52 - Blood on Satan's Claws

    A groovy 1970s pastoral cult horror flick that doesn't *quite* work due to some interesting backstory on the development of the movie. Available (strangely) on Youtube.

    Episode 51 - Let Us Prey

    Hey, it's Ser Davos Seaworth! In a Celtic police station horror flick! This one is a really interesting small-budget philosophy/theology thinker. Solid stuff! (Not without its share of ultraviolence, of course...)
