    Episode 228 – Obsession (2026)

    Curry Barker definitely has an eye and a feel for scares, but Nikki’s characterization is all over the place, even though Inde Navarrette is giving it her all. And it wouldn’t hurt if the movie wasn’t 68% screams by volume.

    Episode 227 – Hokum

    While not his scariest outing, Hokum is probably Damian McCarthy’s most thoroughly enjoyable film, with whodunit, witchcraft, and puzzle-solving elements all hanging together in a most satisfying fashion.

    Episode 226 – Lee Cronin’s The Mummy

    Almost nothing about this film works, and certainly not any of the scares. Visually irritating, with obnoxious Foley work, it also tries to turn a Mummy movie into an Evil Dead movie – except it doesn’t even get that right!

    Episode 225 – Undertone

    Despite a few half-baked ideas, and stretches of this audio-driven film feeling like they’d be better as a podcast, the end result is still pretty strong. Jim, in particular, found that the last 15 minutes really jangled his nerves.

    Episode 224 – Scream 7

    Kevin Williamson’s return as screenwriter, coupled with his first turn in the director’s chair, manages to produce a self-reverential, masturbatory mess. Scream is the rare horror franchise where each entry, without fail, is worse than the last.

    Episode 223.5 – Iron Lung

    In this abbreviated bonus episode, Matt and Jim discuss Markiplier’s surprise hit. While Jim enjoyed it rather less than his co-host, they both think Mr. Fischbach might have a future as a director. That said, the film does have fairly serious pacing issues, and certain elements remain underdeveloped.

    Episode 223 – The Strangers: Chapter 3

    With a mind-numbing, wishy-washy finale that seems perpetually at war with itself, this ill-advised Strangers trilogy finally grinds to a close. Lore-brained to a fault, the filmmakers completely fail to understand what made the original film work: The Strangers had no backstory, and no motive.

    Episode 222 – Send Help

    It’s not quite prime Raimi, but with both Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien in top form, it’s nice to have the old splatterhound back in action.
