    118. Suspiria (2018)

    118. Suspiria (2018)

    We knew after watching the original Suspiria from 1977 that we would have to cover the remake at some point, well that point came sooner than expected. Suspiria (2018) follows the general idea of the original but finds ways to deepen the plot and characters in new and interesting ways. Both films are spectacular, but could they possibly both be essential? Find out today!

    117. Pearl (2023)

    117. Pearl (2023)

    Pearl is the follow up to TI West's excellent film X. Telling the story of how Pearl became the deranged person we see in X. TI has an excellent eye for taking a specific style of film and executing on it masterfully. This film immediately shows its hand as an homage to classic films of the early 20's. Mia Goth manages to act her heart out throughout the film, and this is all to say we loved this movie. I'm not going to bury the lead further please give this film a watch. However, regardless of how much we did enjoy it, does this mean we also said it is essential? Listen in to find out!

    115. House of the Witch Doctor (2013)

    115. House of the Witch Doctor (2013)

    We often use other movies as comparison points when thinking through if a movie is Essential or not. Same thing also can apply when we are looking to score a movie. House of the Witch Doctor might be the single greatest comparison point we could have ever asked for. If a movie is worse than this, it is truly the most pitiful thing on the planet. Is it essential?

    114. Demon Hole (2017)

    114. Demon Hole (2017)

    There are times on this show where we have the pleasure of watching movies that truly surprise us. Demon Hole is almost one of those. This film is largely bad, but it is bad in a way that is quite enjoyable. Plot holes galore, awful effects, some of the most stilted dialogue you could imagine, however it has a certain charm to it. Is it essential?

    113. Terrifier (2016)

    113. Terrifier (2016)

    Terrifier brought Art the Clown into the popular culture of horror and we are better for it. This movie has one particular scene it is known for, however there are so many more moments this movie should be better known for. In general this film is a masterpiece of makeup and effects, but it is also just hilarious. Please do yourself a favor and watch Terrifier!
