    HLP E47: Saw (2004)

    Join Will and Chris--and special guest, Johnny Woo--as they dissect what has become a horror classic, Saw. A fast-paced, gritty slasher, this one spawned 9 sequels.

    HLP E46: Se7en (1995)

    Join Will and Chris in The Horror Lab as they dissect one of the best horror-type movies of all-time, Se7en. A gritty crime-thriller with horror (and horrifying) elements, this one sticks with you long after the credits roll. And, it just recently moved into hallowed ground--the #1 horror movie of all-time (according to Will). Join them as they explore themes, discuss the nihilistic nature of the film, and consider whether Ernest Hemingway was right--is the world both beautiful and worth fighting for?
