Unsettling Mannequins & Blah Monsters: Oddity and Desert Monster 43:46

Some people keep promises. Some people watch good movies. I did neither this week and let my intrusive thoughts convince me to watch Desert Monster (China, 2022) on Hi-Yah, a self-important monster flick that tries to deny it's B-movie bonnafides. Thankfully, Grady watched a good movie, Oddity (Ireland, 2024) on Shudder, a chilling blend of creepy house and Jewish folklore. We mourn the impromptu passing of Melissa, who was abducted and devoured by flying meatballs. Also, was Little Nicky a good movie or a great movie?…

There are shark movies and there are shark movies. Ninja vs Shark (Japan, 2023) is definitely the former - a bonkers Power Rangers-y shark flick that gets derailed by tone deaf plotlines and an irredeemable protagonist. Also, two folk horror flicks drop this week: the somber Starve Acre (United Kingdom, 2024) on Shudder and the part-Japanese, part-found footage Bloat (France, United States & Japan, 2025) on VOD and limited theaters.…

Do you prefer your cave monsters heavy and scary, or wildly ridiculous? Do you like happy birthdays, or celebrations with weird dialogue and flat jokes? Do you like playing with puppets? We ask the real questions this week as we go spelunking with The Cave (Germany, Australia & USA, 2005) on VOD, wonder if some "cult" films should stay forgotten with The Birthday (Spain, 2004) on Shudder and have weird fun with short films Stuffed and Meat Puppet on YouTube and Short of the Week.…

How do you judge a monster movie? If it's all about the practical effects, then The Tank (New Zealand, 2023) should slither into your eyeballs. If you want a creature feature with a sense of humor, though, head into the outback with Carnifex (Australia, 2022). Both are on Tubi. Also, a record-breaking Thai flick inspired by The Evil Dead hits Netflix and a vampire movie with the most on-the-nose title in history hits Shudder.…

Does evil come from within us, or from family vacations to weird islands? What about weird sci-fi tunnels that close randomly? This week, we get gothic as all get out with Nosferatu (USA, United Kingdom & Hungary, 2024) and try to keep from spoiling Get Away (United Kingdom, 2024), Nick Frost's latest quotable horror comedy. Also, Marcus gets creeped the hell out by the short film Tunnelen (Norway, 2016, AKA The Tunnel) which Grady and Melissa manage to shrug off.…

Every vampire movie feels familiar for a reason. This week, we dive into the OG horror flick - the century-old Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (Germany, 1922), a film that's easier to appreciate and admire than enjoy. Plus, we also flag "elder millennial" references in the short film Last Orders (United Kingdom, 2021) on Shortverse, chat about Florence Stoker and Joseph Campbell, and Marcus and Melissa make huge historical errors. One of them is funny; the other came from misremembering Queer for Fear on Shudder, a great documentary mini-series that I should rewatch before misquoting.…

We take a slow walk in the woods with In A Violent Nature (Canada, 2024) on Shudder, get vengeful - maybe? maybe not? - with Play. Pause. Kill. (France, 2020) on Shortverse and get trapped in an absurdist Terry Gilliam-ish nightmare with La Cabina (Spain, 1972) on YouTube.

Why is it always rainy after the end of the world? If a serial killer is incompetent, does that make him more or less scary? Why was Wer so meh? Discover the answers to these questions - and more! - as we chat about Into the Abyss (Argentina, 2022), a SciFi noire horror somewhere between Blade Runner and 28 Days Later, and Angst (Austria, 1983), a true crime-inspired story of brutal murder. Also, Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color (Japan, 2023) might be a gimmick but its a magnificent gimmick, one of the protagonists from Wer (Romania & USA, 2013) gives Jar Jar Binks a run for his money, and we mourn the absence and passing of co-host Melissa, who was comically murdered by Lucifer herself.

Why were Sister Death and Project Wolf Hunting snubbed, and why is When Evil Lurks nominated for best wide release and best international movie? Pick a lane, Fangoria! Also, love you Nick Cage, but Longlegs (Canada & USA, 2024) is not a modern Silence of the Lambs. a bit overyped. We cut through the hype. Also, we revisit The First Omen and unpack trippy scifi arcs and unfortunate creature design in Joko Anwar's Nightmares and Daydreams (Indonesia, 2024).

Grady watches Howl From Beyond The Fog (Japan, 2021), a fantastic practical effects kaiju flick with behind-the-scenes footage and a mischevious cat. Marcus watched Brazilian B-movie Cemetery of Lost Souls (2020) solo - big mistake, it needs a distracted crowd - and celebrated the campy alien action vibes of The Lair (UK, 2022). Also, Melissa just got back from a vacation that was very Colorado and Marcus' toddler relives the last scene of your favorite found footage movie.

Sharks are our friends! We should swim with them! Join us as we dive into the chummy waters of the Seine for the "platonic ideal" of so-bad-it's-good shark flicks, Under Paris (France, 2024). Then, watch the sincere but flawed folk horror Black Forest (Brazil, 2018), but if you jump ahead to the 1:18.20 mark, you'll be treated to the finest wild, cheesy, and splattery B-grade goodness that Tubi has to offer. Also, Marcus gets thoroughly creeped out by Stopmotion (United Kingdom, 2023) and a very Tales from the Crypt-y anthology series from Indonesia hits Netflix. (Sidebar: Shark attacks are pretty rare and most of the time you can safely swim with many of them, Shark Week is coming up soon ... but we're not about to let that get in the way of fine cinema.)…

What's scarier: Creatures from the uncanny valley crawling up to do horrifying things that shouldn't be possible for stop motion animation, or generations of serial killers stalking and scalping their victims? If you answered stop motion, you're right - that's undeniably freakier - but both options are totally worth watching. This week, Grady and Melissa are thoroughly chilled by Stopmotion (United Kingdom, 2023) and Marcus popped some popcorn for thirty years of creepy Danish slashers with Nightwatch (1994) and Nightwatch: Demons are Forever (2023). Plus - inky body horror and a Tubi surprise are dropping this week, and technical difficulties reawaken the AI-generated "Funk Bot" in the last seven-ish minutes.

Grady unpacks Spiral (Japan, 1998), which begins as an also-ran sequel to Ring and descends into weird softcore porn. Marcus struggles with math in Spiral (Canada, 2019), a queer horror with a clever ending but a frustrating and unlikeable protagonist. Melissa is baffled by the upcoming American remake of Speak No Evil (Denmark & The Netherlands, 2022). Can she look at James McAvoy the same way ever again? Plus - The First Omen is the more satisfying Coke to Immaculate's Pepsi, a spinoff of the manga Parasyte hits Netflix and Late Night with the Devil finally hits Shudder.

Is it a slow burn if every character is unlikeable? This week, we're pining for the fjords as we trek to Norway for Sacrifice (United Kingdom, 2020), an underwhelming Lovecrafty horror with too much angst and too few tentacles. We also watch a graphic betentacled affair between an alien and the protagonist of The Untamed (Mexico & others, 2016) and look forward to chilling goats and benthic arachnids as When Evil Lurks (Argentina & USA, 2023) and Mad Spider Sea (Taiwan, 2020) drop on streaming this week.…

Do you have big feelings about divorce and tentacles? Have you ever writhed in agony on the floor of a subway? If so, Possession (France and West Germany, 1981) is the cult horror classic for you! We thought it was overrated, to be honest. Also, Chinese crocodiles Eastern European kidnappers and Japanese slashers are all dropping this week, plus a cursed ring tries to Final Destination Melissa's cat.…

It's your last week as chief of police and a gnarly body floats down the river in a canoe. Better head into the hinterlands with your ex-girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend and check it out - there might be cosmic body horror afoot. This week, we trek into the Great White North with The Breach (Canada, 2022), the best horror film to ever be scored and produced by Slash. Also, Melissa dives into international short films on the Alter Horror channel on YouTube and Tubi and we discuss Mongolia's first horror flick.…

Welcome to Cthuluween! We're celebrating the most wonderful time of the year with a month-long series of cosmic tentacles. First up is Dagon (Spain, 2001), a fun low-budger romp with fish people and a horny water god. You'll never guess what HP Lovecraft story it's based on. We also review Blood Glacier (Austria, 2013), a Thing adaptation that peaks with the Asylum-y line, "Stop eating that banana while you're crying!" before nose-diving with a super uncomfortable pet death scene and odd choices. Also, British werewolves, Thai monsters and a slasher wearing a lamb costume are all dropping this week, plus the triumphant return of the Funk Bot.…

Horror doesn't just happen. It takes devoted special effects artists and a quirky sense of humor. This week, we head south of the border to answer the question, "What if Portlandia, but horror?" with Los Espookys (Mexico & The United States, 2018-2022), an offbeat NBC-ish horror comedy about making spooky happen. We also review Folklore, a pan-Asian anthology series, get distracted by The Perfect Host and No One Will Save You, and look forward to dream and classic gateway horrors dropping this week.…

Do you hate your job? Would a zombie apocalypse feel like a vacation? Do you giant love sharks and sexy flight attendants? If so - Zom 100 (Japan, 2023) is going to make your week. We break down differences between the original manga, the anime series that's releasing week-to-week on several platforms and the live action Netflix movie. If you've got time for it, the anime was our favorite. Also - Melissa defends her favorite sing songy penguin body horror short film, Grady gets disturbed by the "Funk Bot," Marcus shares a weird dream and everybody gets excited for Islamic and Jewish folk horror dropping this week on Shudder.…
