Show notes

Crazy As Hell (2002) - "My name is Satan."

When an ego driven doctor agrees to participate in a documentary where he is under constant surveillance 24/7 for 30 days and promises to cure the patients, not with medication, but with "reconstructive societal adjustment", he didn't wager he'd be up against a patient who claims to be Satan. Is he insane or who he truly claims to be? All bets are off, and all souls up for grabs in this fun flick! Directed by and Starring 90's heart throb Eriq La Salle!

Show notes

Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (2014) - "I'm addicted to blood"
Spike Lee's 2014 film Da Sweet Blood of Jesus is a remake of the 1973 film Ganja & Hess and updates the story to modern day. When an reserved, rich, gorgeous anthropologist meets a bold, brave, gorgeous gold digger who is willing to overlook a lot for her money, the sparks fly in this unusual take on the vampire genre.

Eyes Without A Face - "Human guinea pig." Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

Eyes Without A Face (1960) - "Human guinea pig."
If you haven't seen the 1960 black and white amazingness that is Eyes Without A Face, get on it right away! An incredibly stark and beautiful film with one of the goriest scenes we've ever seen in that time period - we were shocked and delighted! An unconventional story with a very original look and feel, this film is truly unique.

The Void - "No, you're going to die" Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

The Void (2016) - "No, you're going to die"

2016's The Void teams up an unlikely rag tag bunch of small town folks and traps them in a half shut down hospital, up against ominous white robed figures, unhinged outsiders and, oh, maybe a Lovecraftian monster or two. You'll recognize the influences, but this film turns them into something entirely new and fun.

Frozen - "Bond as a threesome" Jun 15, 2020

Show notes

Adam Green's 2010 film FROZEN (not to be confused with the Disney flick) is a hardcore, not for the weak intense ride. When three friends get stuck on a ski lift, they must push themselves to the limit in order to try and survive. If you haven't seen this film, we highly recommend it. So well done.

The Rage: Carrie 2 - "Sex and Suicide" Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999) - "Sex and Suicide"

This 1999 film is the sequel to Carrie and even has Sue Snell as a bridge character between the two films, but definitely pales in comparison to Brian De Palma's dynamite 1976 film. Rachel is misunderstood at home and at school, and when a serious of catastrophic events happen to her, her raw unleashed power comes to the surface at last! (Sounds familiar?) Worth a watch only if you're a completist.

Cat People - "I love loneliness" Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Cat People (1942) - "I love loneliness"
Jacques Toueneur's 1942 film is a starkly beautiful film full of crisp black and white shadows. When a man falls in love with a woman who believes she is from a cursed village, he must decide whether she is supernatural or super crazy. A beautifully made film with a sensuous lead performance by Simone Simon.

The Crazies - "The army ain't nobodies friend, man." May 25, 2020

Show notes

The Crazies (1973) - "The army ain't nobodies friend, man."
George A. Romero is a filmmaker who was perpetually ahead of this time, and never has there been a more appropriate time to watch The Crazies than right now. A small town is forcibly put under quarantine by the army when a virus spreads that turns its victims insane. Chilling, brilliant and eerily prescient, this is one of Romero's unsung films! So good!
