All in Horror
This week, we watch the Palme d’Or winner at this years Cannes Film Festival. Nothing we say in a write up will prepare you for what you will see/experience in this movie. If you aren’t totally adverse to gore or weirdness, do yourself a favorite and watch this film. Titane (2021), directed by Julia Ducournau.
This week, we watch the film that won the Golden Globes for Best Drama, and is the front runner for the Best Picture at the Oscars as well. We recommend going into this movie totally blind, as spoilers might ruin the experience for many. The Power Of The Dog (2021), directed by Jane Campion.
We’re finishing off our October horror movie fest with a film that fits more into the genre of classic horror. Although this film might have basement and nighttime scares, the psychological elements of grief give this film an edge that makes it rise to the top of the genre as an instant classic. Plus, there is a scary as hell pop-up book that you wont forget. The Babadook (2014), directed by Jennifer Kent.
We are continuing with our October horror movies! This week we watch Sam Rami's remake that's also a sequel: Evil Dead 2. Easily one of the best horror comedies out there (not that there's many, but still). The Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn, Directed by Sam Rami.
Its October. You know what that means - horror movie season! This week, we watch Quentin Tarantino’s Favorite Film. Influencing the Hunger Games as well as Fortnite, Warzone, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, this movie shows 42 students fighting for survival. Battle Royale (2000), directed by Kinji Fukasaku.
This week, we continue watching what might be the greatest horror movie ever made. Stanley Kubrick butchers Stephen King's original novel into a film that confused some viewers at the time of its release, but now is considered by most to be a standalone masterpiece. The Shining (1980), directed by Stanley Kubrick.

This week, we watch the first film in the Three Flavors Cornetto trilogy and the international smash hit that instantly put Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg on the map. In one hand you have all the zombie tropes you’ve ever seen, and in the other hand you have the best British comedy of the era . Smash your hands together? Shaun of the Dead (2004), directed by Edgar Wright.
PART 2!
This week, we watch possibly the best ensemble cast ever to be put to film. Drama, suspense, comedy, horror…what can’t you say about a classic like this? We all watched it for the first time, and we couldn’t recommend it enough to war movie fans. Das Boot (1981), directed by Wolfgang Petersen.

This week, we watch what many consider to be the best Anime of all time. Masterfully animated and ultra-violent, this film remains unmatched in its detail, style and scope. The influence on other animated films as well as live action films of this genre cannot be understated. Akira (1988), directed by Katsuhiro Otomo.
This week, watch the controversial masterpiece by Stanley Kubrick. This film has been banned in many places since its release, and wasn’t able to be purchased in England until the year of Kubrick’s death. To this day, it hasn’t lost an ounce of its impact. Lock the living room door so the kids don’t accidentally wander in. A Clockwork Orange (1971), directed by Stanley Kubrick.
27 years later and Pennywise is back. The second and final act of the It series, this film casts some legitimate movie stars as the older versions of the kids from Chapter 1, and is also tasked with bringing this epic tale to a close - An ending that the readers of the book (as well as characters in this movie) will tell you isn’t very good. The question people will be talking about for years to come is: does this movie close the It saga better than Stephen King’s own words did? It: Chapter 2 (2019), directed by Andy Muschietti.
Fall is here, the season for Halloween and all things horror! We are de-railing from the list once again to prepare for the upcoming It: Chapter 2. We watch the first film this week, which focuses on the younger character story, and brings to screen the same kind of childhood adventure that the film adaptation of Stand By Me captured decades ago, only this time with a murdering clown named Pennywise. It (2017), directed by Andy Muschietti.
This week, we watch the dark fantasy film where a young girl discovers another reality, helping her temporarily escape the horrible world she lives in. With amazing practical effects and makeup, this ultra-violent tale uses film to tell a story in a way no other medium could. Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), directed by Guillermo del Toro.
This week, we watch the movie that scared the crap out of 1999; the film that you've accidentally spoiled at least once; the picture that, up until last year, was the highest grossing horror movie of all time. The Sixth Sense (1999), directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
This week, we watch the hard to find Russian classic that has influenced movies such as Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, and Inglorious Bastards. Real artillery, bombs, animal deaths, and human emotions are put fourth on screen to create something horrifying and unlike anything else we've seen. Come and See (1985), directed by Elem Klimov.
This week, we watch a dog turn into a spider, a head turn into a spider, a chest turn into a mouth, and a hole bunch of aliens set fire in the snow. This classic sci-fi horror keeps us guessing as to who we can trust, and who is going to die next. One thing is for sure, Kurt Russell's hair is glorious. The Thing (1982), directed By John Carpenter.
