Did you know that the infamous 1978 exploitation film I Spit on Your Grave was remade in 2010? Not only was it remade, but there were two sequels to the remake as well as an official sequel to the original where Camille Keaton reprises her role as Jennifer Hills? Mike S and Mike H take a look at the divisive, uncomfortable films with a focus on the 2010 remake. Are these films valid commentary, sleazy exploitation, or a little bit of both? You decide!

This is part 2 of our guest co-host series.  Welcome Rennie Resmini, friend of the show, vocalist of the legendary Starkweather and movie afficionado.

Thursday Aug 13, 2020

It seems like Lovecraft is popular again. Not only do we have straight up adaptations of his work like Colour Out of Space, but his creepy hand has reached far beyond and his influence can be seen in some new movies.  Beach House, which is currently running exclusively on Shudder, is one such film.  Check out our analysis of this atmospheric horror film that gives a glimpse into cosmic horror.
Intro:     "Wires" - Dead and Gone
Outro:    "Barmecide Room" - Green Magnet School
