Transcript

Crete's whore podcast. I'm your host calling in from I'm your host Greg Amortis. Calling in from North Carolina. All you northerners, good God, this head cold's got me in delirium, I'm telling you. But you're listening to episode 413. We're super excited to be back.

I'm still battling this little head cold I've had for like two weeks, so I will sound a little nasally or stuffy. I'm sorry, but my beautiful, wonderful vocal cords will be back hopefully soon, so then you'll hear that sweet tone of what? Yep, it's there. It's still there. I love it. So that's it. Tonight, we're going to be talking survival horror with a caveat of the fact that we're saving it for 2020 to 2020.

or 2025 minus one reviewer. Because we broke our rules tonight. We'll get into that. I'm the one who broke them. I don't know why I thought I was adhering to them, but only by one year. by one. This is so funny. So we are doing 2020 horror to 2025 minus Dave, who slipped up and got a 2019 movie in there. And I did not even know it until we got ready to record. And I'm pulling up the show notes. And I'm like...

Oh, shit, that's 2019. I went on IMDb. Maybe it didn't release until 2020. Nope, it's 2019, but it's all good. It's okay. I watched it tonight. I looked it up, and I was like, okay, good. I'm ready to go. And then I look at the notes that Pearl has sent for the show, and it says, Has to be between 2020 and 2025. I screwed that one up. But that's okay because that's how we roll here at LOTC. So welcome to the show. We're very strict adherers to rules. That's right. Yes, we are. Until we're not.

He's only four months shy because it was released in August. There you go. Close enough. Okay. Well, that must have been what I was thinking. That's right. So we are excited. So let's welcome in the crew. You've already heard them, but let's go ahead and welcome in tonight. We got from outside of Philadelphia, PA.

other than dvd infatuation uh we got oh my god considering cinema's weekly watch list which is freaking phenomenal uh love that show and many other stuff it's encyclopedia of knowledge himself dave dr shop becker what's up dave Not much, Greg. Good to be here. Thank you for letting me break the rules. I appreciate that. Although, like I said, none of us knew. Basically, we both found out like 10 minutes before we're recording. So what the hell am I going to do? I'm kind of stuck here. But yeah.

Yeah, this is going to be interesting. And then especially when we get into sort of like what constitutes survival horror, because it seems to really have a wide net. cast, though we'd like to hold a bunch of different sub genres could could be categorized as survival horror.

Absolutely. And we'll try to get into some of that here for sure. And we got some of you listeners that called in as well. And I can't wait to hear from you guys and gals and what you warrant as survival horror as well. So we'll get into that.

welcome dave and let's head out to canada now where it's breezy and chilly uh like usual it's none other than the the butcher of butchery is bill the butcher van bagel what's up bill hey yeah it is pretty windy here as i was telling the boys before we've had things whip across our field we've had national

Weather alerts for the wind and that's on top of snow and rain and sleep and whatever shit God gives us that we've got it So but i'm really looking forward to today because survival horror is right up my jam Right up my alley. I love this kind of horror. But I mean, it's funny when we get into it. Isn't almost half, at least, horror movies some form of survival horror?

We can get into all of that. There's so many permutations and things. The stipulation being it should be from the last four years. But no, this is going to be great. And it gave me a chance to rewatch Ready or Not. i'm i'm not complaining in one least bit so let's get the party started

Let's do it. And, Bill, when you see Toto come flying through there, look up to the sky and know that there's a witch on a broom coming your way. I was going to say, why when you said that did I start thinking about Africa? I don't know. Why? Toto sings out. Yes, there you go. Or Rosanna. Rosanna. Did you know that song was about Rosanna Arquette? Really? I did not. Were they dating? Yeah, that was about Rosanna Arquette, that song. Wow.

I think one of the guys either had a crush on her or was dating. I can't remember exactly. Evidently. But I'm going to go ahead and tell you, if you want to listen to Africa, forget Toto. Maybe she's there for the recording. That may be. That could have been it, too. Forget Toto. Listen to Weezer's version of Africa. It's great. Anyways, we'll move on from there. And Billy, what's... yeah what i keep thinking of that uh oh never mind i died the moment's gone

Oh, the moments here. I just saw Farrah Fawcett pop up right in front of me on the screen here. Pearl's watching Saturday Night Fever, and evidently there's a poster of Farrah Fawcett, the infamous poster. I just saw her face. Oh, that one, yeah. All us guys had that poster somewhere. So let's welcome in the Twisted Temptress herself, the love of my life, Pearl, as she's watching John Travolta walk around in his little bikini underwear there. What's up? What's up Pearl?

Yes, I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to have to get her to focus. She's focusing on the wrong package tonight. We've got to get it right here. Oh, his package is in front of my face right now, Lana. L-O-T-C love right here. Right here. No, hi, everybody. I know. I am distracted. I am excited. I'm happy. I got my rocky road.

Charleston shoes are gone. Yeah, you did. Yeah, I know. Sorry. I'm just ready to go, okay? All right. We got you. So we're super excited. We're going to be doing, once again, four movie reviews tonight. And then we'll get to you, the callers, and we'll do some stuff in between there, I'm sure. But without further ado, we've got to do our shots, as we always do before each episode. If you're new to the show, we always do our shots to get the episode started.

I've got my LOTC forehead shot glass full of this. As I already put it up, I'll put it right. Okay, it is the old smoky Gatlinburg, Tennessee, salty caramel. Once again, from Karen Wagner. Thank you, Karen.

Once Jim Beam and Honey makes it back to my household, we'll go back to Jim Beam and Honey. But until then, we're on this. So thank you, Karen. So that's what I'm drinking on. Dave, what you got? I have Jamaican Me Crazy coffee, but this is the one that Kyle Bishop had sent me. I'm giving this a try.

oh nice is it different that's what i'm going to find out okay okay i'm not i'm not it's from a different company so it's probably probably is going to be a little bit different yeah okay all right well cool how long have you had it cooling off

Oh, I brewed this about an hour and a half ago, and I had the lid off for about 40 minutes, and that's the only way it'll get to a point that it's not going to scold me. There you go. Take a sip. There you go. All right, Bill, what you drinking on tonight, buddy? I have some squirty juice from Kyle Bishop, some lemon-lime squirty juice mixed up with some watermelon rock star and a little bit of rock and roll. So let's get her going. Nice. All right, Pearl, what you got?

I have my Dr. Pepper strawberry and cream soda. Ooh, with a little bit of water. Water, yeah. Water to water it down with. Wally World water. You got to chase that Dr. Pepper strawberry with a little bit of water. No, I have no intention of doing that. No watering down that pepper, I'll tell you that. All right, let's get this thing started. I got a Werther's Ridge.

in the mouth, so this is going to be really caramel. All right, we'll count it down. Three, two, one. Chug. It's pretty good. I like this. Smooth? It is a little different. Really? It is a little different, but it's good. Nice. There you go, Kyle. You just got to send it to him every how often when you go through that, you think? How long will it take you? Oh, not long.

It's not going to take me long to go through it. Okay, Kyle, bi-weekly visits to his head. Yeah, there you go. He doesn't have to. I'm not going to treat Kyle like a subscription service where he's got to send me calls. coffee every couple weeks. I appreciate the gift as is.

I love it. And we do have a call from Kyle to get to tonight, so I can't wait to hear him. Oh, nice. And if you head over to Jayden's new horror movie podcast, why haven't you been listening? Go over and listen to Dead Men Still Walking.

had a great episode today he did the last episode he did was on one of my movies that made my top 10 there you go it was a really good episode so definitely check out over there and uh so we're super excited once again we're getting into survival horror we each have picked our movies tonight to review so we got four movies three from 2020 up to 2024 technically so we got two 2020s one 2024 and we got one 2019 it squeaked its way in and come in the back door

It was just really quick, like a little mouse running across the floor. It just squeaked its way in. Right. I was hoping nobody noticed. Yeah. We were going to pretend like it was a 2020. It was sitting there acting like a 2020 film. It was really 2020. Although I have a feeling that we would have gotten it. gotten at least 13 Facebook messages within three hours of the show posting.

Yes, yeah. Letting us know it was not a 2020. That's not a 2020 film. Okay, so we're letting you know up front this is not a 2020. Yep, we're laying it out there right at the beginning. But I think what we'll do first here, let's go into survival horror. Let's get... our takes of survival horror so i did a little quick research and the first time that the the term survival horror popped up was in 1996 and that was with a game called resident evil anybody ever played the original resident

Evil Game 1996. The video game. I did. Okay. So basically, what was it? Resident Evil from 90s. I have not played video games since the, like, literally since I think I've said it before. I think the last game I played was Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. Oh, okay. On the old Nintendo. And it took me three tries to get my Glass Joe. And that's how I know that I'm not a gamer anymore at that point.

Well, that whole Resident Evil kind of resurrected this term survival horror, and that's kind of where we're at. Now, survival horror, in my opinion, has been around since... God.

Back in the freaking black and white days, right? So survival horror for me is just a moment where you have... And there's different... We'll get into this, right? I'm going to pass it around and let everybody give their takes on survival horror. But basically... for me i feel like survival horror is when you have somebody in peril or somebody in distress and they have to fight back to survive right that's survival that's that's horror well that

You take that terminology and it's pretty much 99.9% of any horror movie made to an extent is survival horror. Minus, I would say maybe, I would take maybe the paranormal. out i would probably take some of that out a little bit i think it would for me it would revolve around like your your slasher films which would have your final girl i would consider those to be kind of survival horror uh zombie films would certainly

be what i would consider to be even though they're usually apocalyptic and these different things but i still feel they're survival horror so that's kind of my take on it so let's pass it around the horn give me your thoughts and we'll head over to dave first dave you're Your take on survival horror as a term. I'm thinking the same thing. I mean, any movie that has a creature...

Any when nature, you know, when when nature strikes back sort of movie like with sharks or, you know, in the woods, slashers. Absolutely. And I know this is not within the time frame that we're talking about. This is more of a classic film, but what the hell? I didn't stay in it anyway. One of your favorite movies, Greg, you said about paranormal. I would agree with you. I don't think that that paranormal is one that would normally fit in here. But how about something like The Entity?

Yeah, that's she's definitely surviving. So, yeah, she's trying to survive. She's trying to, you know, she's getting that's that's not just being spooked, you know, being frightened by a ghost. You know, that's not just being scared by a ghost. That's, you know, a ghost actually attacking you. And then what was that movie? A Hundred Feet. Oh, yeah. A Hundred Feet with Famke Jansen.

Yeah, totally. That, that would be definitely included. So yeah, I can see that then. I mean, I do have to kind of look at it a little differently, but you mentioned animal horror and I think that's my favorite of what I call survival horror is that, but.

That's just me. So let's head over to Bill. Bill, your terminology for survival horror. Well, survival horror is one of those things. I agree with you guys. It's going back from the dawn of time from... uh horror movies in total i mean i think back to 1932 is the most dangerous game that's survival horror you know so you know and you're going back to you know like the house on haunted hill

back the original like that's survival horror and people just think of it as you know uh you know a scary movie or an adventure movie or and it is but there are elements i mean all the slashers of the 80s they're all survival right you just want to see if there is a survivor or which girl survives or you know whomever to me this is a genre i love And it really came to prominence in the early to mid-2000s.

with saw and hostile and all of those ones where the torture and these escapism element became really important because when i was doing some research and i was looking up movies there was a whole glut of them from about 2002 to about 2012 and they all were banking off that a little bit of the torture end of it but also a little bit of they put all these characters in silly situations and they have to see if they get out

And usually they're in a smaller space. Usually they're in a location that makes it disadvantageous to them. If the movie's done well, as an audience member, you're sitting there wondering, are they going to? A good survival... You can always tell a good survival film when you care about if the character survives or not. If you don't care, it's not done well enough. Or you don't care, but the movie is so good, you want to see how they get killed. Otherwise, it's just blah.

But it's the kind of film I love. And when we're talking about ones from this, you know, kind of off the top of my head, like the movie Fresh was a survival film. All of the Strangers.

films or survival films a barbarian uh crawl uh fall that was a bit the biggest survival film probably in the last couple years my number one film of the year outcome the wolves yeah the director did backcountry so i love this genre so yeah let's talk and talk and talk all about it awesome well pearl let's head over to you what is your your take on survival horror pretty much basically what's been said

I mean for me it's always nature like frozen you know when you get stuck out there you know Elsa is not that bad is she? Elsa? Frozen? Wrong Frozen. Wrong Frozen. Ha ha, Olaf is not in this one. Yeah, 2010's Frozen. There you go, Adam Green. you know like 1976 grizzly i mean for me nature and animals and i'm gonna include home invasion with that because you're fighting like

I mean, things like your necks and, like he said, strangers. To me, that's... As long as you have to put up a fight, yeah, it's survival. I like that. I like... You know, when you really think about it, I feel like... I'm going to lean more towards survival horror as animal horror. I like the animal. You mentioned it, Dave, when the animals attack. Like I really, that really resonates with me because I feel those are, you know, when you got like, what was the movie? The Breed.

You remember Michelle Rodriguez and that? Michelle Rodriguez, that was a good one. Something, the pack. from the 80s. I was going to say, what's the one with Liam Nielsen with the Wolves? Oh, the Grey Wolves. The Grey. The Grey, yeah. The Grey. Something like... You were saying crawl. Bill mentioned backcountry. That's one I think about. Absolutely.

as survival horror. Yeah, those are the ones, five, was it of 78 or 79? I can't remember now. The one from Australia that I had brought up about the couple that goes out camping. Oh, yes, yes. Name escapes me. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? Oh, my God. Listen, it's escaping me right now, too.

The other one that I brought up was the one Dogs. Dogs is one. Long Weekend. Yes, that's it, Greg. Long Weekend. Yes, and Dogs. Yeah, from the 70s. Yes, that's that other one. The TV movie. Yeah. I was also thinking about what Pearl said with the home invasion. A movie like Funny Games is absolutely, or Mother's Day. Those are survival films, right? Yeah. Yeah, if there's anything. And all the zombie movies.

raw zombie movies are basically survival film night of the living dead is a survival movie if i've ever seen one yeah it absolutely is night of the living dead um yeah um you know all the way up to 28 days later which one wolf creek yeah wolf creek absolutely wolf creek is one yep absolutely so i got this little article pulled up and this is uh 75 top 75 horror survival horror movies okay this was uh created by jay during this.

i've seen that list yeah so i just want to read this briefly right here we'll give it a little bit of credit here because i see what y'all guys think but best survival horror movies of all time movies with survival horror plot in any form whether it's adventure horror science fiction wilderness

survival movies, Man Against Mountain, Man Against the Sea, Man Against Natural Disasters, classic survival movies, zombie apocalypse survival movies, space survival, Man Against Monsters, post-apocalyptic survival movies, war survival, trap survival, epidemic survival Etc. Yep, you named everything. So they had a definition. Survival horror films is a subgenre of the adventure film, but are more darker, including horror elements, in which protagonists must escape or survive a horrific, eerie...

and violent environment characteristics strong horror elements uh hostile environments action-oriented visceral horror unexpected attacks and escape horror situations you could throw in your escape rooms and those type movies right so here was his most or she or whatever here is they had a essential

must-see genre-defined survival horror movies, and their first one was 1968's Night of the Living Dead. Their second one was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre from 1974. And you'll see the pattern. The third one was Jaws. 1975 okay so what we've got here we've got a zombie film we got a slasher film we've got a animal attack film we got alien 1979

Absolutely. Sci-fi. Yeah, we got the sci-fi space. And then I don't recall this one, but 1985's Come to See. And that's S-E-E. Come to See. I don't think I've seen that one. That one I've got to look up because I honestly don't know that movie. So come and see 1985. Let's look it up. Oh, wait a second. Come and see. I thought you said come to see. Come and see.

That's the Russian war movie. OK, yes, that's that's on my top 200 of all time. That is incredible. It's an incredible movie. It's not one that I would. It's absolutely survival. It's not one that I would...

categorized as horror, although there are horrific moments, especially at the end of it. Horrific moments. It's literally, LM Klimov directed it. It is literally one of the greatest uh movies ever made yeah come and see is is brilliant a young boy joins the resistance against the nazis in belarus and witnesses the horrors of world war ii there yes he does and boy does he witness them holy

cow wow so i like that list i like he was able or she i say he or she whoever j whatever so anyways i like how they did the list so they they gave you like five genres of movies so that shows you the wide variety of horror movies you can get space horror you know sci-fi horror you can get war horror so there's where we're at but we picked four movies trying to point out that today's the international holocaust remember and stay in death survival

Oh, that's right. Yeah, Peter had mentioned that. Yes, yes. Yep. Absolutely. I mean, you get something like... You know, again, this is outside of horror, even though it is horrific, something like Schindler's List. Yeah. Trying to survive under those conditions and that situation. You know, I've never seen Schindler's List. I'll tell you what. It's another one of the greatest movies ever made. Steven Spielberg was very personal for him. He didn't take a salary for it.

Pearl's giving me that look like, you've never seen Schindler's List. Yeah, he refused to take a salary for it, and he refuses to sign any... material associated with it. He will not autograph anything associated with Schindler's List. So if you bring him a poster of Schindler's List or something or a lobby card to sign, he will not sign it. He'll get you something else, but he will not sign anything.

Everything associated with it, you know, because he's the whole thing with show of the show or foundation that that he's part of. Yeah. And it was something that he knew he had to make. As a matter of fact, Stanley Kubrick was planning a movie about the Holocaust himself. And he saw Schindler's List and abandoned it. He said, I can't do anything better than that. Right. Well, I will definitely put that on my list to watch Pearl. Don't go with Pearl to the theater and make out.

Yeah, no, you don't want to do that because then Newman will rat you out. Yeah, let's all do that. Well, I've got it on VHS recently, I think, so maybe watch it on VHS and see that. Oh, there you go. Old school format. Yeah, I'm telling you, man, it'll shake you. I mean, that's what even Quentin Tarantino said. It shook him to his core when he saw that movie.

Well, cool. All right. So once again, survival horror, we got four movies. So I'll go ahead and name out the movies we're going to review up front. So you can go ahead and write these down. These are what we're going to cover. And we'll do individual reviews of these. And if we've seen them, we...

can chime in but uh it's mainly you know individual reviews we didn't ask each other to watch our movies so which i thought was cool but if you do have something to say you know by all means you know jump in after the review and pop in what you got to say 2019, David chose Ready or Not. I chose 2020's The Hunt. And Pearl chose 2020's Alone. And Bill chose a 2024 film.

called Double Blind. So those are your four films tonight that we're going to review. We're going to go in chronological order, I think. So we'll start with the one out of sequence. Now, in my defense... I don't think I bought the Blu-ray until 2020. Oh, see there. There's the loophole.

You know what? Never mind. I bought it in November of 2019. Ah, son of a bitch. I was getting ready to look it up, Dave, to see if it had a release date of 2020. But Dave, was it wrapped until Christmas? Sure, why not? January 1st, they cracked it open and said, let's watch it. That's right. On January 1st, I said, hey, it's a new decade. Yeah. And I'm going to watch Ready or Not.

1201 on January 1st, 2020. Dave said, this is the movie. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. That's what happened. It's the story, and you're sticking to it, damn it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. No, I just saw survival horror, and everyone was picking newer movies. I said, well, let's look for a newer movie here, and I went with Ready or Not. And honestly, it wasn't until I went back. and was looking again that I even saw the caveat of 2020 to 2025. Oh, shit.

So this is going to be fun, listeners. So I think without further ado, we're going to go ahead and get into our first feature review, which will be Dave, Dr. Schott, Becker. I will put trailers before each one of these movies so you can hear a little bit of the trailer. It's hard sometimes because some of these newer movies, I miss, Dave, the 80s trailers when you had Somewhere in Time or you had that voice of...

When there was... I missed that. Yes, exactly. You had the great voices that did trailers, but we've talked about that before. I kind of missed that as well. You don't really have... had the only time a trailer is narrated it seems like anymore is when it's a foreign film and they're trying to mask the fact that it's a foreign film so they don't have the characters talking they have a narrator talking instead

Because they want people to see it. They want people to go see it and put their money down for it. And they know a lot of people won't if it's a foreign film with subtitles. Yeah. So then they'll have a narrator talking. You watch. Just pop into anything. DVD that has trailers at the beginning and you'll see that. You'll see the narrator in a land where things are going on and it's like the people themselves aren't talking and it's like oh because it's a foreign film.

I love it. I love that. In a world. were yes yes yeah that's the only time you really get narration anymore otherwise it's just like scenes from the movie and uh yeah you know it's that sort of a lost art form nowadays when you watch a trailer it just says it's my number one movie

I'm just kidding. They don't say that. They don't. Right. They'll have a quote from somebody. You know, they'll throw these quotes up there. Terrific. Amazing. Thrilling. But you got to look real quick to see that it's the same damn person. Or it's a sign. like me that's trying to just get a free Blu-ray or something. Yeah, exactly. Or it's like, you know, the... The Iowa Shopper's Guide or something like that. The Farmer's Market of Iowa says. Yes, exactly.

This movie is riveting. Right. It's like they use the same terminology. They'll throw ten quotes on the posters. But you gotta look. You've got to look to see who it's by. It could be from the South Carolina stinger. What the hell newspaper is that? I don't know. One day, though, please, somebody.

one day I want to have Greg Amortis on the cover somewhere with a little blurb saying this movie was awesome or whatever. I want Greg Amortis' name somewhere. Greg Amortis, Land of the Creeps, and people are going to be like, ooh. sounds important. He's on the cover. John Mickelson Thor has never played so well. That's right. Rock and roll nightmare. A 10 out of 10. Something like that.

Greg Amortis is named out the ball. That's what I was like. Who the fuck is Greg Amortis? Why is he thinking 10 out of 10? By damn it, it is. It's a 10 out of 10. That's exactly what they do. What was the one? Oh, God. It was the... Oh, this is what they did on the poster. They had all these like four stars, three and a half stars going across with like the name of the paper underneath. And on the on the front was, oh, God, Tom Hardy.

And he played both of the twins. It was like they were gangsters. And it's a true story. In between them, you know, because they're standing there and some of the stars are sort of eclipsed by their bodies. And in between them, there's like two stars. But you think it's just four stars, four stars, three and a half, three and a half, and they're covering it. No, that paper gave it two stars.

it between them, it looked like it was masking the other stars behind their arms. Really? But the one they quoted, the paper actually gave it a two out of four. Oh, wow. It was a major publication, I think, and they had to get that on the on the poster. Oh, God, I'm trying to figure out what it was. God, this guy's been in so many movies recently. Legend, the movie Legend. That's the one they did that for. But anyway, anyway, that's just that's just sort of the again.

the the people the money people are the ones who make all of those decisions nice well let's go ahead and get into it so we're gonna go ahead and play the trailer for dave's first uh or his review tonight which is ready or not from 2019 here's your trailer start the count. Good luck.

i can't believe that in half an hour i will be a part of the lodomus gaming dynasty empire uh dominion we prefer dominion i honestly can't wait to be a part of your family There's just one more thing, and then you are officially part of the family. So at midnight, you have to play a game. Why? It's just something we do when someone new joins the family. A game? What game? Hide and seek? Are we really gonna play that? Well...

The rules are simple. You can hide anywhere. We then try to find you. So there's no way for me to win, right? And stay hidden till dawn. No, thank you. Good luck. What the hell is this? How old is this thing? I know you're in here. So you shot the maid that she looked like she's wearing a giant white wedding dress Emily I Had to play along so that I can get you out

They think they have to kill me before sunrise. Or something very bad will happen to the family. If we don't find her and perform the ritual, we're all dead. Found her. is called Getting to Know Your Crossbow. I forgot my gun. Why don't you just use mine? Mr. Lodomas, I just saw her running. Yes, I didn't see you. Remember? He wanted to get married. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

All right, Dave, give us a plot synopsis and let's break this movie down, brother. All right. This is from IMDb. A bride's wedding night takes a sinister turn when her eccentric new in-laws force her to take part in a terrifying game. And that is exactly what it is. She's marrying into this family. Now, what it is, is it's Grace, played by Samara Weaving. And she's marrying Mark O'Brien.

Marco Brian is the actor. She's marrying Alex, played by Marco Brian. And Alex has been estranged from his family, but he goes home and they have the wedding at the house because they're multimillionaires. And it started back in the 1860s with the great-grandfather of the patriarch, Tony, played by Henry Sersney, and he's married to Andy McDowell.

She plays Becky. And the whole thing is, is that it wasn't hard work that got them where they were. They made a pact with a character, with this person. And what happens is they have this little box and every time someone marries into the family, a new member must play the game.

that you know that is printed on this card from the special box that the great grandfather had gotten when he went overseas this is the person this person is the one who is who is keeping them wealthy who gave them their wealth they have to play the game now There's only one game that's bad. If it comes up checkers, you play checkers. If it comes up, you know, hopscotch, you play hopscotch. I don't know what the hell it would be.

But anyway, the one game that is an issue is hide and seek. When you pick hide and seek, the family has to. basically kill you they have to in a ritual they have to you know they hunt you they wound you they bring you and they and they perform a ritual and it has to be before sunrise um well of course poor grace and she knows nothing about this because uh alex told her nothing about it she picks hide and seek and you could see everybody there is a little bit like oh god no

Because it's funny, the movie opens with the last time they had to do this. And it is when the aunt, I'm trying to see who played Aunt Helene, played by Nikki Guadagni, I'm going to say. Sounds good. When she when she picked the card and they show it like from 30 years ago. And this was back when Alex and Daniel, who's his brother, played by Adam Brody, were kids. That was the last time they had to do this. So they jump ahead 30 years.

And here they are. They have to do it again. Samara Weaving picks that. Alex tries to help her. He's like, this is BS. He doesn't like his family. He doesn't like his family at all. But she picks this card and it's at midnight. And she basically has to survive. from midnight until sun up. And if she does that, basically she survives, but the family doesn't. The legend is that the family will be killed. And that's, that's where it goes from there. And it's a, it's a funny movie.

There are three. Alex, her husband has his brother, Daniel, as I said, played by Adam Brody, also has a sister who I think is that. Is that Emily? I think it's Emily because that's. Charity is, yeah, Charity is Daniel's wife. Emily, played by Melanie Scrofano. She ends up having the most kills in this movie, I think. But absolutely not intentional.

And there are some brutal scenes in this film. There really are, including things that happen to Samara Weaving. There's one in particular where she's in this barn and she falls down into this, through these barn doors into this. pit where they keep all the bodies they throw the dead bodies of the dead goats down there and they've been rotting and decaying for like

and she climbs the ladder to get out, but earlier she had been shot in the hand by a kid. One of Emily's kids found her in the barn, shot her through the hand. Well, she's got to climb this. ladder and they get a close-up that she doesn't see of a like a screw sticking out of this board right where the ladder is and you're like oh i know where this is going it is a it is a brutal movie it is a funny movie

And Samara Weaving, you were talking, Bill, about you root for the character. You're absolutely rooting for Samara Weaving in this film. You're rooting for her to survive. You want to see her get out of this, but you don't. quite know how it's going to happen um as the movie takes like certain turns like alex is trying to help her

He's trying to help because he doesn't believe any of this. This is all a pact that was made 150, 160 years earlier. Nobody even knows if it's true. But they're so rich, they don't want to risk it. They don't because they don't want to risk it. The fact that it might that if it is true, they're screwed if they don't have her dead by by morning. really does have the most satisfying endings of a movie I've seen of this type.

Um, Samara Weaving really is, um, uh, she's, and then we were talking about this. I recorded on my top 10, uh, with Jay, the dead's, um, for Jay, the dead's new horror movies. And we were talking, Brian Scott was there and we were talking about.

um smile weaving she really is um sort of the queen of survival horror if you think about it i mean in in in this movie um she was in mayhem uh which i would just survive on from before that made my way up uh is absolutely survivor horror as well she's great in this film you really do refer she's you know very pretty obviously but just a great

character too because she says at one point she's really wanted to marry she's never had a family she grew up in foster homes and the biggest most important thing for her is family you know alex would have been fine just just living with her as as his lover for for eternity because he knew what was coming and he didn't tell her what was coming he knew what was coming and some of the other characters in this are real scumbags you know not just the family but the one charity who married uh

you know um who married daniel she's played by elise levesque and boy what good performance by her um you have fitch who who married uh emily played by christian brun

It's funny. He's given a crossbow as the weapon. He's like, how the fuck do you even use this thing and there's a point where he says i got he says i got to go to the bathroom he's in the bathroom and you see him watching a video it's like so you like he pulls a video up on youtube is like so you just got a crossbow well here's how you use it She has no idea how to even work this thing. And so you're really just rooting for her throughout this film.

But when things are happening, I mean, things are happening to her that that you're just like, oh, my God, it's awful. Yet she still finds a way. To to make it out. And the thing is, she didn't know this was coming and she's married into this family and she had no idea doing it might cost her her life. So, yeah, I.

Absolutely love this movie. I loved watching it again. It's so much fun. And I'll pass it off. Anybody else have anything to say about this? Sure. I agree with you, Dave. I absolutely adore this film. In terms of... both with the mood it's set it sets to the they took the extra time with the writing to make the characters interesting either

You cheer for them, you cheer them against them, but you're watching. One of the reasons I love Ready or Not is it was shot down the road from me down here in Oshawa, Ontario, at the house there, Parkwood Estates. My sister-in-law works there.

Yeah, the guy, the house that they use was the man who started General Motors Canada. So it's a huge estate. It certainly seemed like it. Like that scene right at the end when the place is going in flames and you see all the... tables and chairs out people do book their weddings for that oh you can book your weddings there but anyways i agree with you with samara weaving

I think Samara Weaving is phenomenal in this film. And Dave, when you were mentioning off the characters who had different sides to them, you didn't mention the butler. Oh, yeah, the butler who ends up Stevens. John Ralston's character. Yes, he ends up being like a real sort of... He loves Tchaikovsky. I was going to say, his classical music did him in.

yeah exactly his love of classical music but the thing is like yeah samara weaving is she sexy yes but is she is she's sexy in that way that sigourney weaver was tough strong take charge yeah level-headed knew what she was doing like she didn't do the thing that i hate in horror movies where somebody's coming in to kill you and then you just put your hands in front of your chest and go please don't kill me she didn't get to that level

She always knew what she was doing. At the very beginning, she was doing that a little bit. But when the chips were down and she realized that it was her or them, then she took it. I mean, there's a... Probably the one laugh I had the most was...

I think she punches out like an eight-year-old or something. See, my question was, when the kid was sitting in the barn, why wouldn't you have thrown him into the pile? I was thinking the same thing. When I got out, I would have picked his ass up and chucked him. down into that hole but the other thing is there is definitely dark comedy to this there is no doubt and i mean all i have to say is that last just before the final scene and things that go pop

Yes. Wow. Because you're not expecting it. You're not expecting it at all. You're not expecting like the very end of this movie. um but and that's what made it that's what made it so satisfying for me because i give this a nine out of ten i'm there with you i would give it a nine out of ten too yeah for me uh i looked up because i couldn't remember but back on 2019 when we did

our top 10 horror movies of the year. I was like, did this make my horror list? And it didn't, but there's a reason why it didn't. 2019, check this out. Now that was the year. that I had Rabid as my number 10, which was the Saska sisters. Haunt came in at number nine, which was a Beck and Woods film, which was great.

Us came out, Jordan Peele. Dr. Sleep was my number seven, which was amazing. Remember the movie The Nightingale? That was my number six. Yes, The Nightingale's a good one, yep. Number five was Bliss. which is phenomenal. Number four was Midsommar, which I absolutely loved. Dave, you just got the steel book of that recently. My number three was Parasite, which blew me away. Wow. My number two was Crawl because I absolutely love gator movies. Pearl knows.

And then my number one movie that year was Lighthouse. That, Robert Eggers, that was all that it was up against. So 2019 was a solid year. 2019 was a really phenomenal year for me. It really was, yeah. And those are all great movies. Ready or not, though, I really enjoyed it. That climax of the movie is kind of like watching Pimple Poppers. It's kind of like Pearl watching Pimple Poppers. It's like that climactic moment at the end. You're like, yeah.

But I really enjoyed this film. I think it's really good. I think the acting was what was so fun in it because it plays out kind of comedic through a lot of the scenes. It has that comedy side of things. Yeah, and the funny thing is it's these very wealthy people who are trying to protect their wealth, and that's the reason they're doing this, because they don't know if it's real or not, but they're not going to risk it.

The one line I always remembered, Henry Czerny, who plays Tony, the father, the patriarch. There's a scene where they're talking. And, you know, it's like, oh, this is, you know, this is awful. We didn't want to. And Tony Zerny's like, or Henry Zerny's character, Tony, is like, you think I wanted to do this? I got an eight o'clock tea time tomorrow.

nobody wants to do this they feel like they just don't have a choice there's the one conversation towards the end where I forget is it the mother he's talking to his mother And he's saying, like, you know, if I get out of here, I'm going to kill you. And she goes, well, if we make it, we're going to kill you. Yeah. Yeah. And she's like, well, I guess I'm dead either way. Yeah. She's dead either way. She's just smoking her cigarettes. She don't. Yeah. What do you think of this? Really good.

performance by andy mcdowell too oh yeah she was great did you like this one pearl i can't even remember yeah i did i thought you did yeah i i liked the full action her just you know instead of backing down she was all you know i'm getting out of this she was she was shock she went from being in shock to then being afraid to then saying screw it i'm i'm you know these people are not winning

What I love about movies like this too is this is a true survival horror movie, right? Because of what the theme is, the subject matter. It is definitely something that would make you... warrant survival. Like this, this girl has to go out and do her, her up team best to, to make it. And I was just like, wow, what a, what a concept of a movie. It's fun. It's whatever. Yeah.

It's funny. I tried to look up if we actually had our lists for top 10 horror movies, and me being a dumbass back in 2019 did not write our list down. Oh, what a dumbass. So now you've got to go back and listen to episode 212. And you know what? Because of the year it was, I don't know if this made my top 10 either. See? If I'm being perfectly honest, I don't know if it did. Now it would have.

re-watching it it's even better than if it it just holds up completely i loved it back then yeah i'd be surprised if it didn't but i can't say for sure it did because of all the movies you're mentioning now I know The Lighthouse was on there. I know Midsommar was on there. No, you know what? I don't think this did because I also did a top 10 for HMP that year. I don't think this movie made my top 10 either.

But it would now. I mean, it absolutely would now. I would find room for it in there somewhere because it is that good. I feel like it's made somebody's because Pearl did the little GIF image. and Ready or Not is up on the imagery. So somebody had to have this. I do remember, Dave, that you did. I do remember this one, and I only had to ask, because I remember you had Night Shift or whatever it was, the night movie. Night Shifter was my number one, yes. Yeah, and I know you had.

You or Bill both had braid. I remember that. yeah the hair movie might have been on there yeah and one of you had sweetheart so uh yes yes sweetheart that's the one i was trying to think of yes so go back and and listen to episode 212 of lotc It's episode 212. That was back on January 26, 2020. And we did our top 10 horror movies. And let us know. I want to know what our top 10, I know what mine was. Well, almost, almost.

Five years to the day that we're recording this. Oh, wow. That's crazy. So there you go. So anyway, so that is that. So Dave, thank you for that, brother. So I think what we'll do is we'll play a couple of voicemails in between our next review. We're going to go in chronological order. by release date, which means I will be going Sackett tonight. But I think before that, we will go to Mr. Patrick Gunner.

Patrick Gunner sent in his top five survival horror films, guys. And it's actually pretty good. Let's see what Mr. Patrick Gunter has given to us. His first one is... Becky. His second one is The Hunt, which is the movie I'll be reviewing here in a minute. Quiet Place Part 2 is his third favorite. His fourth is The Wrath of Becky Pearl. Oh, good one, yes. Both those Becky's are amazing. His number five, guys, check this out. Deep Blue Sea.

And he put three to the end. Is there three deep blue? Okay, so deep blue C3. Deep blue C3, okay, yeah. Because I knew deep blue C, I don't even think that was in the 2000s, but deep blue C3 I'm sure was. Does that have Sidney Sweeney in it? I'm wanting to know because he put at the end I have a crush on Sidney Sweeney just like Pearl does on John Travolta.

That's probably it. It's funny that he mentioned Becky because I thought about Becky, but Becky's almost a reverse survival because the person who's going to survive, you're wondering, is the perpetrator, not Becky. You know Becky's surviving, but you're not sure if Kevin James is going to survive. I mean, yeah, because of the way Becky is. I mean, you know, they're after her. The second one I think is probably even more survival horror. You know, they both are.

I think they both qualify. But I think the second one is even more because of the situation she's in. Oh, I totally agree. Totally. But I mean, just the way those movies are set up, you know, the title character is going to make it. You would think so. You would think so. So you're just wondering, will the bad guy survive? Yeah. Yeah. No, but that's a good list, Patrick. I will make a prediction. No one will have my movie on their list.

Because unlike me, they can follow directions. Well, Dave, we're not saying you didn't follow directions. We're just saying that you bent the rule a little bit. We're not saying you didn't follow directions. You just can't read. That's, that's what it is. I just, I just said, oh, survival horror. Good. Okay. I mean, I'll be honest with you. I was thinking of going, I was going to where the problem is.

if I went with some of the ones I was originally looking at, I mean, some of them are like from the nineties and eighties and stuff. If I had posted that, you would have corrected me right away. Right. I mean, putting ready or not up there. That was so damn close. That must've been 2020. I did not question it. Initially, I was like, ooh, I can do a guinea pig thumb. Oh, yuck. Yeah, yuck. Thank goodness.

The problem is at the end of a guinea pig film, nobody wants to survive. Yeah, that's right. Let's go to Darren from Northern California. Greg Pearl, Dave Bill, Darren from Northern California, Colin. Okay, we are talking survival horror. You specified between years 2020 and 2025, so I'm...

Between those years, I didn't see a whole lot of what is considered survival horror films. I mean, if you think about it, all horror films are survival films, but I kind of know the area you're actually talking about. So I have three that I did see and two that I have not seen but I want to see, but I want to mention them in case anybody has any discussion on any of these films. So the three that I have seen.

The first one is from 2020, and that's The Hunt by Craig Zovell. I just love that film. There was a lot of cameos by... more well-known stars in it that you thought were going to be in the movies longer than you believe, but things happen. But the cat-and-mouse game that went on in that film just sounds fantastic.

Next one on my list is The Black Phone by Scott Derrickson from 2021. I was a big fan of Joel Hill's short story, and I thought the adaptation that they did for this film was fantastic, and Ethan Hawke. Just hit it out of the park with his performance. Here's a silly one. Willie's Wonderland 2021 by Kevin Lewis. Nicolas Cage at his best and not saying a damn thing throughout the whole film.

I know it really had a silly premise, but he was trying to survive the night. It was definitely a fun watch. Okay, the two movies that I have not seen, but I'm hoping... you guys have some insight in one is another nicholas cage movie arcadian by benjamin brewer from 2024. i know it's on shutter i just haven't gotten around to it i hope i wonder what you guys thought of it and another one is

Fall by Scott Mann from 2022. I know that Jay of the Dead is really saying the praises of this film, and I'm just wondering how everybody else felt about it. But, I mean, I'm going to get around to seeing it eventually anyway. Okay. Hope you guys have a great show, and I will talk to you next time. Take care. Bye-bye. So, Darren, let me answer your question right here real quick. All right. So, The Hunt is one I'll be talking about, The Arcadian by Benjamin Brewer.

I absolutely loved it. That made my honorable mention. That almost made my top 10 of the year. That was a good one. That would have been on my top 20. Yes. Yeah, and it was a movie that really caught me by surprise because... i know pearl i think you had seen it first yeah ahead of me and it was just one of those nights where i was just like yeah let's watch something and and i finally took the chance to watch it because it was on shutter and

And I try to watch all of Nicolas Cage movies because I absolutely love Nicolas Cage. But I was not expecting much, to be honest, because I had not heard a lot of buzz about it. But after watching it, dude, I was like, dude, this movie's like really... fucking good like it really surprised me and the one character is jaden martell which is the he would be the i guess technically the youngest son But there's really not sons. I guess they were kind of, you would call them adopted, I guess.

But he would have been the youngest one. But you would recognize him from, he's been in so much stuff here as of lately, right? It Chapter 2, It Chapter 1, stuff like that, right? So he's such an amazing actor. Pearl and I got to see him. bill you got to see him greg p and amy lee we all got to see him pearl at the convention at spooky empire yeah so that added a little extra like there he was

But this movie's phenomenal. I think the atmosphere is creepy. It's post-apocalyptic. Well, I guess, would you call it post-apocalyptic? I guess you kind of have to. To an extent. It is. Yeah, it absolutely is. In the same way that A Quiet Place is. Right, right. There you go. But the only thing that kind of was wonky for me was the overall creature effect.

There was a few moments where it kind of was almost laughable, in my opinion. But other than that, the tone of the movie is dark. The acting in it is phenomenal. I thought Nicolas Cage... was phenomenal. And it's one of the few Nicolas Cage movies where he's not going over the top. It's a very subdued performance, but it's effective and it works. It's almost like his movie Pig. I love the movie Pig, right? So I feel like it almost put in that...

performance of P. Yeah, it's not crazy Nick Cage. This is certainly not the crazy Nick Cage that you get in something like Mandy or Colorado Space or Willie's Wonderland. which is another one that Darren had mentioned and another one that I enjoyed as well. And yeah, Nicolas Cage does not say a word in that, and yet somehow he still seems to be crazy in a cage. But I absolutely love it. I know, Pearl, you were a big fan of it. Yes, I am. And Bill, you've seen it as well, or no? Which one?

Arcadian. Arcadian. No, I actually didn't get to it yet. Okay, definitely add that to your list. Absolutely worth checking out. And then the second movie you mentioned was Fall. Now Pearl knows that movie. It fucking got me.

yeah if you have a fear of high sacrophobia then and i do yeah the thing with uh fall is it's not a hard horror but it's scary if that makes sense like it's not you know killing blood you know demonistic it's nothing super but there are the situation she's in and then put yourself in that situation and you're oh yeah oh yeah 100% survival horror, 100%. I wish...

Pearl and I would have took the chance. I didn't do it, and I kick myself every day for this. I wish we would have made our way to the theater to watch this, because this on the big screen, I think, would have been even more traumatizing to me, because like I said, I'm... tremendous fear of heights. So this one would have definitely got... How about on IMAX? One of those curved IMAX screens. What about the 4DX or whatever where they like spray stuff at you and shit? Dude, that would...

And what, bird shit? Yeah. But I really enjoyed this movie a lot. I just really did. So I think overall, both films would definitely be in your top list, Darren, without a doubt. I know you, and this is in your wheelhouse, buddy. So there you go. So that is the fall or fall, not the fall and not fall like the weather and not fall like you trip. It's fall. And then we got Arcadia. It's a good list, buddy. Appreciate that. So let's go ahead and get into our.

Our next review, which will be by moi. And we're going to go to 2020. And this movie released in March. of 2020 so that's why i'm going first uh pearl would be going second or third because hers is in september of 2020 pearl so march of 2020 we had this movie that i'm gonna be talking about which is called the hunt So let's go to the trailer now. What is all of this? Did you see that article? Every year these liberal elites kidnap a bunch of normal folks like us and hunt us for sport.

Last I heard free speech still exists. Don't First Amendment me. It wasn't real We were joking There's been a killing spree. You gotta come here right now. You actually believed we were hunting human beings for sport. But you are. We have an opportunity here to teach these people. These are not real people. They're actors. I'm playing an Arab refugee, but I identify as white. I think that's problematic too in some way. You wanted it to be real, so you decided it was.

What kind of sick people would even think of something like that? White people. We're the worst. Alrighty, there we go. So The Hunt, directed by Craig Zobel. This is 12 strangers wake up in a clearing. They don't know where they are or how they got there. They don't know they've been chosen for a very specific purpose, the hunt.

So the movie sets up basically a survival horror. That's exactly the only way to describe this. This is survival at its best. It's a cat and mouse game. So the opening scene is this... plane flight you got a flight attendant and you got an individual on there and she's asking if he wants caviar have you ever had caviar and he's talking about he's just a smart ass you can tell us he's a prick

And then some guy just randomly comes out of nowhere and they start panicking like he's awake. He's blah, blah. And we realize now that he's not supposed to be awake. So they basically have... These contestants, I'll call them contestants, I don't know what you want to call them, survivalists, whatever. They've put these individuals on this flight, they've drugged them, and they're going to wake them up in the middle of this field and give them some tools if they can find that they have.

tools weaponry whatever and they got to survive it's a cat and mouse game it's basically a bunch of rich people out here having fun doing the hunt And that's the premise. So what I like about this movie is I think the acting is phenomenal, but it has some twists and turns in it, okay? So we have some characters in here like Emma Roberts.

We'll call her Yoga Pants, according to IMDB. That's funny. You got Ike Barinholtz who plays Staten Island. Get the names. You got Ethan Supley who plays Shut the Fuck Up Gary. That's what they call them. I'm doing this off IMDb, so don't yell at me. Vanilla Nice is played by Sturgill Simpson. And you've got to get this guy out there. You've got to get Don played by Wayne Duvall.

And then the main girl in this movie is Crystal, played by Betty Gilpin. You got Hilary Swank as well. So anyways, that's some of your cast. But what I like about this movie is, is they wake up in this field and there's this box. And they go to this box. They all have these gags in their mouth and they don't know what the hell's going on. Individually, they're waking up one at a time, right? So this one guy goes to a big box in the middle of an open field with forest around them.

He goes to open it and everybody starts panicking like, what are you doing? And they take off running. And we got, I don't want to necessarily kill what.

first comes out because i think it's a hilarity moment so i'll leave that let you guess what it is but he opens this thing up something comes out they all do this and and something comes out and they're like oh okay And then he pulls out this daggone cart thing that has a triangular shaped shelf that has all kinds of blades and machine guns and...

grenade, all kinds of shit, man. They're stacked, right? So everybody starts running to it. They're getting their weaponry, and then somebody gets shot. And it's just like an instant, oh my God moment. And it never lets up from there. This movie has suspense, but it has humor. It's got a lot of humor in it, but it's done in a specific way that it's not.

distracting I feel like Jay would not be distracted with this one I know he doesn't like comedy horror but I don't think this is the comedy that he necessarily dislikes So the movie plays out really well. Once again, Crystal ends up becoming your main survivalist, Betty Gilpin. And there's a little something different with her compared to the others. She seems to be a little bit more prepared, a little bit more well-trained, maybe militarically. Who knows?

I won't spoil that, but I'll just say she's a badass. And we got some fighting. We got lots of good gore. Well, I won't say good gore, but we got lots of good shoot scenes. Not necessarily squibs. I think a lot of it's CGI and then, you know, the effects of that. But still done in a way that was okay. There's a couple little CGI blasts of a head that were kind of like wonky. But I love how this movie plays out.

from start to finish the the trip it takes you on and it's just a fun movie to watch i just thought that i looked back and i was like 2020 did the hunt make my top 10 of that year and it didn't and or i say it didn't i haven't looked it up but i know it didn't but uh it was one of those movies that i remembered i didn't watch it until late in the year when we was

cramming for our top 10 horror movies. And I was trying to do that last minute push. I remember we, we kind of did a last minute push Pearl. I think it was cause I couldn't find this movie. I think that's what it was, but. The one thing that does kind of, and you got to go into it. How do I do this? There is some blaringly scripted political.

undertones in this film that's one of the things i love about it i'm sorry go ahead i don't want to interrupt you but that's one of the things i love about it because it's not taking sides it's satirizing both sides yes and that was purposely set okay so this wasn't like a an accident they they set out to do this and it was more of a

I don't want to call it like a slapstick type thing, but they do hit you on both ends. You're going to get the side of the right wing and the left wing. They are satirizing the far right, and they are satirizing the far left. Yes, so they don't leave any... stone unturned uh which i appreciate it but it does here was my thing i at first i'm like

You're laughing and all that. It does get to be a little too much sometimes. It's like, okay, guys, I get it. All right, whatever. Let's move on. I don't need this every five minutes, but... It's still fun. And I'm looking, the Hunt did not make my top 10 of that year, which I'm kind of surprised now because I actually really enjoyed it. Did not make Pearl, did not make anybody's top 10. I've actually got the list here. But anyways, it's a fun watch. I think.

Everybody should check this one out. Go into it kind of blind. I'm leaving it vague because I don't want to give too much away. strategically wise. But Hilary Swank's character plays a key role in this at the end of the movie. And I think there's an epic battle that takes place that was just awesome. I was into that battle at the end of this movie so much. uh you know it's one ups one gets one up one gets one down and it's just so freaking fun the fight sequence is great

acting strong in this movie. I really love the Don character in this one. I enjoyed him and my favorite character in the whole movie. And I think it's because of, and it's Ethan Supley, by the way. It's the one, the shut the fuck up Gary guy. I just really like this guy, and I'll tell you why. Because back in the day, he was on a TV series, and I don't know if y'all ever watched this series.

way back in the day. He was also in Mallrats, too, by the way. But he was in a TV series. It was called something about the Parker, Parker Lewis. You remember the Parker Lewis? Parker Lewis Can't Lose? Yes. And he was one of the characters in that show. And I was a huge fan of that show. I thought it was hilarious. And I never did buy it.

never bought that i don't even know if it's out there to watch anymore like some of these shows are have disappeared but i really am i'm curious but that was like a 1990s coming of age type thing i think it was when did that come out a uh boy he was Boy Meets World, Remember the Titans. When did that come out? I remember his role in the butterfly effect as well. Oh, yeah, definitely that one for sure. And what was that? God, he played the brother of... What was that TV show?

My name is Earl. Yeah, my name is Earl. He played the brother in My Name Is Earl also. Yes, I sound like such an idiot because this is not the guy from Parker Lewis now. It's not the Parker Lewis guy. It's the guy from My Brother Earl. My name is Earl. My name is Earl. That's what I meant. He played Randy, the brother in Missouri, which was a fun show. It didn't last long. I don't think it lasted long. Let me see. Oh, no, it actually made it for...

Yeah, four seasons. What is it? How many seasons? Made it for four seasons. That's more than I thought. I thought it was like two or three seasons, but it made it for four seasons. So he was Jason Lee. Jason Lee played Earl, and Ethan Supley was his... Brother Randy. The one I really remember is obviously Jamie Presley. He played the ex-wife. That's who I remember him from. I'll take Parker Lewis back. He kind of looks like one of the guys from Parker Lewis. You'll know who I'm talking about.

But anyways, different guy. But to say that, I really enjoyed his character. Especially there's a scene where they end up on a train. And during this train sequence, there's some immigrants that are on this train. And the funny part of this movie is he, he, Ethan Supley's character is a, we found out he's a podcaster and he's one of those theorists, one of those conspiracy theorists type, you know, type.

podcasters and he's like you're not even an immigrant or something like that you're you're a you're a You're a faker or whatever they called him. You're an actor is what he's called. You're an actor. And all this stuff, they're like, shut up, man, like that. And then the guy finally, because he's speaking like he's Arabian or something. But anyways, he sits and he finally talks to an American. Will you shut up? the fuck up you don't give us away

It was like, he said, see, I told you I'm right. The one time that a theorist is right. You know, when he's conspiracy theories, I thought it was hilarious. So I'm going to say the one character I enjoyed was Wayne Duvall. Yes, Don. Yes. Don. Yes. Like, you know, like he comes off as this, you know, this right wing, you know, just kind of everything. Don't you know who that is? They're going to come save us.

Did they? Yeah, sure. But he just seemed like that guy that everybody knows in your neighborhood, but you're always a little weary of. That's Wayne Duvall. Exactly. It plays really well. It's a fast movie. Right, Pearl? Yeah. You had a blast with it, right? Oh, definitely. Yeah. You don't have to think too hard watching this. No. No, you just watch this one. It was a really nice bow and arrow shot to a guy's neck. Oh, God.

Bow and arrow scene was hilarious. Poor guy. But here's the thing. You just watch the movie. This is basically a movie to sit down and watch and say, which one's going to get, which one's dying. Next. That's what it is. How are they going to die? You know what I learned from this film? Don't eat the donuts. And wear looser pants. It don't do good to wear skin-tight pants, boys, I'm going to tell you. Yeah, vasectomy done wrong. But I love this movie. It has good kills in it, and it's just a fun.

Fun, fun movie. If you've not seen it, man, I highly recommend it. Betty Gilpin. Phenomenal, man. Hillary Swank. How did Hillary Swank have a fight toward the end of this? That's pretty crazy. But there's that reveal. Betty Gilpin's character. Yes! Maybe she shouldn't have been there. Maybe the person had a different spelling of a name, maybe. Yes, exactly. And it's that holy shit. Who would have thought after a bare knuckles, you know, beat up, bruiser up fight.

a talk about books. It would be a book talk. Sure. Why not? Why wouldn't there be? Oh, my God. I love this movie, though. I just really, really, really enjoy it. I'll do this for you guys and gals just for the shits and giggles of it. Just because I like to do shits and giggles. 2020 horror films. here we go go back to episode pearl 243 okay which released february 16 2021 and you'll hear our top 10 horror movies of 2020

And you can see if, well, I already told you the hunt didn't make it. Did it make mine? I don't even remember if it made mine or not. It did not, Dave. No, it did not. But I know I liked it. I know I enjoyed it. It's funny because looking at your list, Dave, it was a strong, not as strong as 2019, in my opinion, year as I'm looking through everybody's list. I don't think it was definitely as strong as 2019, but it was a good year. 2020 was the year.

of COVID. That's what I remember. You couldn't get to the theater. And a lot of movies that ended up being released in 2021 and 2022 might have been released in 2020. Bill, you gave your wonky list. And Pearl, you didn't give a tie. No. Wow. You need to change it. I'm surprised. So anyway, so go check it out. It's episode 243 of LOTC. You'll get our top 10 horror movies 2020. Why was my list wonky?

Because I'm just looking at some of your titles. I like to pick on you. I always look at Bill's list because I'm waiting for the... He likes to bust your chops. I do. I like to look for that. He's just being a dick. That's all he's doing. It's what I do best. But honestly, though...

Bill, yours and I are not – I'm not going to say the same, but we're not far off. We're not far off. Yeah, yeah. So Greg's list is wonky, too. Yep. Mine's a hella wonky, but – Wobbly. I'll give two away that, Bill, I don't even remember. After Midnight?

Yes, that was the one about the creature out in the woods. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Get Duke. Yes, yeah, that was the one about the survival with the kids in Scotland. Okay, all right, okay. And then he's got a bunch of Hunt movies in there, so there you go. So Greg and Bill's list that year were weebles. Weeble wobbles. We were a little weeble and a little wobbly. But did not fall down. I had another alligator movie, though, so that made up for everything that makes it right.

What was my number one that year? Anything for Jackson. Oh, yes. Oh, what a great movie that was. Greg, was that the year that your number one was scare me? No. That was, Scare Me was actually my number three. Color Out of Space was mine, Bill's, and Pearl's. Okay, that's okay. I knew Scare Me was high up there. Oh, it was, yeah. All right, well, cool. Let's see. Let's go to...

I think it's time to go to a couple more voicemails, and then we'll be coming to Pearl to get hers. And then we're saving the, what do we call this? We call it, what's the Anchorman? It's the Anchorman. It's that fourth. person oh the um the fourth uh the fourth batter clean up the cleanup batter or in track is that clean is that anchor person will be the cleanup i don't think i've ever been clean up here

Well, tonight you're a heavy hitter, buddy. You're coming in. Tonight I'm the Mickey Mantle of LOTC. Yes, you are. You're Mickey Mantle. Who was it for the Blue Jays? George Bell. Was he the fourth man? Jorge. Jesus Christ, he was in the Phillies organization and we lost him. Son of a bitch. The Jays claimed him off waivers, I think. Yeah, yeah. Phillies didn't protect him and the son of a bitch was amazing.

Rule 5. Couldn't catch a lick, but boy, could he hit the ball. Doesn't matter. The Phillies had guys back then who couldn't catch a lick and couldn't hit shit. See, that's what you get. We start a horror podcast, we get to do a baseball podcast. It never fails. It never fails. Let's go to our next call, and it's going to be from Dr. Walking Dead, Kyle Bishop. Hey, Creepers. Dr. Walking Dead.

So I'm like the worst fan of the show. But I was thinking maybe that could be my thing, right? Maybe that could be who I am. I'm the guy who always calls in for the wrong show. I mean, you've already got a guy who sings, right? You got a guy who drinks massive amounts of liquor. You used to have a guy who was secretly a serial killer. But I don't know if you have a guy who's just chronically tardy. So this is for you, Dr. Shuck.

I'm calling in with my top five of 1990. That's right. That's right. It's a show that's already aired. And I'm just now calling in. Who knows? Who knows how many shows have passed since that episode? But I'll just keep trying. Maybe I'll get later and later. Yeah. Everybody's faded breath now that this show's come out. So let me say, number five, Nightbreed. Number four, Tremors. Number three, The Night of the Living Dead remake, which is awesome thanks to Tom Savini. Number two, perhaps...

the most terrifying film for most of us writers, Misery. And number one, man, I know I'm a sucker for non-R-rated horror, but this one messed me up as a kid, and it still messes me up today. That's arachnophobia. You and me, Greg. Keep those spiders at bay. There you go. There's my top five for 1990. Oh, you know, I'll call in with my 1991 picks.

sometime. Alright, well, you guys are awesome. Thanks for keeping horror alive. It's always good to hear you guys. And Pearl, of course. Pearl's the best. Later. I can't wait to hear his call next week all about survival horror. Yes, exactly. Or no, no, the next one will be, hey, you're episode 200 about Hitchcock. I love. Kyle. That was great. You have great choice in squirty juice. It's funny. I know y'all have not seen, most of y'all have not seen the movie The Presence yet.

I told Jay and Pearl and I last night, we recorded our review for Jay the Dead's new horror movie podcast. And there's a character, and many of you will know this individual. His name's Chris Sullivan. He's been in This Is Us, the new TV series. recent tv series most people know from that he's been a lot of stuff chris sullivan is my and i'll say it here was my favorite part of the movie the presence right

I told Jay last night on air, and I'll spoil it right here. I was like, Kyle is the Chris Sullivan. for me he he's the big burly just big tall like but he's got the softest voice He's the teddy bear. He's so lovable, so huggable. And I've hugged him, and I've touched him. Not like that, but I mean, I've hugged him. Sorry, Kyle. We're keeping it professional here. This is a true confession.

Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry, Kyle. But no, I've hugged this man. This man, he's such an amazing guy. And I felt like in the movie The Presence, I told Jay, I was like... I felt like I was watching Kyle because I feel like there was a couple times that Chris's character had to burst out, right, in an anger moment. I was like, I bet Kyle has that mentality. But his overall mannerism, I feel, is just laid back, smooth talking, loving. He's just a big old teddy bear that everybody loves.

Especially me. I love you, Kyle Bishop. You are my Chris Sullivan of the presence, my friend. And how great. He's living the dream we would all like. His job is to watch movies. Right. Yes, exactly. Get paid to watch movies. to and watch them you know obviously with students and he puts together you know to talk he has to have lesson plans his lesson plans are he does research for his lesson plans on imdb for christ i love it

I love it. I'm so jealous, Kyle. If you ever need an assistant, brother, I'm your man. I can be your official IMDB look-or-upper. I've already talked to Kyle and said I'll offer up to go give a seminar or a lecture with his class if he wants to there you go Teaching seven-year-olds, teaching 17-year-olds. What's the difference? Well, I'm pretty sure he's in college. And Doogie Howser might have been the only seven-year-old in college that I know. Yeah, he just did the zombie.

If you go back or the, he did his, what was it? Oh God, I'm sorry. It's a landmark essay. Thank you. A landmark essay. Thank you, Pearl. Sorry about that, Kyle. Nice. But it's took them, what, seven or eight years? It was a lot of homework, a lot of, you know, just research and working on the series iZombie. And it's a really, really, really... fascinating read. You can actually read it for free.

out there uh maybe uh pearl send me that and i'll link it up for you kyle and he is a published author as well he is got a couple of his books i love it yep so we said all that to say kyle if you want to be the the tardy guy that's fine i'm good with that as long as we get to hear that big huggable voice my friend all right so let's go to our next call and then we'll get over to pearl thank you pearl she just sent me the link uh let's go to chris bartoli

The Creeps, Chris Bartoli from Worcester Mass here. I hope everyone's doing well and everybody's staying warm and staying safe. And so, yeah, so survival horror, I got to tell you, this is probably one of my favorite subgenres. My absolute favorite has always been 80s flashers. That's great. Love them. But survival horror, I've always just gravitated towards it. And especially like the more modern ones.

because i think they can they just show a lot more and they're they're more visceral whatever so anyways i've got a few um to mention people might want to check out one is the hunt from 2020. I know this movie was delayed for like a year, and then I think COVID hit. It wasn't in theaters for maybe a few days, but this was a real good one. I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Another one, Out Come the Wolves from 2024, but I just...

I just mentioned that on the best of 2024 show, and I know it got mentioned a few times. One I would definitely recommend. And another one I really liked that I just watched a couple weeks ago. It was called Beaten to Death. It's on Shudder from 2022. Now, this had everything. It was graphic. It was sadistic.

I mean, with this poor guy, Jack, what he goes through and what he overcomes, and then the way it ends, it's really good. I highly recommend it. I think a lot of people on this group, I think, would definitely enjoy that one. It's a good one.

And then there was another one that I wanted to mention. I couldn't remember when it came out, so I Googled it, and it looks like it was 2019. So I'm like, you know what? I'm just going to keep searching. If I can find a movie database somewhere that listed in 2020, I'm just going to say it. But unfortunately...

I didn't. It's 2019. And I really put the effort trying to find it, too. I mean, I must have searched for a good one or two minutes. And I'm like, you know what? No, it's not coming up. So I can't mention the theories. Oops.

Oh, shit, sorry. I can't mention that because it's not in the plan list. But it had a pretty good story. It had some great gold and was very sadistic, but I can't mention that one because it was too old. But anyways, those other ones, I would recommend anybody. Check them out. They're really good. And that's what I got. So I love you guys. Love the crew. Love the community. And thank you for keeping her alive. Bye. We love you. That was hilarious. Yeah, that's great.

I thought he was going to say ready or not. I know, right? He's talking to 2019, but you know what? That's cool because I put no research into me being wrong. Beaten to death. We got to go watch that one. 2022 on Shudder, man. Thank you for the recommendation. The Furies. I'd forgotten about that. That's a good movie.

good one yeah that's the grandpa the grandpa grandma story yeah yeah yeah it's not that dissimilar in tone to uh the hunt that's true no the yeah no the furious are you are you thinking of the um are you thinking of um And like Shyamalan's movie, Greg? I'm thinking about the one that had the older couple. And if you know where I'm going, maybe it's the Fury. No, I think it's the Furies. It had to be the Furies, 2019. That was the movie, kind of a...

I'm pulling it up, damn it. Now I'm going to have to look it up just to make sure. God damn it. I don't remember that. That's the one where she's dropped into the forest out of a box, basically. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And she survives. And there's a guy with this funky mask that's chasing her with an ax. Oh, different movie.

I think the one I watched was called The Fury. Somebody help me out. I know y'all screaming at me right now. Pearl knows exactly which one I'm talking about. You're talking about the one where grandma and grandpa aren't grandma and grandpa? Yes. You know, there's a hidden agenda. The found footage one? That's an M. Night Shyamalan movie, The Visit. The Visit. No, not The Visit. I know The Visit.

Okay. That's what I was thinking when you said grandma and grandpa. No, the one I'm talking about is, and I'm going to end up having to spoil this just to let you all know what I'm talking about. It's the movie where they ended up injecting a drug into them. to knock them out. It's like a survival type film, like a hostage situation.

You think the elderly couple is really super nice, but they turn out to maybe not be so nice. That sounds somewhat familiar. You know it, Dave. It's 100%. You know it, and I swear I thought it was called The Fury. Yeah, that sounds... somewhat familiar. I don't know what it's... I can't remember what it's called, but yes. I know somebody is screaming at me right now saying, I know that movie. Was it set in England or Ireland or something? Yes. Yeah.

Y'all know which movie? I don't remember the title, but I'm sitting here looking at the... I can see the images from the movie in my mind, scenes from it, but I can't remember the title of it. Something along that line is similar. to the furies uh but it was a fairly and this was within the last this would have been 20

18, 19, 20, 21, 22, something around in there. This was within the last two decades for sure. But anyways, I don't know. Somebody yell at me. Somebody scream it right now and call us in and say, Greg, I'm Mortis. You know what the fuck that name was. But anyways.

All right, so we'll move on from that. I've got one here, Greg. Furry's the movie. What's that? Furry's the movie. What's that? A rural couple having relationship issues discovers that purism may be the solution to all their problems. What the hell was that? What? Well, I have something here. Furby. Furby. F-U-R-B. F-U-R-B-Y. Yeah. You remember that little electronic toy? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's not.

That's about it. That was one of the things that came up when I'm trying to find this movie. I don't know if it was called Furies. I don't know what it was called, to be honest with you. There's a movie, a short called Planet of the Furries. Jeez. Somebody's screaming at me right now because they know exactly.

Well, they're screaming at all of us because we don't know what the hell it is. We're a fucking podcast, and we don't even remember what the fuck this movie is. God dang it. I can't remember. Oh, my God. It's such a good movie. Somebody please call us. smack me in the mouth with it because it's a good movie. It was good. I remember liking that. It is Scottish.

or Dutch or Scottish or not. I'm pretty sure it's, it's, it's Britain somewhere in Britain. It's either Ireland or Scotland or England. Oh, and you remember the doctor, you remember the doctor, right? There's a doctor involved. and there's a syringe. Am I getting there? The doctor, the elderly couple. I remember the older couple, and I remember the fact... It's almost like, what was it? It was almost like a home invasion, but they turned the tables on them. Is that what it was? Yes, yes, 100%.

That's all I remember. I swear it was the Furies, but evidently I'm wrong. You know what? Everyone on Facebook, hit us up. Let us know the name of the movie, and then we'll all smack our heads and go, of course. I just spent 20 minutes trying to explain a fucking movie. I can't remember the name. That's great, Greg. Great job, Greg. That's why you're host of Land of the Creeps, because you can't remember my god dang name. And thanks to Chris Bartoli for bringing that discussion on unknowingly.

For a movie that didn't even count. We love you, Chris Bartoli. I love you, buddy. For a movie that didn't even count, but the one he mentioned is a damn good movie. Yeah, it is. Now, I had a moment before I came down. I couldn't remember the name of a movie, so let's keep on this track. Do you remember that one a couple of years ago? It was a Canadian one. He goes into a bar and the participants look like they're in a support group, but they're all serial killers. This is fun. That's it.

Oh, yeah. This is fun. I couldn't remember. But that would have fit into this category. Yeah. Yeah, but that was an easy one to come up with. Come on, man. Get a hard one. Like the movie I'm trying to talk about. Like, come on. Like, you gave him a softball, Bill. What's that movie that's my number one fan? Like, come on, man. Come on, Bill. Give him a good movie that you can't remember.

Come on, we don't want softballs here. Get a movie that you can't remember. Come on. I think that's a time to move on. Yeah, let's move on. All righty, and Pearl, thank you, because we just took a short break, and Pearl has... Figured out the movie that we just spent 20 minutes talking about and could not remember the name. It is 2020's The Owners.

O-W-N-E-R-S. Far away from the Furies. Well, the owners, the Furies. It is a word that has consonants and vowels in it. Both words have that. Oh, wait, wait, wait. It's two words. And it's got the six furies, F-U-R-I-E-S, and owners is O-W-N-E-R-S. See how you can be confused? That must be it, yes. I make that same confusion all the time.

But Greg, it reached the maximum number of syllables of two. This is true. This is true. Anything other than that would have been. Yeah, it's in your wheelhouse. Yep, but this one, let me read it real quick. A group of friends think they found an easy score at the empty house with a safe full of cash, but when the elderly owners arrive home, things begin to go awry. I'm going to tell you what, you want to talk about survival horror with a twist.

That's it right there, boys. Yep, absolutely. Good one. So cool. All right. So thank you. We got to say thank you, Chris Bartoli, for bringing up that 20-minute discussion, which was our fault, not yours. I'm blaming me on that. for the Furies not being what I thought it was. So there, it's the owners. Thank you.

So with that said, let's move into our third feature review tonight in a world where... No, we're here. All right. So what we're going to do is go to Pearl. She's going to give us her... film tonight, which was released in September 2020, and we're going to play the trailer for Alone. Do you live nearby? No, not really. Where are you going? I'm headed north. I've got to go. It's just going to take a minute. I'm late for a meeting. I'm sorry. 911, what's your emergency?

Are you scared? Please, please let me go. Do you think you're the first one to say that? Coming for you. All right, Pearl, take it away. Let us know your plot synopsis and give us your analysis of this movie alone. First of all, disclaimer upfront, forgive me if I... clearly sabotage this film because I used the last of my brain cells to figure out a 20 minute movie title. Her brain was smoking over here. She was looking so hard. I'm telling you. We took a break and she's like for...

what, five minutes she's telling me. Give me more details. I do think Pearl's movie got the highest rating of all of these. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think she's got probably the best movie of all of us, honestly, except I can't say yours, Bill, because I haven't watched it. But go ahead, Pearl. Take it away. All righty. My movie, okay, has already been said, is Alone 2020.

directed by John Hames. A cold-blooded killer hunts a widow in the wilderness after she escapes from his remote cabin in a Pacific Northwest. We have Jules Wilcox who plays Jessica. Mark Manchaca, who only has, is referred to, man. And Anthony Held, who's Robert. This movie starts, we see Jessica packing up a mini U-Haul. to her station wagon. She starts her journey to a new location for a fresh start because apparently we find out pretty quickly her husband suicide and shot himself.

She doesn't even want to deal with her parents so she leaves early in the morning and she's on the road for a few hours. Decides to... answer her dad's call and he thought we'll be there tomorrow she thought well no i actually already left this morning checking in with them and then you know she

comes to find herself in the road leaving the city now after getting gas and snacks you know she now she's passing the bridge and now she's going into the wilderness part of the drive everything's going smoothly going okay until suddenly the car in front of her. Watching this we see that she's kind of annoyed.

She doesn't like how slow the guy in front of her is driving. So she wants to go around him. And you know how it is. It's pretty hard that if you try to go around you. Another oncoming car might be coming. So she tries to do it. But every time she tries to do it. She notices.

the guy speeds up just a little he's not letting her go go past them there's one brief moment where she finally says screw it going for it barely makes it because here comes a truck he's speeding up he's not giving her room but she managed to merge in and luckily you know she was okay He's still following her just a little on her tail. Like he's really close to her. Not honking, not doing nothing. Just really tailgating her. Until suddenly he just merges into another lane and then...

She's fine. She's like, okay, you know, guy's gone, blah, blah, blah. Gets to a gas station, more snacks, and she gets another call, this time from her mom. Decides to answer, says she's okay. When she notices a car behind her. You know, coming around and she's like, wait a minute, I recognize this car. But it just passes by. And so she's like, okay, you know, let me get out of here. She finds a hotel, you know, she decides.

you know spend the night she she gets up in the morning and the moment she gets up in the morning goes to her car also and she gets spooked because someone knocks on her car window it turns out to be that guy he's all hey You know, sorry I scared you back there. He said, I want to apologize. He said, I actually didn't see you were trying to go around me because I was texting. He said, I admit it. Blah, blah, blah.

He says his apologies and she's like, oh, it's fine. Let it go. And he wants to know all her business. Like, where are you going? What are you doing? And she's like, I'm just packing up, going somewhere else. And, you know, she's like, I really got to hurry up. So she leaves. suddenly like all of a sudden she sees him there like again i don't know how he got in front of her how how he got there first or what how he knew where she was what road she was taking or maybe there's only one but

He was stuck in the middle of the road. He said that his tank had blew out. He wants a ride. And she's like, I can't. And she thought... I can call someone for you or I can, like, I'll send word. And, you know, she doesn't do it. Leaves them there. Pisses them off. Then she stops at another gas station. Suddenly it's night. This movie keeps going.

quick day night day night as she's traveling and when she gets to the last gas station oh guess who's there and this time he ain't letting go this time he's showing his aggression and saying, you know, all I wanted to do, all I needed was help. And all I wanted to do was, you know, say sorry, blah, blah, blah. And she leaves, you know, goes to a road where it's dark and wilderness and boom, flat tire.

Where he takes advantage, he catches up to her, breaks the car window, knocks her out. She wakes up the next morning to find out she is in a secluded cabinet. She manages, let's just say she manages... to figure out a way while he's gone escape from that room and what and then he comes back and she hides in the closet while he while she's in the closet she hears him talking on a phone call that he gets turns out that he's a family man

supposedly on a business trip to California well he is nowhere near that but while he goes in the next room she takes the opportunity to run out and she definitely runs out and runs you know she manages to step on a twig that pierces her foot takes it out still runs he kind of catches up to her you know she falls into the water bumps into a guy that ends up like helping her and you know things escalate and he it causes the poor man's life from there it becomes a fight she finds her way

to getting a phone she finds a way to like getting a weapon she finds a way to like hiding herself even in the back of his trunk from there it's a fight to the finish the intensity of this movie the every moment that you see this guy trying to hunt this girl even in the middle of the night when she escaped and he's trying to find her i mean every single moment is

heart-wrenching because you're like oh he's gonna find her oh wait he didn't oh he's gonna get it no he didn't and you you feel that this girl's gonna die and She was clever enough to do a few things, and I give her kudos for putting the whole fight in this movie. I totally agree. How many times have you seen this one now? Probably my fourth time.

Oh, you've seen it before? Okay. So now I've seen it twice now. And this is good. This is really good. I don't know, Dave, Bill, if you guys have seen this movie. You know what? I didn't rewatch it. Unfortunately, but as Pearl was describing, I'm looking it up. I go, I have seen this. And I think it was back when I was putting together my list for 2020 that.

that that i saw this because everything pearl was saying sounded familiar and she's like she's like chained in a basement or something yeah for for a while and yeah i remember like her getting a hold of the guy's phone and his wife calling and yep that's the one uh yeah i i do remember this movie and i remember really being uh being impressed with it yeah this is a

this is a good one um and i i'm looking it up i have it on dvd it was put out by magnet um you know for the the uh the magnolia sort of genre label yeah uh so yeah no that i did yeah this is a good one i i did not get a chance to re-watch it so i'm going strictly from uh from memory here I rewatched it and I remember enjoying it. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into, but I love it because it's.

Sometimes I really like a mean movie, and this is a mean movie. There's no positive uptick to this movie at all. And you kind of... It's one of those ones kind of like, you know, a less gritty Henry portrait of a serial killer kind of thing where you're in their head and you see what's going on and you kind of figure it out and you're cheering for the girl to get out, but you're not.

if she's gonna because the odds are stacked against her and yeah the the twist at the end with the with the phone call was cool it's it's a need again it's another one of these one thing i love about survival movies is you really don't have to think too much you just watch and you get engrossed and as I said a good one means you care about the characters and this one

it had me right till the end so yeah nice yeah definitely check this one out i don't know what we rated this one back in the day pearl but did i even right i think i actually ranked this one Uh, recently, I think when we watched it, I gave, let me see what I gave it to on Letterboxd. Where would you rate this one at, Pearl? I would give this an eight. An eight? So I think it's kind of where, uh, did I actually rate this one? I had to.

No, I didn't. I'm wondering if it made anybody – well, no, you looked at the top list for 2020 and for – I don't think it made anybody's list, did it? It didn't. It did not. Okay. I do remember watching this when the listesses were made up. I do remember watching this one, and it did not make mine or anybody else's, but definitely a strong film.

Yeah. It's like Bill said, it's mean. It's not a nice film, it's a mean film. Yeah, like you said, once you realize what this guy is doing and that it's something he's sort of done regularly, yeah. For some reason, for me, he made me think of Kiefer Sutherland, which ended up making me think of The Vanishing with Sandra Bullock. Yeah.

it had that flavor of it well it's the one with uh what was the movie keeper sutherland is that the vanishing that's the one you're talking about right so yeah because he does look like jeff bridges and yeah jeff bridges was in if anybody's not seen that movie the van Definitely watch it. But he does look exactly like the Kiefer Sutherland character. The glasses, the hair, the mannerism. He looked like him the way he looked in An Eye for an Eye with Sally Fields.

That's how he looked like. I don't know if I remember that one. Where the daughter gets raped and Sally feels kind of tricks him. Okay. Yeah. Self-defense. Okay. All right. Well, there you go. Pearl, you got anything else on this one? No, I'm perfectly good. She's perfectly good. You're damn right you are, woman. I love my wife. All right, well, cool. Well, let's go to anybody got anything else to add to alone?

No, the only thing is, another movie that would have fit this category that reminded me a little bit of is that one from 2021, The Retreat. where the two where the lesbian couple goes yes yes and and and yes i i know which one you're talking about right and and and and somebody's got ulterior motives yeah yes one of one of them has ulterior motives

And there's a survival element with the forest. And that's, again, another one set out in the woods. That's the one it kind of reminded me of. That's true. Which one would you prefer? You know what? Probably alone, just because I like Mark Manchica. I think they're pretty good. True. He has glasses I had in grade seven. So you had serial killer glasses, eh?

I've always been thick. Okay, thick. Take that however you want. Let's go to two more calls here, and then we'll go to Bill's review, the last one of the night. Let's go to Derek Johns. Hey, Creeks. What's up? This is Derek Johns calling in from Canada. I hope I'm calling in with the right kind of a list that you're looking for survival horror. I kind of thought all horror movies were kind of survival maybe, but...

I don't know. I'll give it a shot here. No particular order except for my number one movie, I guess you would say, is from 2021, A Quiet Place Part 2. Then I have a couple from 2020 here called The Hunt. And hashtag alive. And 2023, I put when you will lurk. So I'm not really sure if that counts or not. But they're kind of on the run from the...

evil possession in their town. And then from last year, I figured I'd put Azrael, who I think is a really good movie. Needs a physical release, I'm hoping. um but anyway keep up the great work everybody there uh dave greg bill and pearl you guys do an awesome job thanks for what you do you as well pearl for all the editing everything you do Aw, thank you. And I'll call back for the next episode. Alright, bye.

All right, cool, Derek. You mentioned a lot. Hashtag alive. What a good movie. Yeah, I was thinking of that one, too. That's the Asian zombie film, right? Yes, and that actually made Pearls. Top 10 movie of that year. That was her number 5 for 2020. That is a good one. That's got a romantic element to it. It does.

People staring across the way looking at each other and having to get to each other. I'm curious, Kyle Bishop, Dr. Walking Dead, I have to look in your... catalog of of reviews you've done over there on dead men still walking yeah has he done have you done hashtag alive because if you have not the gauntlet challenge is out for you to cover Hashtag alive. There you go. I gave it to you, Kyle. Let's go to Victoria.

survival horror from 2020 to 2025. It's not my favorite subgenre, survival horror, but I found some pretty good movies, so I'll just list a few. So 2020, the only one I have is The Hunt, but I actually really, really like that movie. It was funny. It was just had an amazing, one of the best openings. openings of any movie. Not knowing who your main character was going to be, I just, I had a blast.

2021, I have one I recently watched the other night. I'm probably going to pronounce this wrong, but Gaia. That was a really good movie. Also from 2021, I guess you can call it survival or mad God. stop motion but I mean little guys trying to survive in that hellish world so I would call it survival 2022 I have just a couple nope consider that and

from a segment from VHS 99 to hell and back, you know, trying to survive hell. And it's pretty much in a good segment of that movie, at least in my opinion that I remember. 2023. I had Lovely Dark and Deep. That was a good watch. And 2024. In a violent nature, you would kind of consider the opposite side, like a different perspective of a...

survival horror, you know, from the perpetrators from the killer's point of view. And then I have No Way Up, which had a good concept and didn't really... nail it on the execution i like the idea and i'm extremely claustrophobic and i don't like being underwater so that did work for me and then underpairs which great um idea Not great execution, except I did really like the end. We're still in the beginning of 2025, but I'm thinking...

28 years later will be a good survival one, and then maybe the opening of Final Destination will be something about survival, something about the fires or something like that. But that's all I have. I just wanted to call in and hope everyone's doing well. I'll talk to you all later. Boom, Victoria coming in strong. Great list.

Yeah, some good movies. I always know she's going to put her research in there. And in a violent nature, it really was an interesting film. I mean, that one would be survival horror, but you're not following the survivors. following the people trying to survive. You're basically following the masked killer.

Yeah, totally. I was going to say, we would be remiss right now not to mention there were some horror Oscar nominations. Yes, there were. The Substance, I know for sure, got, what, four or five nominations? Including Best Picture. Yeah, Demi. Were there some others? I think Nosferatu might have gotten some technical.

nominations or for costume or set design something like yeah something like that yeah yeah but um but the substance is the big one and i really would be shocked if demi moore does not win the oscar for the substance seeing as she won the golden globe um the kind of a precursor now it doesn't mean she necessarily will i that i i think she would probably be the i'm looking at her as kind of the front runner right now but you never know

What's his name? Hugh Grant didn't get nominated, did he? No, he didn't. That's because that hit more on the horror side than the substance. There was no way around to change that category. Exactly. Pearl nailed it. You're putting horror and religion. into a movie and they're not going to go that route at all. No, the voters, even if he was nominated, he would have no shot of winning, although he probably should have because he was amazing in that film.

Anybody that's seen that movie, I don't know many people that has seen that movie would disagree with us saying he was Oscar worthy. I mean, before you see that movie, if someone told you, Hugh Grant is terrifying. Who would believe that? Nobody. When you look at his filmography, who would believe that? But he absolutely is. Yep, absolutely.

All righty, we're going to our last feature review tonight, and we're going to head over to Bill. We're bringing in the cleanup hitter. We're bringing in the anchorman here for the track team. We're bringing in the head, Chalant, here. We're bringing in the butcher himself. We've got to have some.

Somebody come in and butcher his way home. Bring this home in violence and gore, I'm sure. I don't know because I did not get to see the movie we're talking about tonight. But we're going to go to the trailer for his movie, which is 2024's Double Blind. now. Welcome to Blackwood Pharmaceuticals. Thank you for your interest in our phase one clinical trials. Blackwood are committed to innovation. It's a double-blind trial five days total really interested in now is how long you can stay away Yes

I heard a bell from a friend, easy money, right? Don't have a lot of other options, so. Young, broke, and desperate. It's a drug traumatic come off. Now, take a deep breath. Any dizziness? No. Nausea? No. It's their own antibodies that are causing the inflammation Everyone. Stay awake, whatever you do. Don't go to sleep. Don't even close your eyes. If you fall asleep, you'll die.

And Bill, take it away for the plot synopsis. All right, here comes the Carlos Delgado of Land of the Creeps. No, wait a minute. Carlos, come on, come on. Come on. Back it up. We're going to Oscar Hernandez of the group. Let's go. Oscar Hernandez when he was the Jays outfielder, sure. Oh, that's your mouth.

All right. Anyway, go ahead. This is your review. I'm sorry. I hijacked you. You can say whatever loser you want on your side. I could go back to Jesse Barfield. I could be the Jesse Barfield. Jesse Barfield. I'll go Jesse Barfield. I've landed the creeps. Anyways. when I approached this topic, I wanted to find one I hadn't seen just because, you know, this is a genre I love and I wanted to find something I hadn't. And I realized I hadn't, I was just doing a cursory kind of search.

And I was on Tubi. I was on Prime. I was on YouTube. I was looking around. And I found this one on Tubi called Double Blind. It says 2023, but it didn't actually come out until 2024. And it sounded interesting. So here's the IMDB synopsis. After an experimental drug trial goes awry, the test subjects face a terrifying side effect. If you fall asleep, you die. Trapped in an isolated facility,

panic ensues as they try to escape and somehow stay awake. This is akin to some of those films that you got. back in about 2009, 2010, 2011, where there's a bunch of strangers that have been put together in a room or a facility or a complex. They're not sure why they're there or... The true nature of why they're there doesn't get revealed until later. What this is a film about is a group of young 20-somethings are going to medical trials that you would get paid for to be a participant of.

I mean, everybody's heard those radio ads or those internet ads about, you know, you're going to make, you know, $120 a day just to take these pills or what have you. That's what this is. And this is for a corporation that's in the medical. game so this is something ongoing that they do so what happens though is they take place in double blind

experiments, which means nobody knows what treatment each other is receiving. So you don't know if you're getting a placebo, you don't know if you're getting the same one that the buddy beside you is getting, you don't know if you're getting the same dosage, and somebody's observing and watching.

now one of the ways they keep people in is obviously to pay them and as the experiment continues they up you know if you stay till the end you'll get i think they said 30 000 euros somebody's like woohoo because they're all getting in there basically because they're young unemployed or they have debts and they're trying to pay it off and they figure putting something in their body doesn't really acquire any skill now this seems too easy right obviously

And as the movie goes on, different challenges come up, different allegiances become obvious or ulterior motives get involved. Essentially. The people running this medical facility have dubious motives for this experiment trial. Essentially, they want to push the limits and see and observe what the effects of this medication is on them.

And it becomes a survival because at a certain point, one character does something on the computer system that puts them onto lockdown. So they can't leave for 24 hours. But if you fall asleep, you die. And so is it the best acted film? It's not the best, but it's intriguing enough. It's built on tension, atmosphere, paranoia.

I think there's like, I don't know, six or seven of them. So you're trying to figure out how many will survive, who will survive. There's not a ton of action, but it's nicely paced. And it also feels kind of trippy at times. There's elements of psychological horror. It gets overly dramatic and it relies on jump scares sometimes. And I felt it needed to get a little bit grittier.

uh you know more in the style if you're gonna do this kind of film do it more in the style like seven where it's kind of gritty-ish it's got a good heart to it i like the atmosphere keeps getting more grim As the movie continues, it gets more and more grim as it goes. There's some nice brutality towards the end, and it held me. I like the tone, dark and bleak.

You don't really particularly care for any of the characters, but you really want to see what happens. Would it have made my top 10 of the list had I've seen it? No. But it might have been 17, 18. So I gave this a 7 out of 10. And they did leave room in it for a sequel. But given how it plays out, I'm curious how that would play it. So I would say go check out Double Blind. It's a British film.

and it doesn't tax your time. It's literally 90 minutes on the nose. I love that it's an hour and 30 minutes. I did not get a chance to see this, and so I'm going by your words, and I'll definitely check it out. Seems kind of something I would... Kind of somewhat dig. But I do. I like Millie Brady.

And I think Pollyanna McIntosh, I've seen her in a few things. Yeah, I had never heard of the actress. Apparently she was in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. And there's some TV show called The Last Kingdom. I don't know who that is. Now, one actress you might know, Pollyanna McIntosh, is only in it for about 10 minutes. But she was the woman in The Woman? Yeah, see, that's where I was thinking. I figured that's why they put her in this movie then, is for her name.

a namesake because that's the one that I really remember the name on. But when you look at her, I remember her from The Walking Dead. Right. She played a character in The Walking Dead. Go ahead. She's not in very long. Go ahead, Dave. What was you going to say? You know, because I said I didn't get a chance to see this one. I'm going back. I saw this in December when I was binging movies for my... for my top 10 as a matter of fact i saw this was one of six movies i saw that day

And maybe that's why it's not, you know, I didn't remember that I had seen it. But I do remember that the one woman who was sort of in charge of this was trying to end it. And I remember her. she was doing a rogue she was doing a rogue operation yeah and and and she was trying to end it and they wouldn't let her like and i remember her being on like a conference call like a zoom type of thing with a bunch of

Bunch of people saying, look, we've got to stop this. This is, you know, and they would not let her do that. So I wanted to push the limits. They wanted to push it even further. Yeah. So I don't remember much more about it, but I had I did get a chance to see it. And I'm like, what?

I did. I going into this, I thought, boy, I'm really not prepared for this because I only I saw my movie and I sort of remember the hunt, but I didn't see either the other two. God damn, I saw all four of them. Jesus. wow so yeah i i this would i don't know it didn't even make it didn't make my top 20 but i don't remember like dislike i remember like actually enjoying it i thought it was a good film yeah yeah this is one of those ones you know where you take deep dives and

Hope to find like a diamond in the rough. This was a diamond in the rough. This was a diamond in the rough. Yeah. I love it. All right. Well, cool. Double blind Bill comes in with. I was going to say, I really think Pearl would enjoy this. Have you seen it? I've seen it, yeah. Oh, you have? Of course you have.

But I did enjoyed it a lot. I liked the main character. For some reason, it kind of had the same vibe as... God, I forgot his name that Rodriguez filmed. The Red Pill. I don't know if you guys remember that one. No. It looks, I know which one you're talking about, because it looks like the cover, too, if I'm not mistaken. It kind of looks like that. It kind of almost does, where this guy, you know, takes a red pill, and they're doing studies, and then he wants to escape kind of deal.

I was also getting some Flatliners vibes. Yeah, I have that too. Now we're intrigued. There you go. Double Blind 2024. Ian Hunt Duffy. uh like i said i mean i have no problem with the independent film you know grabbing a star and trying to just you know throw a name out there i mean if i was doing there's one actor in it called akshay kumar and if there's anybody here that's a star wars fan

He was in Star Wars Episode VIII, The Last Jedi. Okay. I'm not a Star Wars person, but those that are might recognize him. I've probably seen him. What was he, like a stormtrooper on the side? Ha ha! He was Guy at Bar. Guy at who? Yes, Guy at Bar. Absolutely. You had me going, Dave. I was like, damn.

No, I remember. I remember I've seen The Last Jedi. I remember taking the kids to the theater to see it. But I don't remember, you know, because I always talk to my kids after the movies. Hey, what do you think? And all that. I don't remember having a serious discussion. about a guy at a bar. All righty. Well, that is our feature reviews tonight. Once again, we had the...

Ready or not from 2019. We had The Hunt from 2020. We had Alone from 2020. And then we just had Double Bly from 2024. We still got about three more calls to get to. We're going to go to these. Let's see. Two. We got three. Four, because Brian Scott just called in. As we were sitting here, Brian texts me and he goes, are you guys tomorrow or today?

I said, we are right now. Oh, I better get on the phone pretty quick. It's funny because we're recording a lot sooner than we normally record. We're early this week. Yes, we definitely are. You'll get a few afterwards. Probably. We'll add them in. And I'm also going to go ahead and...

right now listeners uh you're going to see a little bit of fluffer at the end of this you're going to think well god y'all done why is there still an extra 30 some minutes because i'm gonna put the interview i did with russ myers uh not russ myers but with uh david gregory

from Severn Films, where we were talking Russ Meyer's Vixen Trilogy. Are you going to put the audio to it? Yeah, I'll put the audio on this. Which is really, really cool. David, and for anybody who hasn't, I know, Greg, you and I listen pretty regularly. Listen to the... Severin podcast. So good. I'm actually Gregory is on.

he is him and uh let's see who is amy and oh my god andrew and it's like it's like basically most of the people who work for separate they are that's basically what it is podcast and uh And, you know, I love those. Well, I was going to say the Arrow podcast, but that just ended. It just posted its very last episode ever. So that's done. I enjoy that one. There's a synapse podcast that posts a little irregularly, but that's a good one for these, for these labels, for the, you know, Mondo Macabro.

has a podcast out there um those are worth getting into because they're the ones who are still doing physical media yes and they're they're pulling out stuff that that normally you might not find i mean they're trying to find the really obscure stuff and and set Severin absolutely does that and knocks it out of the park. They're the ones who did that. All the Haunts BRs, that series. I think there's two volumes of that now.

Absolutely worth checking out the podcasts. And they end with music. That's another cool thing. Who was that? DJ Alfonso. Yep. You get to hear the music from the movies that they discussed. Like you'll play all this. It's really cool.

I was going to say, I like the interview you gave Greg because the guy from Severin, it was like this reddish... lighting background it looked really spooky yeah definitely if you haven't watched it it's over on youtube our youtube channel so go to our show notes at landthecreech.blogspot.com you can click on it if you're not following my youtube channel if you if you're not

Please follow it because I'm starting to post a lot more content over there. But going back to Severn's podcast itself, I got to totally agree with Dave once again on that. I will put that over on our side where we got podcast friends. Go ahead and link Severin's podcast over there to make it easy. You can just click on it. They basically release episodes as they release movies. It's like monthly. I think it's mostly monthly.

And they just released, they just announced today, guys, that they got their last two. So far, they were allowed five Russ Meyer films. They had already released the Vixen trilogy. They just announced today the two. Two new Russ Meyer films. Well, they're not new, but two Russ Meyer films to finish out the five that they were allotted. And the two is, the first one's called Up. which I think was 1975. And then the other one is called Motor Psycho.

Motor Psycho. So that's the two. You can get like a box set. I mean, there's all kinds of stuff you can get. You can go ahead and order it. But the reason I'm saying that is because if you go listen to the podcast. They break down every detail about these movies, the bonus features and all that. And like Dave said, at the end of the episode, you get the full musical montage of just like music from each of the movies. It's really great. It's super awesome.

awesome podcast i'll post it over there i listen to it regular uh great guys and gal and uh Yeah, but anyways, so I'm saying that to say at the end of this episode, we'll put the Russ Meyer Vixen trilogy interview I did with co-owner and co-founder and CEO of Severn Films himself, David Gregory. David Gregory, who... was also one of the original founders of Blue Underground. Yes. And he did some work with Arrow. And then they teamed up with William Lustig. Yep.

And then William Lustig sort of took took over a little bit. And David Gregory not not really took over, not not in a nasty way. It was almost like they just said, OK, you know, William Lustig sort of took it because he brought it to America. Originally, it was in England.

And then William Lustig helped bring it over to America and then sort of took control. But, you know, William Lustig obviously is a filmmaker. He's got other stuff going on, and that's why you don't really see too much new coming from Blue Underground, if anything at all. um as a matter of fact a lot of their titles are being re-released by other specialty labels at this point. But yeah, he's been involved with physical releases for genre films for...

Yeah, absolutely. Let's go listen to that at the end of the show. Let's go to Great Bitch. Yes, indeed, land of the creeps. I feel like we're all... stuck in some kind of a survival horror thriller type situation with all this crazy snow happening down in Florida and freezing, deep freezing temperatures throughout most of the...

lower 48 states of the United States. And, I mean, it's always cold up in Billstown. That's what he always tells us. You know, it's not survival for him. It's just a Monday. So, um, but yeah, I mean, this is a, I don't know. I guess it's just what kind of parameters would you put on survival or, I mean, it just, if it's truly. purely survival horror. I guess probably a good example of that is The Hunt, which I know was on the page on the Facebook page.

announcing the topic, because, I mean, that's basically all that movie's about, is them surviving, and then obviously, will they or will they not overcome their survival? But I mean... Would a slasher movie also count as a survival? Yeah, certainly, certainly, certainly. I know that we're probably supposed to only come up with five, but I don't know. I guess I just was attacked.

it at a different angle and just gonna suggest movies or movies that I thought may be worth discussing maybe not I have a feeling they'll probably be some overlaps obviously And so it'll be interesting to see which one movie or a few movies you guys review and what movies you guys bring up to mention. So there's one. I didn't write down any of the years. but I just wrote down a group of titles. We have No One Will Save You, Evil.

And Wrath of Becky. The Black Phone. Alien Romulus. Prey. Abigail. Pound Sign Alive. It's that one zombie movie. Alone. This is more of a thriller, but it's definitely on that cusp. I really like this one alone. It's about a woman that's just traveling, and basically this psycho serial killer type man is following her. and she's trying to get away. I don't know. I really enjoyed it. I'm cut off, aren't I? Yes, you are officially cut off now.

He knew, though. He knew, right? He knew. Well, that's because he is the bench. He knows. He's got an internal clock that's counting down in his head. He's made a science out of that. It's the same way we treat our liver during sporting events in between wash and breaks. Yeah, you know exactly when it's cut off. Let's go to his last call here.

Man, I'm just trying to get it all in one call. Of course, I don't know if I got cut off or what. I got a little paranoid there, so I just hung up, called back. I think I was talking about a loan. if I got cut off. 2020, a woman's moving from one destination to another when she encounters someone on the road that won't leave her alone. Well acted, which is what it is. Wonderful suspense. But I also wrote down, don't move. This was similar in ways, but this one's very sinister.

with what happens in it. And this one was from last year. And it goes far enough into the horror. Don't move. Again, it's just a woman that has some turmoil in her life. stumbles upon a total stranger, which just happens to be a serial killer of sorts, where he injects you with a numbing agent and then you can't move. But yet... Somehow they were able to tell a full-length movie with having her move in a roundabout way. It's actually very creative, and it definitely is suspenseful.

When evil lurks, survival horror, I mean, really, when you break it down to the bare knuckles, then you have that Y2K that was from last year. totally survival horror when you watch it. Totally Killer, that's the one that's a time travel slasher movie that I really enjoyed. Wolfman, that's the new one from this year, it's 100%. survival horror, and I wrote down the last voyage of Demeter. I mean, the whole premise is all about the ship that's transporting Dracula, Nosferatu, and...

Are they going to make it off the ship alive? I think I said Alien Romulus. I don't know. If not Alien Romulus, I mean, the whole Alien series is shrouded in, you know, surviving the horror. of the alien we're in space they can't hear you scream but we're keeping horror alive here at land of the creeps and i can't wait to hear this episode so we'll talk at you later

You know, he mentioned one and a few other callers had brought up that if I were, if I had paid attention and actually adhere to the rules, the movie that I would have probably chosen is the black photo. Yeah. Nice. Because that is just, that was so good. I mean, Ethan Hawke is great in it. But I just loved that story because, you know, and I know I said this because it made my top 10 that year.

When the phone's ringing at the beginning of the movie, it's like dread. You're like, oh, God, what's going to... what's going to be. But by the time it got to the end of the movie, you're hoping the phone rings. You want the phone to ring because of what it's doing and what it's doing for that kid being held there. such a such a such a good movie and i it's it's one of the ones released this uh decade so far the 2020s the one of the ones i want to re-watch the most

Yeah, I agree. It was such a good movie, and I'm definitely going to re-watch it again soon. I think I own it finally. Didn't we buy that one finally? We did not buy that one. Not yet. Do we not own that? No, it's on streaming, but yeah. I thought we owned that one. hmm we got to correct this love we gotta because black phone is absolutely one worth owning yeah yeah it's funny because there's certain movies pearl calls it her side and i literally in my uh

In my database thing that I use, I do own the black phone, love. You do? Yes, we do. Not on my phone. Spool one, no case. It says spoil one, no case. I don't know what that means. Dave, I think this is one that I got from you.

Oh, maybe. I think when we went up to Atlantic City, New Jersey, I think you had... Oh, in that book, yes. I had the DVD for it from the Blu-ray that I bought. Or maybe it's the Blu-ray from the 4K. I don't remember at this point. Yeah, it's actually the DVD. But yeah, that might have been one of the ones you... got okay cool all right so but uh we'll buy the blu-ray but what happens is is we got

basically I have my shelves of movies and then we got Pearl shelf. So when I put it in the database, which let me tell you listeners, if you have as many movies as Dave has, you have to have a database. If you got some movies like I got, yeah. You've got to have a database. So basically I use and check this out. Totally free guys. So I'm give you a little insight. If you go to, uh, uh, blu-ray.com.

Blu-ray.com has their own ability to where you can use their site as a place to hold your moves. I used to use DVD Profiler like Dave did, but it was burning up so much space on my laptop. that I couldn't do it. Yeah, I had DVD profile, and imagine what it was doing on my laptop. Yeah, and I couldn't get it to go over to my phone properly. So anyways, I used Blu-ray.com. I say that because I have all my movies in a certain shelf. I'll know which shelf it's on, so I know exactly.

where to go to. Plus, if I'm out looking for movies... I can look on my profiler and know if I have it or not, right? Yes. That's the biggest thing about it. Exactly. So Pearl has her shelf. Now, Pearl's shelf has all her movies, which could be anything from...

John Travolta movies to Rocky movies I have the good comedies and the action because I have more of those but she does have her movies that would be like misery stuff like that so I said that to say black phone she's like we don't have it because It'd be on my shelf. But lo and behold, it's actually on the sports. We'll get you a 4K over there, love. Anyway, move on. Let's move on. That was a lot of... Everybody's like, shut up, Greg. All right, here we go. Let's go to Brian Scott.

Hey, guys. Brian Scott, Horror Movie Fanboy here. Man, I'm calling last second for survival horror. And there's going to be a lot of good movies brought up tonight. And when I think survival horror, I think zombie movies. If I want to think my favorite zombie movie, I'm going to harken back to 1985. When I was a kid, I was probably 10 years old at the time. And my parents, I know I've told those stories before, but my parents took me to a drive-in.

And we saw Return of the Living Dead, 1985. Talk about a survival movie. I love a zombie movie where you board up the windows, you board up the doors. You have to survive the night. And what happens? Oh, boy. In the end of this one, it's not a good finish. If you were to survive this zombie apocalypse movie, it's not going to be a good one.

But, yeah, Return of the Living Dead. L-O-T-C for life. Oh, my God. That's beautiful. I mean, not only did Brian call it last minute and give us a survival horror. But like me, he didn't follow the rules. I'm not the only person on this show who did not follow the rules. I love.

Brian Scott. He is great. We talk daily and it's usually 80s chat. We're usually talking about his basement that's just full of 80s memorabilia stuff that he hasn't even gone through yet. It's insane. Karen had mentioned on a

chat that we have together, right, Pearl? I'll pull back the layer a little bit. She's like, Brian, you should start charging people to just come look in your basement. I would pay. We're going to try to get Brian rich. Everybody wants to go see Brian's because, man, he's got... Oh, God. Anyways, Brian, we love you. I love Brian. I ain't paying to go to his basement. Oh, I'm paying to go to his basement. I'll pay you, Brian. Yeah, we were just talking about the black phone. Right? That's right.

It could be barbarian down there. It could be. It very well could be. You got to be careful. You keep pointing the direction to the basement, you're going to get some, how do you call them? Froggers? Froggers might be in there. That's right. You never know.

All right, so we're going to go to our last call that we have as we're recording. This is the last call of the night. Then we're going to do our final outros and pass it around. And we'll have the David Gregory interview at the end of this. And if we have any more voicemails pop up, we'll put them somewhere in here. here if it sounds off it's just because they came in after we recorded and i'll put them in there anyways uh so anyways let's go to greg p and possibly amy lee

All right. Can you hear me now? I hear you now. Yeah. I'm sitting beside you. I can hear you. All right. Well, this is your gruesome twosome calling in for survival horror on the day of. So actually. As soon as I'm done with this, I'm just going to send it in to make sure it's done. Busy weekend. Finally getting to celebrate Christmas with my kids, so I was busy this weekend. But anyhow.

We'll go right to it. So your favorite movies out of survival from 2020 to now. The Black Phone movie. The Black Phone is a very good movie that we like a lot. The second comes out this year. I think so. Yes, very good movie. All right. What's his name? It was creepy as hell. Yeah, I know. Well, I happen to bust through this and not write enough notes. Everyone has seen these. Yeah, I know.

What we did watch was The Hunted. Because you hadn't remembered it. It's funny, I remembered parts of it. True. But it was a good movie. It was a good movie. So, yeah, that is probably my favorite of all the Survivor ones. And mainly because it was kind of like a sort of a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. You know, she had the red coat and.

And sociopath, psychopath was very much a wolf, you know, in sheep's clothing to start with. You know, he rescued her at the bar and whatnot. That's valid. Like I said, I felt like it was an excellent film. All right, what's next? The last John Wick flick. That would be a survival flick. Technically, it is a survival horror because, you know, people are trying to kill you. But there you go. I know it's not horror.

horror but it's a horror is it uh survival adjacent but it's totally survival flick because he like dies a billion times before he actually dies that's kind of true so i agree and it's very similar to some of these other movies that i want to pick from 2019 but that was not on here so anyhow all right and then you put in evil dead rise and which took me a minute to like but i did actually

Enjoy the movie. Really? Because we saw that in the theater. I liked it a lot, but I know you don't like gore too much, but I thought it was excellent. No, I mean, everyone did an amazing job. It definitely has that scare factor to it. And then lastly, we saw...

You're Azrael, Azrael, whatever, which I didn't even remember watching until the trailers. I know. We had to come up and look at it quite a bit. I'm like, oh, I remember that. And Samara Weaving does a great job in that, pretty much in a non-speaking role. and that is a good survival one because she survives the nut jobs of the post-apocalyptic cult so to speak so so

I know it's all movie, not shows, but survival shows would be Last of Us. That is a show that I cannot wait until it comes back. I'm with you. That is a very good survival show. And I love... Baby Yoda's dad. Baby Yoda's dad. Pedro Pascal. But it is an excellent series for survival. Oh, I agree. It's one of my favorite out there currently. Well, but wouldn't...

What's the other one we watch that we'd like from? Oh, yeah. That's definitely a survival horror show. I think we have some of those on. Yeah, we probably have some to catch up on. Yeah, it is an excellent survival show. If you hadn't seen this show, it is one where... People drive into a town, but they can't escape. They can't leave. So it's kind of like Hotel California. Hotel California. I think in the mouth of madness.

Oh, it's definitely got that going on because there's some crazy chisnit going on in there. Yeah, it is. But anyway, I very much like the show and surprisingly like the show more than I thought I would. But yeah, anyway, so those are my top picks. Yes, and you did quite well. So I guess with that, we're going to say good night. Night, guys. Good night. And we're going to start working on 1991.

Killer music, dude. I always love their music. That's always great. And some good movies. Black phone comes up again. I love The Last of Us. I always know when I hear their call, I'm not going to be asleep. yeah exactly i love it the last of us they mentioned which is hbo max show man that that i'm waiting for season two as well greg and amy

Pearl and I watched it, and it's freaking good. That is a great survival show. If you've not seen it, man, definitely check it out. It's based off the TV game, or the TV game, off the video game, The Last of Us. And so well told, man. It's such a good show. Cool.

So with that said, thank you, Greg and Amy, for calling in. Of course, I always love hearing from you guys. That is the calls that we have right now. So we're going to pass this thing around. This is our time to do our final thoughts and all that stuff. If you've got any other movies.

you want to mention, whatever you want, this is your time. But I do want to go to Dave first because we need to find out what our next episode of LOTC is first. So we'll get that and then we'll pass around our thoughts. Right. Well, coming up next, and this is something that that that Greg. Greg P sort of hinted at. It's episode number 415, our top five of 1991 with a very special guest, Mr. U Lloyd from Wales.

So what's going to happen is we're going to start around midnight for him, and he'll probably see the sun come up before wrapping this. But we thank him so much. I can't wait to talk to you again. And I'm looking forward to this. But I guess the real mystery, the real question about episode number four and 15, our top five of 1991. are what survival movies will kyle bishop call about

I love you, Kyle. This is awesome, man. Hugh Lloyd coming on. Man, I cannot wait. Undead Wookiee. We love this guy. So this is going to be a blast. And like Dave said, he's five hours ahead of us, so the schedule is going to be a bear. Greg, it's going to be tough for him.

I was going to say, Greg, is this on a Friday night so he can sleep in the Saturday? It's going to fit on what day Dave's got, so we'll see what it is. If it's a Friday night, it'll be a Saturday morning for him when we start. This is going to be fun, though. So you guys stay tuned and gals, man, Hugh Lloyd's awesome. And this is going to be fun.

So let's head over to Dave first. So Dave, what do you got on final thoughts of survival, horror, any other movies you want to mention, whatever, or plugs, however you want to end this. No, I don't have really any other movies.

to discuss i'm just going to cut my losses now um you know seeing as i didn't uh didn't play by the rules um i was actually very happy i actually did see all of the movies i thought i was completely unprepared um because uh i i hadn't i said i didn't get this i i remember greg's i didn't get to see pearls i didn't get to see bills but i did i'd seen them all and uh So that was makes me happy. And yeah, that's that that's pretty much it. And next time I'll read I'll read every.

note that Pearl sends and not just the topic. I'll look at all of the caveats underneath as well. So you can follow Dave. Give me your plugs, Dave. Oh, yeah. DVDinfatuation.com, of course. Still posting reviews over there. other podcasts, the DVD Infantuation podcast on considering the cinema. Also on considering the cinema is the weekly watch list. We just had one released, as a matter of fact.

And I do that with with Jay of the Dead and Count Macula, although on that it's just Jason Piles and and Mac Robbins. And we always have fun. We record that pretty much every week, I think. This one that Jay just released stretches into last year. You know, definitely be just because we record so far ahead. Yeah. But definitely check that out, the weekly watch list on Considering the Cinema.

And, of course, Jay of the Dead's new horror movies over there with Greg and a whole bunch. We just recorded the other day our top ten. of 2024 episode. I was actually the host of this one. Jay had sort of tasked me with being the host of this group. And joining me were Dave Z, Kyle Bishop, and Brian Scott. Who joined us for that one.

Making his Jay of the Dead's new horror movie debut. So definitely check that out as well. I know, Greg, you recorded your top ten. Who was in your group? We had. It was Jay of the Dead, Spawn of the Dead. and macula there you go all right so perfect so that is what you got so cool check out all these shows and i do highly recommend the uh considering the cinema definitely listen to the um

Here it is. It's the weekly watch list, and it can involve any cinema. So it can be any movie, any genre, anything. Any movies, whatever we happen to be watching. So if any of you are not necessarily...

Uh, you may have a comedy or action or a war movie or whatever, but if you're into that kind of stuff, man, definitely check it out. It's really good stuff. And, uh, it's timered. So it's not super long episodes. Uh, it was a 15 minute time. I think the one that just posted is like just about an hour.

hour yep just about an hour long yep so definitely check it out good listens so all right bill what you got my friend well this was a lot of fun with this episode because as i said this is already my wheelhouse And, I mean, even among my top ten from 2024, at least half of them are in there. I gravitate to these kind of films. I don't want to have to interpret consumerism in a film. I want to be able to watch a survival film.

And so I really, really love this. A couple that I thought of just kind of off the cuff as we were going. There was that movie a couple years ago. I know, Greg, you saw it. Spell? Oh, yeah. I would consider that a survival film. There's that one this year I know Pearl watched Don't Move. The woman who's paralyzed in the car when she's kidnapped.

uh it's on netflix it's not it's not bad it's not really scary but it's not bad uh escape the field remember that from a couple years ago and uh from two years ago would you consider the menu A survival film? Yeah. I would say so. I would definitely. Yeah, I would. Yeah, I would say so. Yeah, because they're all kind of trapped in that restaurant. They got to see what happens. It is endless. The possibility. I mean.

We could have listed every slasher going on in the last couple years. It's a genre that's tons of... ways you can go lots of rabbit holes so investigate some of the foreign films have some good ones too so jump into those i look forward to 1991 i've already kind of looked into some of them and I don't think any of us are going to have the same movies on our list for 1991. It's quite a diverse year, let's just say that. Anyways, everybody.

I hope everybody's enjoying themselves. If you're in a situation where you're down south and you're in the cold, just remember, get yourself a shovel. That's all you need. Get yourself a shovel. So maybe some salt. And not the stuff you're putting on your French fries, some stuff you can put inside. Anyways, everybody, you know, let's calm ourselves. It's a hectic time.

You know, everybody's going through a lot of things. Let's enjoy ourself. Let's be good people. Let's be kind to one another. Let's appreciate the things in life. And let's keep horror alive. I love it. Thank you, Bill. All right, Pearl, what you got in closing, love? I want to say this is fun. I think people should look into more survival horror, depending on their moods.

Personally, I'm going to stay away from crawl and grizzly and all that stuff because they scare shit out of me, you know, but I will look into like things like the day after tomorrow or the perfect storm, you know, those are. My kind of survivals as well. Or if not, you know, always go into windshield or something. This was fun, and I'm glad we did this.

theme and i am going to be getting into my letterbox more now i i'm starting to categorize the movies where they belong they might be so update but I'm going to put them in there. I am in the main LOTC group page and anywhere Gregor Morris is at. Nice.

I love Pearl. So for me, I don't really have any other movies to bring up. I think we kind of mentioned all of them, right? Oh, yeah. Or at least the ones I would like to mention. 1991, man, we'll see how it's going to look. I did a little skimming just, you know, shortly ago. on letterbox just to see a few and there's one that catches my eye that I want to see and uh scissors with Sharon Stone I don't know anything about it but

May not even be horror, but anyways. But, you know, Silence of the Lambs is in there, so we know that's going to probably pop up on a lot of lists. We'll see where 91 takes us. Get your calls in. It's 1-804-569-5682. Your top five horror movies of 1990.

is the next LOTC episode. We appreciate each and every one of you guys. We love you. Definitely check out all the podcasts that's been mentioned tonight. The Mondo Macabre, the Severn Podcast, all these different... shows i'll try to remember to put them over on the land of the creeps uh friends section over on the right side of the toolbar to make it easy where you can click on there for sure uh also man just Love one another, as Bill said. It is dark out there. There's a lot of...

And we love you. And if you need anything from any of us, we're just a click away. for sure. We're there for you. With that said, help keep horror alive. By the way, stay tuned. Listen to David Gregory and myself talking about Russ Myers. It's fun. It's a blast.

Big shout out to David Gregory and Severn Films. Love it. So with that said, we're going to get off here, help keep horror alive. We'll do that one movie at a time, one review at a time. Peace. Oh, shit. Dave's is 2019. I didn't even know it. I did not realize. I thought it was 2020. That's all good. It's all good.

Well, you're prepping up for the new one. Yeah, I didn't get to see Pearls. I didn't get to see Bills, unfortunately. But I watched mine again. I just watched it again just tonight, as a matter of fact. Nice. Oh, I can be an asshole, but I'm not an asshole, he saw, so... She listened to episode 75 of Horror Movie Weekly. What was the reasoning behind it again? For Jay's mom's, the unsane... The unsane review.

And it's cause Jay was talking about his mom, a certain, a certain story or something. So Pearl went to listen to it and she had never heard. Was it about the guy who was like living in their house with them? no it was living with his mother and when jay went to visit her No, it was from the movie I'm saying the one where like she turns herself into a mental rehab. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Or she's there and she doesn't want to be and she can't get out. Yes, that's Stephen.

What was the story with the mom? The story with his mom, he had mentioned on there that she was clinically depressed and taking meds. And I guess the fact that, you know... As a family, they talked about it and they said, you know, hey, you know, there's a facility two hours away from you. Why don't you go try it? It has a five-star, yada, yada. And so she's all, you know what, not a bad idea. Let me go do it. You know, so she went and do it.

And then he said he got a phone call hours later in the middle of the night. And she's like, Jay, you better get me out of here. And she also said, call my husband to pick me up. And he thought like, okay, maybe she just wasn't okay with it because of the fact like, okay, you know, she's barely in there and whatever. But I guess she had also told him.

I've been here for hours reclining on a chair. I am cold. I do not have a bed in the room. I do not have sheets. I do not have nothing. I'm thirsty. They have not given me water. They even have not even checked me. So, like, you know, she later calls again, almost near morning, and she thought, well, is he coming?

Well, you know, Jay's like, well, who's coming? He said, oh, my husband. Did you call him? He's all... well mama didn't you don't you have a bed because i guess jay had called the facility yeah and they said you know she's taken care of already so he thought okay everything was good Not when he got that second call. She never got anything. So what she did was she faked a heart attack so she can, like, get out of there. And that was her escape because she knew they were not going to let her out.

That's the reference of the movie. Wow. Oh, okay. Interesting. Well, I'd say I need to go back and listen to that, but I don't know if I will. I wonder why she was saying semi-husband. I don't think she was married after Jay's father passed away. Or was she? I think, no, not yet, I think. I'm not sure.

Because when was, let me look it up, Horror Movie Weekly. Bill's asking, are we ready? I go, yeah, we're waiting on you. Tell him I've already sent him a thing and it went through and he's supposedly in here. Tell him to accept it. I don't see him anywhere. It didn't pop up for him, he said. So you got to redo it. I can't redo it because it's already on here. It's sitting right up here. Two or three in the call. Bill VanVegel. Dave Becker.

Wow. I can't resend it to him. If I redo it, I don't think it will let me redo it. Well, maybe he's not looking, so I told him to go look. Yeah, and say join call. Yeah. Tell him to get off the hammock. Get over here. Tell me you had too many edibles. I know, right? Dave, guess what Severin released today? Up. Up and Motor Psycho. Nice. That's two more from, oh God, who is it? Russ Meyer. Russ Meyer. Yeah, Russ Meyer.

Yeah, they got up. When I talked to David. I actually have up, but it's a region B. But I do have that one. But anyway, go ahead. Yeah, right when you had that interview. Yeah, he had mentioned that they had five. And this is the five now. So hopefully these two releases will do great too. So she'll release more because I want Faster Pussycat. I have Faster Pussycat Kill Kill on DVD.

I want it on Blu-ray. I want that son of a gun done right. That's a really good movie. That's a really good one. He still says it isn't playing nice. Let me hang up, Dave, and I'll call you back in. All right. All right. Call you right back. What's that? You're going to be, man, I got a fucking ad for TV guide. This is crazy. Like, legit. Man, I'm going to read this to you because this is crazy. I did not know they even did TV Guide anymore. I didn't either.

So I get it right here. Regular price, $135.83. Your savings, $120.83. My rate for the whole year is $15. Now, $15 is for the full year. You get one year of 52 weeks of TV Guide magazine delivered to your mailbox. You get extensive primetime grids with nine new networks added.

TV in the last 60 years, and it's like 500 question answer type book. So I was like, that's fucking worth $15 right there. It's not bad. No, it's not. That's really something. so i'm looking at this thing i'm like i might do that but here's the here's the the

Catch on this thing. I'm going to call it a catch. It's not really a catch. I don't see a fucking website anywhere. It has one of these where you got to rip it off and send it in with your payment by check. And I don't even have checks. I don't write checks. Oh, that's sketchy.

Yeah. I'm like, I don't pay for anything. That's sketchy because you know what? That is... nobody does that anymore and you know what yeah they can't cash your check but they'll have you check an account number exactly routing number exactly so i'm looking here i looked everywhere on here nowhere on either one of these ads and it looks legit

but nowhere on here do they give a website now i i would look up tv guides website and see it just look up tvguide.com and see if they have anything about that out there yeah because i'm like they have to have a website yes Exactly. And I'm sitting here like, how in the hell are you going to try to tell me I got to send this in with a check? Yeah, that's really something. I don't even have a checkbook.

It's a very strange scam, but they will have your checking account number. Anybody who does that, they'll have your checking account number. It's always at the bottom of your check. One of the one of the funniest things I ever heard, and this was a scam. This was this like they were trying to figure out how to raise money in this movie called Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which is Guy Ritchie's first film. And the guy goes, I got a great plan. We put an ad out.

For the newest, what was he saying? The newest sex toy. New technology, new everything. And we said, for the low, low price of 20 quid. So people send in their payments. We collect them. We make up a name of a company like JG Manufacturing. And then when they send in their money. We all of a sudden send a letter out a few months later. Sorry, there was a problem with the manufacturer. We have to refund your money, but we sent it from our new account. What did he say?

queer queer cocksuckers.com or queer queer cocksuckers incorporated goes now tell me what guy's going to take that to the bank But they needed to raise money like three days or something. And the guy says, well, how long is this going to take? Well, the company's going to say about three to four months. He goes, well, that's not going to work for us, is it, wanker? Wanker. You wanker.

Oh, God. But then I'm thinking, like, you know what? You can probably make a lot of money if you do something like that. Right, yeah. Wow, dude. You wanker. I love to hear that. The wanker. Oh, this was hilarious. That movie, there was dialogue in that that was just hilarious. There's like... That same guy is trying to sell something to this guy called Nick the Greek who buys stolen stuff and sells it. And he's selling it.

He's selling it for speakers. And then, you know, Nick says, I don't know, seems expensive. And this guy goes, seems. Well, this seems like a waste of my time. That is 800 bulb in any store you're lucky enough to find it in. And you're quibbling over 200? It's a deal. It's a steal. It's the sale of the fucking century. In fact, fuck it, Nick. I think I'll keep it.

It's like, all right, all right, hold your all-in zone. See, what it is with Cockney, the way they do it is they'll throw a word in there that rhymes with something like the word. is associated to another word that rhymes with the word they're saying. Like, I don't know if you ever saw Ocean's Eleven with Don Chateau. He played a cockney in that. He goes, we're in a barney. And he's looking like barney.

bonnie rubble trouble you know that's how they do it they're like rhyme a word that's associated uh with a word like the one they're saying like when when the guy says all right you know all right uh Like if they say at one point, oh, God, I can't remember what it is, but that's what it is. They'll rhyme something. And it's very hard to pick up, but they know it. They know what the hell they're saying. Bill!

We have got like windstorms outside going on right now that like the National Weather Service has put out and it's wreaking havoc on the internet and shit out here. Oh, wow. We had these... uh doors that we pulled out of a closet you know like the slider doors we put them on the side of the house these are metal and wood they blew up and blew all the way over to our driveway no jesus So here I am chasing fragments of door.

I'm down the road. Although it's not as funny. It's funny. I saw an ad or a clip the other day of the southerners dealing with the snow. And nobody has any snow plows. Nobody has any snow shovels. Oh, wow. So some guy had his lawnmower with like a piece of cardboard in the front. Just pushing the snow. Wow. uh yeah uh dave actually i don't i just went to their actual website and i don't see anything where you even subscribe like i don't

No, see, that's it. There's a lot of every time you scroll down, there's a paragraph of something, and then there's a block in the middle that says, open, TV Guide, open. And it's, but it's like five times on their main page. I'm like, what the hell is this? There's TV schedules. I don't know. Yeah, it seems kind of. Yeah, it seems like it's a little. Seems a little sketchy.

Unfortunately. All right. You know what's really funny? A guy who worked with made a good point. He goes, you know, when you see, like, corn in your shit, you know you pulverize that with your teeth. How the fuck's it come out whole? Right. I got the same question. How? Like what? It reassembles?

I don't know. It's like a snake with its tail. It's crazy. It's just reabsorbed. That shit comes like four days later. You're like, fuck! What the hell? Now, is this conversation going to go in the bloopers? Well, you damn right. You damn right. right i'm putting corn in there yeah this is this great see everyone before we record we talk about shit and we mean that in both the literal

Why would I not? Anytime corn is mentioned anywhere, I will record it because it's funny. Okay. Corn's funny. It's funny. Hold on one second. What? Alright, it may be the owners. I need to see the fucking trailer. Yes, it's the owners. Yeah, because that elderly couple lives and comes home early, blah, blah, blah. Yes, that's the movie.

Thank you, Pearl. What was it? I just got back. What's the title? The Owners. The Owners. Okay, yes. I was thrown off by the fact you gave it a completely different name. yeah the fact that i was calling it the furies oh my god you were calling it the furies yeah yeah we get to say it when we come back so when we come back that's the first thing we got to say hell yeah and then we'll go to pearl yay jeez thank you pearl

It took me remembering, it finally hit me. I was like, wait a minute, the kids were breaking into the house of this elderly couple. Oh, and Dave, this one would have counted. Was it 2020? It would have actually been within 2020. Oh, my God. I should have chose this damn movie. God dang it. All right. Anyway. All right. Well, y'all ready? Yep. We literally, man, we're going to be, we're cruising two more movies and about four voicemails and we're done.

Hey, David. How you doing, sir? I'm all right, Greg. How you doing? I'm doing great. Thank you. Very good. I love the back wall. Thank you. That's my VHS collection since I was a teenager. It's been expanding a bit recently, but a lot of the original nasty tapes are ones that I got when I was a kid. Nice. Awesome.

man i really do appreciate you you know taking the time out for sure but uh i'll start recording right here in a minute and we'll we'll get into uh what i want to do is kind of get you out of intro I figured I'd talk about the Severn films, of course, and then we'll get into the vixens. Problem. And see where we can go from there, man. I do love the backdrop's awesome. Let's go ahead and get this started here.

Recording in progress. All right, guys and gals, Greg Amortis here from Land of the Creeps, and I'm super excited. I have a special guest on this show right here tonight, and it's Mr. David Gregory. co-founder of Severn Films, as well as the CEO of Severn Films. Welcome, Mr. Gregory. Thank you for having me. I feel like I should call you Sir Gregory.

I feel like you're like... I'm not a big fan of the monarchy. I don't think that'll work for me. It don't work. Here's the thing. You're single-handedly making me go to the poorhouse. Hey, well, it's going towards a good cause, believe me. Absolutely. But we're super excited tonight. The main purpose of tonight is we're going to be talking about the Vixen trilogy that just released recently. I have the disc in my hand here.

We'll talk about them here shortly, but I think we should go ahead and introduce you, Mr. Gregory, like let the people know that may not know you exactly who you are and how you Severn Films got started. Well, Severn Films has been around since 2006, so it's our 20th anniversary next year. And...

I actually was working for other labels before I started Severin. I started with Anchor Bay when I first came over to the US doing extras for Bill Lustig and then went with Bill Lustig when he started Blue Underground. for the first few years of Blue Underground. I was working with him. And then me, John Cregan, and my old school friend, Carl Daft, decided we could start our own label, which is Severant Films. And now...

However many hundreds of films we've licensed since, here we are, and no sign of slowing down, thankfully. I'm super thankful, too, because of the releases that you have been putting out. Even... I mean, early on, but in 2024 alone, what you put out, the content has been insane. Like, literally the opera from Dario Argento, that box set.

yeah was mind-blowing that was my favorite release of any 2024 releases that that was just beautiful and uh i'm glad to hear it we put we put a lot of work and a lot of money into not just restoring the film but creating the whole package yeah like literally i have my sunglasses right here on the shelf and i still got my shirt not actually wearing

of course the uh slave had to do the uh cannibal films but but super excited to have you on tonight but the movies we're talking about man we're we're talking about the vixen trilogy right so we had vixen one which was uh what 1968. and then we have of course super vixen which is my favorite by the way of the three we've got super vixen 75 and then 78 beneath the valley of the super vixen these films

Yeah, Ultra Vixen. I'm sorry, Ultra Vixen. I got to ask you, where did this all begin? How did we get into Russ Myers? Where did that come about? Well, we've been trying to get Russ Meyer's films for years. Even before Severin even begun, I was kind of involved with other labels who were trying to get the films to actually upgrade them.

them for DVD back then. But but the Russ was deteriorating, you know, his health and his mental health was deteriorating then. So nothing really happened except kind of some basic DVDs. were put out officially by the Russ Meyer Trust. But they were taken from the old video masters, which Russ had created in the early 80s, basically. So they were state of the art in the early 80s.

when he was distributing his own VHS and beta tapes of his movies. But, you know, technology has moved on quite a bit since then. And the estate... the trust the rust my trust who just been kind of figuring out what to do with with the films and uh and eventually we were able to come to an agreement with them to release five of them and this is the first three so we know we got two more coming

soon hopefully which will be in that which will be announced actually uh next week oh see i was super excited that was going to be one of my questions because there's several russ myers films i really am hoping come to light fruitition if you say and i'm sure you're you're in the hunt for getting more i'm sure

Yeah, so we hope so. I mean, basically, this was kind of the trial run with these ones to see how we all got along and how the workflow went and all that kind of thing. And so far, so good. I mean, we've got along great.

with Janice from The Trust and working together on making sure that these films are immaculate, you know, in their presentation. I mean, we've gone to... bigger lengths with the restoration of these than we do on some of our films, you know, because they really are, you know, they really are American cinema classics and really need to be, you know, seeing as they've been out of circuit. speculation.

I mean, I would argue that they have never had like a proper home video release. Of course, at the time in the 80s, it was State of the Art, as I said. But I think now is the first time that you can actually.

see them looking the way that they should have looked you know being transferred being scanned from the original negatives and presented in their original aspect ratios yeah absolutely that's one thing the picture quality in these films are stunning like just the blu-ray alone looks crystal clear i can only imagine 4k of course looking even better uh i was just they're absolutely eye-popping and sitting with janice from from the trust and watching them is

It has been always funny in some parts, you know, as we're commenting on the films as we're going on about, you know, Russ's bawdy humour and his outlook on and his attitude to sex. and life in general and American life in particular has been extremely enjoyable. But the bottom line is just seeing these films, you know, in that kind of clarity has been a real joy.

Yeah, no doubt. And I'm hoping she does see that that us fans are like just blown away. Like you have treated these movies as good as anything could be treated. And I'm actually shocked because these movies were in obscurity, right? Like you. if you had a vhs you were doing great and i would just wonder except they weren't back in the back in the 80s and the 90s they were everywhere because russ was distributing them himself and they were you know and

Virtually every video store had some Russ Meyer movies in their famous red cases that he designed. But it was after that that they fell into it. you know but again using those same standard definition old transfers from the 80s so so yeah so they've and they've been out of circulation since then simply because Russ you know got sick and

And since then, they just haven't really known what to do with the films. Or maybe they knew what to do with the films, they just hadn't found the right home for them. i feel like they found the right home now so i mean we still have i'm happy to hear that man we hope they feel the same there's so many like faster pussycat kill kill there's so many movies that you know that he had done that i really want to see and

And I'm excited. I'm super excited for where it's going. Let's look into the actual releases. The first one being Vixen. I just really, I had never seen any of these, honestly, David, until this release. So Satin, you know, my wife and I. popped it in the uh blu-ray player and i started watching i'm just my mind is just going in a million directions i'm like what am i having in front of me i mean it was such comfort food it was glorious but the picture quality but i'm sitting here watching like

First thing you see is Erica Gavin looking stunningly beautiful in HD quality, right? And then I'm watching the movie progress, and I'm like, wow. The world needs to see this. I'm glad.

you guys have gotten a hold of this i'm glad that you are treating it like it is because this is cinema man this is fun absolutely is and i'm not being facetious when i say he's like one of he's one of the most important genuine american independent filmmakers that that there is and and arguably the independent filmmaker because he basically did everything.

Right from the development stage through to distribution. Not many independent filmmakers can say that they wore so many hats and had so much control over their work, with the exception of the films that he used. did for the studios right i know i've heard you uh i listened to the severed film podcast by the way and

Listeners, listen to Severn Films Podcast. You'll absolutely love it when you release episodes. But I know y'all had mentioned about how that back in the day you could get VHS or get movies from Russ himself, you know, be invited to the home you all get.

Can you talk a little bit about that? Were you one of the lucky ones that actually got to go into the Russ Myers home back in the day and say, hey, I want a copy of this? I never did it back in the day. I remember the company that I worked for, a video distributor I worked for.

for in england back in the 90s right after i got out of school i remember the boss there telling me how he called the number up on the on the back of the vhs's that are over here and was surprised that russ was the one who actually picked up the phone And Severin co-founder John Cregan, who was a big, big Russ Meyer fan, he also just called that number when he was a teenager just to speak to his hero, Russ. And, you know, Russ in his kind of gruff, but...

but encouraging way, just gave him some words of encouragement about wanting to be in the film industry and it meant a lot to him. But no, I didn't get to go to my house until recently, long after Russ had passed away. But I'd seen it in the Incredibly Strange film show, which is included on the Super Vixen's disc. And, you know, just that kind of museum of plaques that he had of memorabilia from his entire career.

some of which now are adorning my office wall. But a lot of that had been taken down, even though you could see the layout of the place was obviously the same. But that stuff was taken down. on the advice of the nurses when he was deteriorating that, you know, that much stimulus actually is not good for him. A lot of it was actually in a was was in a room.

at the back so then we've taken a lot of those out and at some point we'll be doing an auction for the pieces that are left all like one one of a kind unique pieces that he used to have on his wall his home museum that's so cool it had to be so surreal to walk into that room and to see you know the the

allness of what was going on yeah well of course and that's that's where he ran the business out of you know and uh you know that's where he would take those phone calls that's where he would ship the uh the tapes you know there was still a lot of uh a lot of the rap for the vhs tapes were still you know stacked so so we managed to get some of those to give in the bundles for people who buy from us directly see that's the way to do it man i'm telling you uh here with vixen i gotta say vixen

Awesome movie. I'm going to be honest. Man, the special features that you guys did for this one, first of all, being the archival commentary.

with with russ meyer himself i thought was brilliant like just to be able to watch a movie and hear russ talking in your ear it's so freaking cool and even though it's not and he was and he was in like proper gruff russ uh mode at that point so he's giving you just kind of the bare minimum uh but you know but you do feel like you're you're hearing it you know you're sitting and watching it with him

which is really nice exactly and then you brought in erica gavin to bring in the commentary which i thought was spot on like she was very candid uh such a beautiful lady even today man and i'm just like blown away listening to her talk about the movie and and you can hear the excitement in her like watching the movie over i don't know who yeah yeah erica's fantastic and erica said so we did some extras back for the arrow dvds which came out in like 2000 and

five or so. And so we had interviewed quite a few people for those. And unfortunately most of them are now gone you know i mean we did do the the the faster pussycat piece with haji and tourist satana and susan bernard who are all now no longer with us lori williams is is still around but um you know and then

And Charles Napier, who's on the Super Vixens disc as well, you know, no longer with us. He got his start with Russ Meyer. And those were, at that particular interview, we'd shot for Arrow, but never edited because Arrow decided they didn't want it. in the end. But we did edit that piece with Erica Gavin and Harrison Page for Vixen back for the DVD, which we've also included here. But Erica and I got along

well, so it just made sense to do a new commentary with her. And as you hear, she's not afraid to tell her recollections, warts and all. She's very candid. I appreciate that. Yeah. so then you go from there and then you have the uh uh what was um you had the will there be uh no what i'm sorry i was looking at the wrong look right here greg no you had another uh uh the other no man serum

fumbling around there. You mean the piece with Mark Hoyk about the Cincinnati band? Yes, thank you, because that was what I meant to mention. I feel like it's such a goofus. Yeah, no, that piece is great, and I think that was... That came about at the suggestion of Mark Magai, who talks about it, because he's a film archivist, a former projectionist, and he actually, in his collection, had that print that was confiscated by the police from that theatre in Cincinnati.

And so we built the Andrew Furtado, who you'll have heard on the podcast with me, who's our post supervisor and really the savior of so many of our... It keeps us sane, let's just say, because it manages to manage all the pieces that come in for all our various releases, which is a huge, huge amount of stuff.

know andrew is i can't speak enough about how important andrew is to uh to severin and what we do uh but he uh directed that one and he put that together with mark and and i think he did a fantastic job story and it's still banned to this day in Cincinnati we're actually working on

getting the first ever legal screening uh going in in cincinnati that's crazy i hope it happens but such a great 13 minutes 34 second interview on that thing that was awesome yeah like really good but i think my favorite was the uh David DeVille, the sinister image. I really enjoyed that feature on here. I thought that was really...

really eye-opening and enjoyable. So it's really fortunate that people like David DelValle, who've worked with on many discs before, and he's a friend of the company, and... and you know somebody who's been a collector of horror and cult movies memorabilia for years but he was also you know he did his own

public access cable show which was short-lived unfortunately but one of the guests was was uh was russ meyer and that and he still kept the uh the footage so you know for us that's essential that that you know we get things like that because you know there is no more rust so so you know you couldn't get that otherwise we also got that one from beneath the valley the ultra vixens which was on a

which was on a show in Tucson, Arizona. And the lady who interviewed him in Tucson, Arizona, who is now an elderly lady, you know, she came... uh to the office to the server and office to talk about you know having russ on as a guest and how kind of progressive her talk show was that she would have you know

guests on who would talk about sex and sex films and and prostitution and and things like that so you know she she talks all about that and then very specifically talks about russ including one just hilarious story she tells you do not expect little old lady to uh come out with the verbiage that she does it was amazing ellen adelston or adelstein and when she says

I started laughing so hard because of the, we know what happens in that moment that they're showing on the teaser trailer. I cracked up watching the special feature. I'm just burst out laughing, thinking, wow, that was hilarious. But I think we also had the incredibly strange film show as well, which was was was an essential at the time. It was an essential way to actually learn about filmmakers like this because there really wasn't that much.

in terms of video documentaries about people like Russ Meyer at that time. And The Incredibly Strange Film Show ran for two seasons and a third season had a different title. People like John Waters, Raiden Estekler, Ted V. Mickles, Ed Wood, Jackie Chan, even back then, wasn't as well known as he is now. So there were episodes on these people. And so that was really where I learned.

I already knew and I think I'd already seen Faster Pussycat Kill Kill when that episode aired. But that's when I got to learn about who Russ was and actually hear him speak. And so to have that, to be able to license that episode of that.

groundbreaking show was also a pretty big deal for us yeah and it's an awesome feature for sure um so vixens great super vixens like i said it was my favorite because of charles napier and it was very very violent like it's a violent uh adult fun film i get is that can you say that like violent adult fun i mean kind of because i mean obviously he's he's influenced by by looney tunes i mean there's so much dynamite and in the desert and and you know the quick cutting and

sound effects i mean he's definitely going for cartoonish it uh it's it definitely i would say it by certainly by today's standards it crosses certain lines that you wouldn't get away with now but all of his films kind of do that and you know I don't think that's a reason to not like them I mean you know they're definitely up for discussion and are a product of their time but I mean I think more importantly these are

very important American films, you know? They truly are. And Shari Eubank looked stunning in the movie. So, of course, I haven't heard, but the special feature where you had the archival interview with Charles Napier is worth... all three of these movies by itself. That one interview was just mind-blowing how candid and open he was.

That's my favorite feature of the whole trilogy. Yeah, no, I loved that. And the fact that that had sat on our shelf unedited for almost two decades, it was great that we were able to actually dust that off.

and finally get it out because he obviously we all know Charles Napier for the character actor he became in some huge huge movies but really he got his big break from working with Russ and he admits that in in the piece uh we actually have another actor and one of the ones we're announcing next week uh also now deceased uh who also talks about how you know he got into movies because of russ i'm super excited i can't wait for the release because i know

be purchasing for sure i'd actually just got this in the mail today the ed wood collection that just literally also has an incredibly strange film show on it as well i mean that's that one you know those those movies the the the hardwood films i mean that edward was you know like it or not he was making adult films at the end of his career and they are very edward and so you know if you're an edward aficionado it's a great set to get i mean it's a as amy who

here also an essential part of the team she loves depressing porn and that's kind of what they are and But again, the special features disc is not to be missed on that because we've got an incredibly strange film show, but also, you know, Dana Gould and Bobcat Golfway give a read. They're huge, huge fans of Ed Wood. I mean, Bobcat has like a tattoo.

of ed wood you know so it's uh uh the two of them both very funny men talking about their love of ed wood is is pretty great i can't wait to crack into that one uh beneath on ultra vixens man what an outstandingly funny funny movie that just really is insane right this movie is the one that is the wildest in my opinion the wildest the story being you know the lead character can't have normal sex he has to go through

maybe a little bit less of the right way, right? He was, let's just go back door. We'll keep it clean. But man, that movie was so fun. So fun. And it's the last movie that Russ completed, certainly on film. And, you know, he was really still.

uh it was still kind of at his peak of his powers but um you know just stopped making feature films made the drive-in market probably died down or whatever it was that made him stop doing it video market came in he certainly made a fortune during the uh video era so maybe just concentrated on that but uh you know beneath it even promises you know more to come at the end

But that's the end of the line. And funnily enough, that was the one that, well, not funny at all, but that was the one where the negative was actually quite damaged. So we had to do extra restoration on that. And I think... the point that we got it to actually is uh you know almost as good as super vixens and fix it oh it's beautiful yeah there's no complaints at all in picture quality uh and the interview you had with kitten not to be known oh my goodness

Now that was, now you talk about being candid. Somebody who's uninhibited. She beats around no bush. She lets it out and I loved her. We know that if you'll listen to the interview and I want all you to. definitely pick up the movie and and check out the interview but you'll hear her talking about her time with russ you know she was married with what five years i believe yeah well they were together i don't think they were ever married but yeah they were

They were a couple for five years and stayed close for the rest of his life. That's awesome. So all these interviews, all these special features that are on this movies right here are phenomenal. I'm telling you, I went all out. I love that you kept the kind of like the VHS. I see your VHS behind you and how y'all kept it kind of just like the VHS release. I love that.

I thought it was real. There was no other way as far as we were concerned. That was something that the Maya Trust wanted to make sure that it was contractual, essentially, that we kept his graphic design sense. and that was no problem for us. We love the way these movies look. The way he marketed these films was, you know, the Russ Meyer way, so I want to stay after that. Is there anything that you would have done different or anything you would have put more on here if you could have?

time constraint or whatever you know i wish there was more people still alive who were there you know making the movies but but there aren't you know and that's that's the that's the that's the struggle with uh the more the older these films get the less likely you're gonna to be able to find people who are lucid enough to talk about them. But, you know, I think we got what we could and also the fact that there were archival interviews with Russ and, you know, that's important to us.

So, yeah, no, I think there's a, you know, we do generally do a lot of extras on our discs. So, you know, these might seem that it's like not as much as we would usually do. But I don't know. It's like compared to, you know... uh most other labels that's still a pretty substantial slate of extras i think oh yeah absolutely i'm i'm thoroughly enjoying all of them i've seen all the commentary or listened to all the commentary seen all the special features and the I think you've done a bang-up job.

I'm sitting here like, man, these things look as beautiful as they could ever look. So I'm highly recommending these. Once again, it's Vixen, Super Vixens, and then you got Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens, man. I'm telling you, these three films, watch them because I really know that...

The painstake that y'all took to make these come out is so worth it. And if you don't know who Russ Meyer is, you can definitely watch these movies and listen to his commentary, see some of the interviews and get a taste of them, right? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And, you know, people know him now mostly for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, which is one of the two studio pictures he did. But honestly, I think as much as I enjoy that movie.

These are much more pure Russ Meyer. Yeah. So do you feel like, I know you got five, you got two more coming out, you done announced. So we can't say that I'm sure on air, but you'll find out. Stay tuned next week. Next Monday. Yeah, exactly. Stay tuned. to the severin films uh social media and website i cannot wait for that so uh your hopes are how many more you want like can you let it out of the bag is there we want to we want to do them all but we only have actually locked in at this point.

that we announced next week that's it as far as the uh as far as what we've actually signed for at this point well good i hope it comes out man i cannot wait dude i'm so excited so let me ask you this now you you what is your holy uh your holy What is that one white whale film that you got left that you haven't released yet? Do you still have one that's just eluding you?

or do you feel like you've kind of accomplished what you've set out to do thus far i mean it used to be blood for dracula uh but uh we got that uh thanks to our friends at vinegar syndrome think what else would be i mean i suppose fast to put to get kill kill would be one of them but that i can assure you that's not in the next two right so so so you know there but there are there's i mean there are plenty of films which are still you know which is still in need of thing and and

releasing so you know we've got an enormous slate of films that the biggest problem that we have is actually getting them to the finish line because there's so many uh not just the restoration of the films themselves or getting the elements scanned in other countries Once you've done that, there's still a bunch of extras that have to be produced and they're small kind of, you know, movies of their own, you know? Right.

And we like to do them well. So it becomes like a big, big, every release is kind of a big project. Yeah, no doubt. I mean, how long did it take you to do like each film? Is there a way to... really narrow that down like just say for vix in general yeah not really because i mean some of them uh we can turn around very quickly like if for example there's there's one studio that we that we license films from and they actually deliver a very good

final master as part of the deal so those we can generally turn around much quicker but that's not more often than not that's not the case we have to uh sometimes we even have to find the elements because the owner of the film doesn't know where the negatives are or or a decent print is and so it's up to us to find an element and

and then scan it and restore it and do the color correction on it. So that all takes time. And then we have to, usually concurrently, we're working on the extras and shooting people wherever they may be around the world. Thankfully, there's enough people. people who do this in every territory that you know if we've got somebody in some strange parts of the world where we we're not going to fly for one interview

I mean, it may not be strange. They might be in Sydney, Australia, for example, as was the case with an interview we just did. But, you know, we've got somebody in Sydney, Australia who can coordinate and shoot that interview for us.

That's good. Yeah. Oh, I will say that there's several films that the rights is not the issue. It's finding a decent film element. So the... the regional slasher film unhinged from portland oregon uh is one that we cannot find even a even a release print so the best possible master at the moment is is a commercially released vhs tape so you know that's obviously not good enough for blu-ray right so

We're still on the hunt for that, but it's not looking good. Well, let's hope it just pops up in somebody's garage somewhere in a trunk of a car or something. They're out there somewhere. It's got to be. Let's pray for that. one from from the earl owensby studios a 3d movie directed by worth keeter called hot air which uh which you know again that nothing exists on this film so it's on the verge of being a lost film oh my god i'm so excited for

for people like yourself, you know, companies that are saving these films from obscurity, right? Because unfortunately, a lot of films are doing this. A lot of films are fading away. They're deteriorating, whatever. So, man, I'm super excited for seven films. and for your company, what you're doing. Because you are bringing us films. I mean, as much as I, you know, like...

Of course, Hardwood. I mean, who would have ever thought Hardwood would be coming out? Great Alligator. You didn't even know when you wanted it, but now you have it. And here it is. I mean, The Great Alligator you released this year. I mean, these films like this that... that are just mind-blowing to me.

Slave of the Cannibal God, Eaten Alive, all these movies that you're releasing. I just want to say a big, huge thank you for doing what you do and your partners and your team. You know, you've got a great team behind you. The podcast that you're part of. I mean, the podcast.

is amazing every time you do a good release you come out with this just amazing podcast episode that's so i just absolutely love it then you got the music at the end of it which i think is a great just little added feature to each show so I highly recommend people subscribe to the podcast because that's really where all the new announcements, it's not just the new announcements might drop in terms of the specs and the cover, but it's through the podcast that you get to learn.

bit more about you know what went into actually making bringing these to uh to uh to the market yeah absolutely you get to hear amy talk about how that super vixens just Yeah, yeah. She got very emotional talking about Russ Meyer, which is quite right. As she said, I think she said something like, you know, I get very emotional about great art. You know, you can't fault that.

That is great. So once again, listeners, definitely get your hands on SevernFilms.com. Get your hand on Vixens. Get the Super Vixens. I'm telling you, my favorite of the trilogy right there. It's gold. And then, of course, Beneath the Valley of the Ultra.

vixens man all three of those are classics must own part of the bosom mania uh line i guess you would call it there russ myers i actually picked this up too and i'll do this real quick because i know you got to go and uh but i picked up this book here which is big bosoms and square jaws I think just to read more about Russ Myers.

That's Jimmy McDonough's book, the same guy who wrote the ghastly one about Andy Milligan. So, you know, it's full of full of salacious stories and and all kinds of information about very deeply. researched information about his life and career. Absolutely. You can also do worse than getting a clean breast, which is Russ's three-volume autobiography. It's massive.

But it's also extremely expensive. It's very hard to find a copy now. A clean breast. I will definitely search it out because I definitely got to get it. So this has been amazing having you online. And I want everybody definitely, once again, Severin Films. But do you got anything that you want to plug or any outlets that you would like to press right now for the listeners?

I mean, I would just say keep your eye on and follow Severin Films on Facebook, Instagram and the website SeverinFilms.com. Twice a year we do a... we do a sale so some of the older titles you can get much cheaper than they are the rest of the year but that's also when we drop like 10 new releases as well so you know that's kind of the most exciting time of the year for us uh but yeah just uh
