Martyrs (2016)

Running Time: 86 minutes

Release Date: January 22, 2016

Review by: Stacey

 

Yes, they have remade Martyrs.  I feel like I have to start off saying that because apparently a lot of people didn't know that this was even a thing.  From the time that news broke that the Goetz Brothers (Scenic Route) had already filmed the movie- shocking (and pissing off) everyone- it didn't stand a chance in the horror community.  The French 2008 original, which is usually lumped into the category of "French extreme horror" (Inside, Haute Tension, Frontier(s)) and one of my absolute favorites, left a pretty big impact on the folks that have watched it.  And for good reason- that shit is brutal, and dark, and haunting, and heartbreaking, and and and... you get the idea.

Oh yeah, we're talking about the remake, right?  Yeah, that version wasn't any of those things.

Lyle (2014)

Running Time: 65 minutes

Release Date: July 12, 2014

Review by: Stacey

Usually if a movie mirrors too much of an earlier film and isn't a remake, we're gonna have some problems.  That would be said about director Stewart Thorndike's Lyle if it wasn't so damn good.  What we got was a modernized take on Rosemary's Baby without it feeling like a total rip-off.

New Year's Evil (1980)

Running Time: 90 minutes

Release Date: December 26, 1980

Review by: Stacey

"Don't dare make New Year's resolutions...unless you plan to live!" A tagline I can get behind!  New Year's resolutions are for the birds, anyway.  Instead of telling yourself that you're going to start working out more or hating people less (that's going to be a hard one for me), why not ring in the new year by escaping a crazed killer calling himself "Evil"!?

Horror Huddle with Stacey-Beth & Ash: #TBT with Tales of Halloween and Thanksgiving horror!

I know, I know, it's only Monday but if I waited until Thursday to post these videos that have been collecting dust, Ash would have my head on a stick.

That being said, this is going to be a two-fer.  Exciting, I know!

For our Tales of Halloween episode we have Demonika Devour back on and it's a loooonnnng one (55:22)!

If that's too long for you (you should really still watch bc you love us), check out our ep on Thanksgiving-related flicks, Thankskilling and 1987's Blood Rage.  This time around Ash and I finally get together in person and not only manage to keep our babbling limited to 20 min, but we also crafted a stupid turkey hat for me to wear.  That warrants a pity watch at least, right??

Enjoy and leave some feedback!

Amber Alert (2012)

Running Time: 80 minutes

Release Date: November 2, 2012

Review by: Stacey

Holy shit, this movie pissed me off so much in a way that I didn't think was possible just from watching a movie.  I think the last time a movie made me legit angry was when I saw Kevin Smith's Red State (for obvious reasons), but Amber Alert was aggravating to me on a whole other level.

The Vanishing (1988)

Running Time: 107 minutes

Release Date: October 27, 1988

Review by: Stacey

Wow, that was a depressing doozy to watch.  The Vanishing (or Spoorloos) is a Dutch-French film that proves it doesn't need blood and guts to be horrifying.  There's a realism to everything about the film that will leave a lasting impression on you well after the ending credits roll.
