Most Messed Up Movies of the 90s
1w ago01:23:29Tap to summarizeThe 1990s gave us meta-slashers, satanic spaceships, exploding hookers, body-swapping action heroes, teenage witches and enough Nicolas Cage insanity to sustain an entire decade. Griffey, Heath, Sam, Sophia and Nick battle to assemble the ultimate team of messed up movies from the '90s. Scream, Event Horizon, Frankenhooker, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, The Craft, Candyman, Face/Off, 12 Monkeys and Hocus Pocus are only the beginning. Was the '90s actually an underrated horror decade? Is Event Horizon secretly a Warhammer movie? Does Hocus Pocus belong beside Fight Club? And which combatant walks away with the strongest four-film lineup? Watch the episode, examine the evidence and tell us who won the draft in the comments.

1w ago00:39:45Tap to summarizeThe original ending of Jeepers Creepers was supposed to continue far beyond the police station. At Days of the Dead Indianapolis, original Creeper actor Jonathan Breck and creature effects artist Brian Penikas reveal the massive 15-minute climax the production could not afford to film, including a battle atop the Creeper's truck and an oncoming train.

Transcribe →Rabbit Trap
1w ago00:53:14Tap to summarizeToday Griffey and Dandino belly flop in to the fairy circle that is Rabbit Trap. They discuss the spell the film puts us under with sparse settings and poetic tradgedy, how to handle an odd pushy little kid and his rabbit offerings, and what the mossy fairy tale ending wants us to take away from the movie. Dev Patel always has a keen sense for interesting material and this is no exception. Join the pod in this art house sound scape. Synopsis: Married couple Daphne and Darcy Davenport are two musicians who moved from London to a cottage in Wales to complete their new album. By accident they record a mystical sound never heard before and gradually disconnect from reality. Starring: Dev Patel, Rosy McEwen, Jade Croot Directed by Bryn Chainey Youtube: https://youtu.be/kEnbBvugXqY Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
Transcribe →Exit 8
2w ago00:49:55Tap to summarizeToday Griffey, Heath and Sam scour a scary subway tunnel for anomalies in Exit 8 now on Shudder. They discuss the rules of the film and how they keep the audience stuck in the narrative, how the journey could have used more clues as to the real world stakes of this journey, and which of the horrors the tunnel unfurls scared them to their core. Liminal space is all the rage in the horror community right now. While this film doesn't quite hit the MESSED UP heights of Backrooms, there are moments, if you look close that do. Synopsis: A man becomes increasingly desperate when he realizes he is trapped in a subway station, needing to complete a mission to get out. Starring: Kazunari Ninomiya, Yamato Kochi, Naru Asanuma Directed by Genki Kawamura Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
