Ah, the 1970s. You’ve given us so many movies to suffer through. What more could you offer? Turns out, the 1970s can offer us a bland movie about Rock Hudson using mad science to save a dog’s life. Which is fine. Only he then decides to use the same science to create a total babe who wants to “learn” about …
“Satan’s Cheerleaders” should be about blood, murder, and so on. Instead it’s a very bouncy story about cheerleaders chased by a fat guy.
Today we end our malformed Halloween season with a look at Brian De Palma’s trippy musical extravaganza, “Phantom of the Paradise.” Before Andrew Lloyd Weber gave the world his lesser-known version of Leroux’s famous novel, the bell-bottomed population of the 1970s was subjected to this prog/folk acid trip. The plot concerns a weird and disturbing composer who is maimed and …
Critters is a movie that once terrified young Jason to the core of his cynical little soul. Now he returns with Adam and Jade to find out if it has that scary staying power. Join the gang as they watch the 1986 horror (comedy?) Critters on Hindsight is Horrifying!
Young Adam is back! And mysteriously, Adam B. is missing… But let’s not get bogged down in ‘who killed who for a guest spot on a YouTube show.’ Instead, let’s watch the sequel to Sam Raimi’s debut film (and the best horror sequel ever), Evil Dead II. Dead by Dawn!
Yes, Prince Humperdinck battled Chucky, but at least he didn’t have a date with a 6-year-old boy… It’s officially Halloween, the spookiest and most magical season of them all. And what better way to celebrate the unholiest of high holidays but with the movies that scared us witless when we were younger? That’s right, #Hindsighters, Jason has raised a new …
“Ted, we don’t have time for a tourniquet!” – Darth Jader In case it isn’t obvious, the huge selling point of Shark Night is that Ted from Schitt’s Creek is in it. Beloved #Hindsighters, your fearless gang is back from their spine-tingling adventure with sharks at the Georgia Aquarium. In honor of Darth, Jason, and Adam’s first underwater adventure together …
Tremors: “This Valley is Just One Long Smorgasbord.” In 1990 America, no one could ever have predicted that a movie about subterranean penis monsters would not only attract the acting talents of Kevin Bacon and Fred Ward, but also inspire almost as many sequels as Highlander. For real, what Freud-obsessed writer decided to create a film franchise featuring the leviathan …
The Evil Dead: “Join Us!” #Hindsighters, the Halloween Spooktacular continues amidst movies and shows that scare, delight, and disturb. On this particular episode, Darth and Jason join Meg and Young Adam in discussing The Evil Dead, one of the most iconic Halloween films of all time. “I’m an artisanal cheese maker and my husband binds books made of human flesh …
The Conjuring: “She’s Already Gone…and Now You’re All Gonna Die.” What’s a violent ghost in comparison to an upside-down mortgage? In the continued exploration of what will frighten Darth to the very depths of her soul, we discuss The Conjuring, one of the highest grossing horror movies of all time. The Conjuring takes place in a time when your diagnosis …
Shivers: They Came From Within! (Phrasing, boom!) Hindsighters, steele yourselves for bodily and sexual mutilation in Shivers, where super-rapey parasites take over the residents of an upscale condo. In David Cronenberg’s wildly disturbing directorial debut, we venture back to the swinging 70s, when the women were braless and there was an ashtray at every elevator. Seriously, tune in to this …
