2 Guys And A Chainsaw - A Horror Movie Review Podcas...

Scary Movie (1991)

Released on 10/31/2023

This fascinating movie was a labor of love for 19 year-old writer-director Daniel Erickson, who seemed to bring together the entire acting community of Austin, Texas, to fulfill a piece of his vision. Starring a fresh-faced John Hawkes, Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster) and a supporting cast of nobodies, the film has a lot of grit and heart, but ultimately...well, we thought it was a bit of a slog, despite the shock ending. Still, Halloween spirit abounds. If you've ever enjoyed a haunted attraction in rural America during this time of year, this will at the very least transport you right back to that place. Happy Halloween, everyone! Stay safe out there.

Cemetery of Terror

Released on 10/24/2023

We put it to our Patrons to choose the last two movies of the month. We're happy to announce that the first of those films is this Mexican flick from the 80's that is almost like two movies in one: It begins life as a standard slasher, and wraps up as a Thriller-inspired kid's flick. It's not perfect, and it's certainly derivative, but Cemetario del Terror hits the mark when it comes to pure Halloween-style joy. Thanks once again to the collective wisdom of our loyal Patrons!

The Exorcist: Believer

Released on 10/18/2023

We head to the theaters to give our take on a contentious movie, The Exorcist Believer. And we're delighted to have our returning guest and old friend, Heather, join us to give her take as well. How does this sequel stand up the original? And how does this first installment bode for the trilogy of Exorcist films that David Gordon Green is bringing into the world? Early reviews have not been kind. Where will the three of US fall on the spectrum? Listen up - you may be surprised....

The Lady In White

Released on 10/14/2023

How did we ever miss this one? We tackle a spooky ghost tale that just sits perfectly for the Halloween season. Not only does it center around Halloween night, but it's one of those "kid horror" flicks that we have a serious soft spot for. Long requested by loyal listener and good friend, Heather, we're excited to discuss this overlooked gem of a movie that we OURSELVES somehow never managed to catch until now.

Gothic

Released on 10/05/2023

We could've just as easily chosen Gothic for our Julian Sands tribute episode, as he puts on an incredibly bold and melodramatic performance, along with some opther stellar and emotional acting by Gabriel Byrne, Natasha Richardson, and Timothy Spall. This is a dramatization of the historically true party night between Lord Byron, the Shelley's and others which inspired Mary to come up with the story for Frankenstein. Truly a movie to be experienced!

The House By The Cemetery

Released on 09/29/2023

Is this a hidden gem? Or just a dumb schlocky mess? Listen and pick a side, then let us know YOUR feelings in the comments!

The Platform

Released on 09/19/2023

How does The Platform hold up in 2023? Have a gander at our hot take. Cheers to the capitalists out there!

Maniac Cop

Released on 09/14/2023

This week's schlockfest is the classic cable TV staple, "Maniac Cop", written by our fave Larry Cohen and directed by Warren Lustig of "Maniac" fame. Loads of familiar faces in this one, and some pretty impressive stunts for a low-budget movie. Enjoy!

The Bad Batch

Released on 08/30/2023

Although technically a cannibal movie, it's not much of a horror flick after the first 10 minutes or so. A star-studded lineup only added to the mystery of why we had never heard of this movie before. Is it worth your time? Listen to find out!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Released on 08/26/2023

Would you believe he did a horror movie? Well, technically it's a horror comedy, but of course Craig was chomping at the bit to discuss one of his favorites from long ago. AND to gush over the incomparable Mr. Reubens - with perhaps more of the latter than the former. Enjoy!
