This week we go back to our favorite era, the 1970’s to explore a film featuring one of our favorite actors, Donald Sutherland. We visit the horror-adjacent genre of 70’re neo-noir for Klute written and directed by Alan J. Pakula #necromaniacspodcast #horsemenofthepodcastingapocalypse #necrothursday

This week we go back to what is arguably the greatest era of film, the 70’s. 1973 brought us Don’t Look Now, directed by Nicolas Roeg based on Daphe Du Maurier’s novel, starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. The strange tale deals with loss, grief and anxiety and is set in the brooding atmosphere of Venice, Italy. #necromaniacspodcast #horsemenofthepodcastingapocalypse #necrothursday

This week, we take a break from talking about all of the great films of 2024 and go back to the early 80’s. The Changeling was released in 1980 to relatively lukewarm critical response. The film featured the sublime, veteran actor George C. Scott and tells the story of a composer dealing with the loss of his family who sets up residence in, you guessed it, a haunted house.

If you listened to last’s week’s best of 2024 episode, you will know that we are quite fond of this movie. Rober Egger’s Nosferatu is a powerful film, possibly a career milestone for him. His previous movies, though critically successful, have fared modestly with respect to box office sales. So far Nosferatu is a commercial success, so hopefully this will make life a little less challenging for Eggers.

Happy new year everyone, we’re back to kick off 2025. This week, you get Mike, Mike. Jeff AND our fellow Horseman Brandon Legion of the HorrorWolf666 podcast. 2024 was a landmark year for horror films, so many great and original films were released this year. It was a real challenge to come up with our Top 6. In pretty much any other year, any of these top 6 could be a number 1.

The creepy, uncomfortable 2022 original version of this film rated high with us. The Danish film directed and written by Christian and Mads Tafdrup was an intense study in dread, anxiety and tension. Do we really need a remake only three years later? Enter James Watkins who brought us the brutal Eden Lake back in 2008 to see if he is up to the task.

What a year 2024 has been for horror! This week, we discuss THE SUBSTANCE, the satirical, body horror written and directed by Coralie Fargeat. You may remember Coralie from her 2023 revenge film, aptly titled REVENGE. This time around she is teamed up with heavy hitters Demi Moore, Dennis Quaid and relative newcomer Margaret Qualley, all delivering outstanding performances.
