    NECRO 252 SPEAK NO EVIL

    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.

    Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill

    NECRO 250 THE SUBSTANCE

    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.

    NECRO 249 TERRIFIER 3

    Damien Leone began the saga of Art the Clown over ten years ago with the short film collection All Hallow’s Eve. Terrifier, the first feature length film hit the streets with a grim, brutal update to the classic slasher archetype and the mayhem continued in 2022 with Terrifier 2, upping the ante with cruelty, dark humor and extreme violence but with the introduction of a deeper storyline and mythology.  This year’s Terrifier 3 is, by all estimations, a box office hit.  Listen in on our discussion of the biggest horror film of 2024. Does it get the Necro Seal of Approval?

    NECRO 248 DEAD ZONE

    On the heels of the 2024 Election, it felt appropriate to cover Dead Zone directed by David Cronenberg.  Based on the novel by Stephen King, the film seems eerily relevant today.

    Outro: “Walks Alone” – Cows

    NECRO 246 STRANGE DARLING

    It seems like this film came out of nowhere and has been garnering quite a bit of attention.  STRANGE DARLING is JT Mollner’s second feature length film that explores serial murder, possibly the tense relationship between the sexes and madness. SHOT ENTIRELY ON 35 MM, this film is also Giovanni Ribisi’s cinematography debut.

    NECRO 244 SALEM'S LOT

    We’ve been waiting over 3 years for this new version of Salem’s Lot, the Stephen King 1975 classic horror novel. Back in 1979, Tobe Hooper was first up to adapt the novel in his made-for-tv miniseries. In 2004, Mike Salomon brought The Lot to us again with another miniseries featuring Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer and Rob Lowe.  How does Gary Dauberman’s feature film measure up?

    NECRO 242 EYES WIDE SHUT

    This week, we go back to 1999 to talk about Eyes Wide Shut, the final film by the great Stanley Kubrick. Based on the novella “Dream Story” by Arthur Schnitzler, Kubrick weaves a tale of deception, anxiety and murder as the 20th century comes to a close in New York City.
