100 Horrors (100 Horrors)

Hollywood: The creative centre of the universe... until it runs out of ideas and looks to the East for already successful Japanese movies to remake. I'll be honest, I'm glad they did this. Gore Verbinski's 2002 remake of Ringu (The Ring) is one of the last few films on this poster that I absolutely love. Gorgeous cinematography, excellent narrative pacing and a scene where a horse gets churned up by a ship's propeller, there really is something for everyone here. 

This week we set our recorders up all around the house, ready to capture the 100 Horrors team's opinion on Oren Peli's found footage classic Paranormal Activity. Widely toted as one of the scariest films of all time, does this film still stack up after all this time? Tune in to find out!

Space. There's loads of it. And there's stuff in it. In an infinite universe, everything eventually is true. If the universe is infinite then it means some of the stuff in space is the white stuff that falls to Earth from Jupiter and starts making copies of everyone like the stuff in Phillip Kaufman's 1978 remake of the 1950s classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It also means that out there somewhere there's a version of this film that isn't as boring as all Hell. Yeah. It's gonna be one of those episodes...

In this episode we discuss Dario Argento's 1977 cult classic Suspiria.

"The Cube" is a Canadian science fiction thriller film released in 1997, directed by Vincenzo Natali. The story revolves around a group of strangers who awaken to find themselves trapped inside a mysterious and deadly cubic structure, devoid of any apparent exit or entrance. Each room within the cube is booby-trapped with various lethal traps, creating a high-stakes puzzle that challenges the characters' wits and survival instincts.

The film follows a diverse set of characters, each possessing unique skills and personalities, as they struggle to decipher the cube's perplexing patterns and search for a way to escape. As tensions rise and conflicts erupt among the captives, they must find a way to work together and use their individual strengths to overcome the sinister challenges presented by the cube.

Throughout the film, themes of trust, paranoia, and the nature of human behavior under extreme circumstances are explored, adding depth to the tense and claustrophobic atmosphere. As the characters progress through the ever-changing maze, they gradually uncover the truth behind the cube's purpose and the reason for their entrapment.

"The Cube" has garnered a cult following for its inventive premise, psychological elements, and mind-bending plot twists. It has become a symbol of low-budget sci-fi creativity and continues to intrigue and captivate audiences interested in unconventional thrillers.

Released in 2022, Barbarian follows Tess, a woman who rents an Air BnB in a rough part of Detroit only to find that the guy who plays Pennywise also has the place booked. While yes, this is by no means the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone in an airBnB, Tess is still understandably upset by this and so they spend an awkward night getting to know one another. It naturally turns out though, that they are not alone in there... But Barbarian isn't just a film of frights and shock value, it's also a powerful commentary on a complex social dynamic in the wake of the #MeToo movement giving the film a dimension that a lot of modern horror *CoughSMILEcough can only dream of. Amazing performances from Justin Long, Bill Skarsgard and Kathryn Hunter push this film to the top of 2022's best horror list, and an interesting slit narrative firmly cements it there, but does that actually mean that we liked it? You'll have to tune in to episode 112 of 100 Horrors to find out! Overall, Barbarian is an experience that will leave you breathless and terrified, but also give you plenty to think about long after the credits roll. So if you're a fan of horror films or just looking for an intense, adrenaline-filled ride, Barbarian is a must-see.

In our final episode of season one, we (and around 55 of our friends!!) took over Off The Ground Coffee Shop in Middlesbrough to watch Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Released in 1980, Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is based on the work of Steven King. Set in the Overlook hotel... ah you know what, who cares? WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 100 EVERYONE! THANKS FOR BEING THERE WITH US!! 

On this episode of 100 Horrors we discuss the 1982 exploitation flick Basket Case. Made on a budget of $35K, this film has divided opinions since its release. It did the same with us. 

In the distant future, the crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo are on their way home when they pick up a distress call from a distant moon. The crew are under obligation to investigate and the spaceship descends on the moon afterwards. After a rough landing, three crew members leave the spaceship to explore the area on the moon. At the same time as they discover a hive colony of some unknown creature, the ship's computer deciphers the message to be a warning, not a distress call. When one of the eggs is disturbed, the crew realizes that they are not alone on the spaceship and they must deal with the consequences.

Cemetery Man is brought you by request of the wonderful Mr Ahimsa Kerp.

This week we dive into 2022’s Speaker No evil, a film that demonstrates passivity through politeness so intensely that even WE think it we would have spoken openly of our displeasure with the situation, and were British! Speak No Evil comes highly recommended by our wonderful followers over @100Horrors and if you would like to recommend a film, please do! We’re always on the look out for hidden gems like this one, and so we welcome your input!

Which is the worse Friday? The one the kids in Sean S Cunningham 1980 genre cementing slasher flick have to endure while vacationing at Camp Crystal Lake, or the one that Rebecca Black subjected us all to that summer in 2011? We know which one we’d vote for, but as you know by now, our ability to rate anything is sketchy at best, so our answer is surely going to alienate the majority of the population! Anyway, it’s Friday!!!!

This week we discuss Misery. The 1990 one. Based on a Steven King book. 

Tonight we explore the extent to which alcohol is an influencing factor on our rating system.  Clive Barker's Nightbreed is a hodgepodge of serial killer who-dun-it cliche, heavy handed Larbythian costume design and some of the quietest whisper acting ever committed to film. After watching this film through the lens of a couple of IPAs, one of us nearly gave this a seven. Is this the wake up call we've been looking for? Or is it actually a cry for help after watching almost 100 awful films? Tune in to this week's 100 Horrors to find out! 

There but for the grace of God goes Maud, a reclusive young nurse whose impressionable demeanor causes her to pursue a pious path of Christian devotion after an obscure trauma. Now charged with the hospice care of Amanda, a retired dancer ravaged by cancer, Maud's fervent faith quickly inspires an obsessive conviction that she must save her ward's soul from eternal damnation - whatever the cost. Making her feature-film debut, writer/director Rose Glass cannily lures the audience into this disturbed psyche, steadily setting up her veritable diary of a country nurse for an unnerving and ultimately shocking trajectory. Morfydd Clark portrays the sanctimonious Maud with an intense stoicism that belies a disquieting vulnerability, as Maud desperately vies for absolution and solidarity from her embittered patient. Glass tenderly captures this relationship with an empathetic gaze that first assumes an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere--but before long, Maud's dogmatic candor incites an irreconcilable friction that spirals her mind into a suffocating confluence of creeping doubt and paranoia. As Glass tightens the screws on her misguided martyr, well-placed nods are made to religious horror forerunners like William Friedkin's "The Exorcist," further contributing to the film's increasingly dread-filled malaise. And when this insidious fever climatically breaks, the consequences are devastating and terrifying in equal measure

Remember a time before it became cool to identify as a wiccan? Remember the time before it became the done thing to burn sage in your house, keep crystals in your pockets and collect tarrot cards like they had little Charizards on their reverses? Do you remember a time when witches stole babies, ground them up and used their guts to make their brooms fly? Thankfully, Robert Eggers remembers. Join us this week when we discuss the 2015 masterpiece, The VVitch.

Doctor Jeckyll is a man obsessed by the notion that each of us is made of two parts. One part of us is good, caring and empathetic. The other is blunt, crass, violent and rude, fuelled by narcissism and a set of hedonistic base desires. He creates a potion that brings out the bad side, allowing it to fully take control of the whole person and run riot for an evening before retreating back into the whole by morning. Doctor Jeckyll could quite easily have saved a lot of lab time by simply necking four cans of Special Brew and a bottle of Lambrini, but I suppose the 30s were a different time... Released in 1931, Doctor Jeckyll and Mr Hide, Rouben Mammoullian's film is a surprisingly good tale of good and evil. It was also released "Pre-Code" which means it's raunchy as, so do give it a watch if you get the time!  TWO MORE EPISODES TO GO GUYS! 

The term "modern classic" is thrown around all too often these days, and 2014's Annabelle is no exception. Directed by John Leonetti, Annabelle is a prequel (who doesn't love those, right?) to 2013's The Conjuring. Both films are based on the sordid lies of the Warren family, and so you can disregard everything about this being a true story. Honestly, look at the doll in this and then google "the real Annabelle doll" if you want to see just how far creative license has been stretched here. For a better time, watch Child's Play. Its the same story, its just done right...

Vegans. I can’t help but feel they’re hiding something from us. Yes, they’re right that we as a species contribute to the suffering of animals for culinary gain. They’re also correct when they tell us that the land used to raise these animals is taken directly from land desperately needed for rainforests and that as meat eaters (particularly beef eaters) we’re destroying the planet. What I think they’re not telling us though, is that there’s a very real chance that one day Plants will be able to walk around at very slow speeds and will shoot stingers into us that will turn us green. Thank god we have a film like The Day of the Triffids to warn us of this! Papa Joe Fodor joins us this week to discuss the 1962 creature feature!

Any race has the potential to turn into a death race, but one in which Silvester Stallone races a turbo charged fair ground ride against a Neo-Nazi, a naked lady and man who's sexual deviance will ultimately cost him his life has a higher potential than most. Paul Bartel's Death Race 2000 explores a world in which sport has evolved into knocking down pedestrians for points in a race across the U.S.A. It's crass and its bombastic and its incredibly entertaining, but it is NOT A HORROR FILM. Serious, why are we even discussing this one!? Tune in to this episode of 100 Horrors to find out!

Dogs are hard. Soldiers are hard. DOG SOLDIERS ARE PROPER HARD! Join us this week as we delve into the directorial debut of British directing powerhouse Neil Marshall. 

This week we delve into another film by Stephen King, only this time we wrote the book, wrote the screenplay AND has a cheeky cameo in it as a priest. Honestly, it's a bit like that Dennis Waterman sketch by the Little Britain guys, only this has a few funny moments in it... Tune in this week to find out whether sometimes dead really is better! 

This week we tackle our first werewolf movie when we discuss John Landis' 1981 "An American Werewolf in London". Is being mauled by a werewolf the most painful way to die? Tune in this week to find out our thoughts on the matter!

This week we tackle Spielberg's 1975 creature feature Jaws with the help of rising music star and (more importantly, our good friend Patrick Jordan!

Look, just because something is the first of something, doesn't make it the best of something. If that were true we'd all still be walking around with mobile phones the size of house bricks and we'd be defecating over into in our back gardens. That does not detract from the fact that Romero's Night of the Living Dead is quite clearly a very important film, I'm just saying that its not the best film we've ever seen. Its not even the best zombie film we've ever seen. Its not even the best of Romero's zombie films we've ever seen. Tune in to this week's episode to boil your blood at how harshly we score another classic. 

Released in 2008 and directed by Bryan Bertino, "The Strangers" is a spine-tingling home invasion thriller that has cemented its place as a classic in the horror genre. With an uncompromising commitment to building suspense, an eerie atmosphere, and the power of relentless simplicity, this film has stood the test of time and continues to terrify audiences more than a decade later.

The film's premise is deceptively straightforward yet profoundly effective. It revolves around a young couple, Kristen (Liv Tyler) and James (Scott Speedman), who retreat to a secluded vacation home for the night. Their peaceful evening takes a nightmarish turn when they find themselves at the mercy of three masked intruders. The film's strength lies in its ability to wring suspense and terror from the simplest of elements, often leaving audiences on the edge of their seats.

One of the most noteworthy aspects of "The Strangers" is the absence of a traditional musical score. This decision by the director, Bryan Bertino, adds an unsettling layer to the film's already tense atmosphere. The lack of music makes the audience acutely aware of every creak, every whisper, and every ominous sound within the house, enhancing the feeling of vulnerability and isolation.

The masked intruders, with their eerie, expressionless visages, are unforgettable. Their motives and identities remain shrouded in mystery, adding to the pervasive dread that lingers throughout the film. As a result, "The Strangers" isn't just a typical home invasion thriller; it's a relentless game of cat and mouse that gets under your skin and refuses to let go.

Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman deliver powerful performances that are pivotal to the film's success. Their chemistry and emotional portrayals make it easy for the audience to connect with their characters, amplifying the terror as their world unravels around them. You genuinely feel their fear and desperation, which adds a layer of emotional depth to the film.

"The Strangers" played a significant role in the resurgence of horror as a respected genre in the late 2000s. It inspired a new wave of home invasion horror films and influenced the way directors approached building suspense and terror. It was a milestone in Bryan Bertino's directorial career, marking his debut with a film that demonstrated his ability to create an atmosphere of relentless fear and dread.

Over the years, "The Strangers" has achieved cult classic status. Fans have dissected every frame, developed intriguing theories, and quoted memorable lines. It remains a film that horror enthusiasts revisit time and again, finding new details and fears with each viewing.

In conclusion, "The Strangers" is an unrelenting masterpiece of horror that still haunts us to this day. With its exceptional ability to generate fear and suspense from the simplest of elements, an iconic directorial debut, and performances that keep you invested, it's no wonder that it stands as a classic in the genre. If you have a penchant for spine-tingling, nerve-wracking horror, "The Strangers" is a must-watch, and it's a testament to the lasting power of this bone-chilling gem from 2008.

WOAH! WE'RE HALFWAY THERE, WO-AH LIVING ON A SCARE!! Seriously though, for the halfway mark of 100 Horrors we decided to dive right into a stone cold classic and explore John Carpenter's Halloween! We even had an impromptu visitor come along for this episode, who we instantly outraged with some pretty low scoring... you know where to send the hate mail...

Mother! (stylized as mother!) is a 2017 American fantasy drama[1] film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky, and starring Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Ed Harris, Michelle Pfeiffer, Domhnall Gleeson, Brian Gleeson, and Kristen Wiig. It follows a young woman whose tranquil life with her husband at their country home is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious couple.

In the burned-out remains of a large house, Him, an acclaimed poet struggling with writer's block, places a crystal object on a pedestal in his study, and the building morphs into a beautiful home in an edenic landscape. Mother, the poet's wife and muse, awakens in her bed and wonders aloud where He is. While renovating the house, she occasionally visualizes a beating heart within its walls.

One day, a stranger called Man turns up at the house, claiming to be an orthopedic surgeon at the local hospital and asking for a room. Him readily agrees, and Mother reluctantly follows suit. Late that night, Man suffers from dry heaves and Mother observes a wound on his side.

Man's wife, Woman, arrives the next day. Mother is increasingly frustrated by her guests, but Him begs her to let them stay, revealing that Man is actually a fan whose dying wish was to meet Him. However, when Man and Woman accidentally shatter the crystal object, which Him had forbidden them to touch, Him becomes angry and boards up his study. Mother tells Man and Woman to leave, but, before they can go, their two sons arrive unexpectedly and fight over Man's will. The oldest son, who is concerned about his impending inheritance, argues and fights with his younger brother, severely wounding him, and the older brother flees after having his head smashed against glass by Him, leaving a bloody gash in his head.

Him, Man, and Woman take the injured son to the hospital. Alone in the house, Mother cleans up and notices strange damage to the house, including a fly, a frog, and blood that will not stop dripping. She follows the blood to a tank of heating oil hidden behind the basement walls. Upon returning, Him informs Mother the son has died.

Mother and Him are roused that night when dozens of people arrive unannounced at the house to mourn the dead son. The visitors behave in rude and presumptuous ways that irritate Mother, and she snaps and orders everyone to leave when they break a sink, partially flooding the house. She berates Him for allowing so many people inside and ignoring her needs, but their argument leads to passionate lovemaking. The next morning, Mother announces she is pregnant, which elates Him and inspires him to start writing again.

Time passes. Mother prepares for the arrival of the child and reads Him's beautiful new poem. Upon publication, it is acclaimed and sells well. In celebration, Mother prepares a big dinner, but a group of fans interrupt. Though she asks Him to send them away, he insists he has to be polite and show his appreciation. Mother tries to lock the doors, but droves of fans pour into the house and begin to wreak havoc, stealing things as souvenirs and damaging the house. Due to the adulation he is receiving, Him is oblivious to what is happening, but a disoriented Mother watches helplessly as military forces turn up to battle members of the cult that has sprung up around Him and as his publicist organizes mass executions. Mother goes into labor and finds Him, who reopens his study, which he had previously boarded up, so she can give birth inside.

Talk to Me is a 2022 Australian supernatural horror film directed by Danny and Michael Philippou, written by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman, and based on a concept by Daley Pearson. It stars Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Dhanji, Miranda Otto, and Zoe Terakes. The film follows a group of teenagers who discover they are able to contact spirits using a mysterious severed and embalmed hand, only for things to go too far.

Talk to Me premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival on 30 October 2022, and was released by Maslow Entertainment in Australia on 27 July 2023. The film received positive reviews from critics, who praised its story, direction, horror sequences, practical effects, sound design and performances, with Wilde and Bird receiving particular praise. It was a box office success, grossing approximately $91 million worldwide against a $4.5 million budget, becoming American distributor A24's highest-grossing horror film and second highest-grossing film overall. A sequel is currently in development.

This week we discuss what is lauded as one of the best zombie films ever made. Made in 1978, George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead established many of the conventions of the zombie genre for decades to come, but is it as good as everyone says it is? One of us doesn't think so! Tune in to find out our opinion on this week's 100 Horrors!

As far as Hollywood bromances go, they don't come that much more bromantic than Jonny Depp and Tim Burton. We went back to examine their 1999 adaptation of Sleepy Hollow when their relationship was still in fledgling form. 

Not a single film directed by Paul W. S. Anderson has ever scored a "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Here at 100 Horrors we're not entirely sure what that means, but we can sure see why that would be true. Event Horizon blends occultism, science fiction and a topless Sam Neil in an attempt to make something truly disturbing. Do they manage it? You'll have to tune in to episode 85 of 100 Horrors to find out!

Life in a Swedish suburb looks grim enough as it is. I hate the cold. Perma-snow. Perma-snotty-nose. Perma-coats. Throw a vampire into that mix and you have Hell. An actual living Hell. But, is viewing this film as grim as being in it looked? Tune in to episode 064 to find out!

The first of our double digit episodes focuses on David Cronenberg's 1981 mind blowing, Scanners.

We'll be taking a little break between now and the launch of season 02, which starts with episode 100 of Season 01. Confusing, I know. Check back on the socials to see when the next episode will be landing wherever you get your podcasts!

Time. It stops for no man. It also doesn't stop for quite a few of the films on the first 100 Horrors of 100 Horrors and it leaves them looking dated and shite. Guillermo Del Toro's 1993 debut Cronos, is no exception. Join us as we break our own record for shortest episode ever on this week's 100 Horrors.  

Hollywood tragedies don't get much more legendary than this one. This week we discussed Alex Proyas' 1994 feature The Crow.  

Is there such a thing a cursed film? We discuss whether Richard Donner's 1976 film The Omen might just prove that there is. 

After becoming an instant cult classic after its release in 2008, Cloverfield has enjoyed its post release life bathed in a nostalgic glow. With a mosnterous budget of $25 million, Cloverfield was found footage like we had never seen before. With only The Blair Witch Project to compare it to, its easy to see how audiences may have been tricked into thinking that this was a hyper budget blockbuster. Hugely ambitious, the movie pits a monster that is part dinosaur, part spider, and part octopus against a terrified New York City where it shoots explosive acid, breathes fire, and rip buildings buildings and people apart with its mouth. It even spawns hundreds of micro-monsters which infact anyone they bite with a body bursting illness... and yet... its so dull. Not aging well is something we all have to face, and while it might have aged better than some of its cast members have (we'll let you guess which one we're talking about), it isn't exactly Pamela Anderson in her later years. Years of found footage and real-world footage of national and global tragedies have really taken the sting out of this one's tail, and so we won't be rushing to watch it again any time soon.

Fun Fact: In our first year of broadcast, over 2000 people started listening to an episode of 100 Horrors and then turned it off after just one minute! I guess we're not to everyone's taste, much like today's film - Bird Box (nice segue, I know...). Released straight to Netflix in 2018, Bird Box is a Susanne Bier directed relatively big budget genre bending horror film that you'll either love or hate... much like our podcast it would seem! 

Braindead features a living, murderous pile of guts that tries to throttle the film's protagonist before it is eventually thrown into a blender. In one scene, a woman's sore bursts pus into a man's custard and then he eats it. Then her ear falls off and she eats that. Someone, somewhere, saw this and decided that the man that had directed this movie only 9 years prior, should be handed the reins to the $281,000,000 Lord of The Rings trilogy. Fair play I say. What is film making without a little risk? Join us this week as we poorly tackle Peter Jackson's Brain Dead!

In the final part of our three-parter focusing on Stephen King's IT, we discuss 2019s IT Chapter 2. I'm not gonna lie, some of the scoring on this one is WILD. You know where to leave the usual hate comments... 

Based on Clive Barker's novella The Hellbound Heart, Clive Barker directs Hellraiser, a film written by screenwriter Clive Barker. This week Phil Saunders joins us to discuss why this is one of his favourite films.

Every dog has his day, it's just that Cujo spends most of his day mauling rednecks to death in a 1983 Lewis Teague classic. 

We make sure not to say his name 5 times whilst discussing Candyman, the 1992 classic by Bernard Rose.

This week on 100 Horrors we invite our first ever special guest to come and speak with us about The Exorcist, a film that is frequently referred to as the scariest horror of all time. Does it hold weight nearly 50 years after it was first released? Tune in to find out!

In the very first episode of 100 Horrors, we discuss Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... whilst also trying to work out how to actually make a podcast...

Strange new feelings she can't explain. Hair growing in places where there was no hair before. An insatiable interest in boy's bodies. Blood everywhere... That's right. Ginger is becoming a woman! 

She's also becoming a massive werewolf after getting royally assaulted by one only ten minutes into this film. Ginger Snaps follows a couple of goth sisters who are obsessed with death, until it presents itself to them, and then they don't want to know. Kids. It turns out they've always been fickle creatures. 

Join us on episode 90(!!!) as we discuss John Fawcett's 2000 coming of age masterpiece, Ginger Snaps. 

We love a special guest. We love when we're related to that special guest. We love when that guest is frightened of horror films, and we especially love when they still find Wes Craven's 1996 Meta-Slasher actually scary! Ash Murray is on the show this week to discuss the only horror film she can watch "without shitting [her] pants"... her words, not ours...

Commonsensemedia.org suggests that "Insidious is one of the most terrifying scary horror movies in some time", but how true is this? Listen to our thoughts on James Wan's 2010 haunted boy flick Insidious in this New Year's Eve special edition of 100 Horrors!

This week we discuss the second John Carpenter film on the 100 Horrors poster: 1988's They Live. Does its register as highly as The Thing? Tune in to find out!

"Candyman," released in 2021 and written by Jordan Peele, is a highly acclaimed supernatural horror film that received positive reviews from both critics and audiences alike. The film serves as a spiritual sequel to the original "Candyman" from 1992, while also offering a fresh and contemporary take on the urban legend.

Directed by Nia DaCosta, "Candyman" explores themes of racial injustice, gentrification, and the power of storytelling. It follows the story of visual artist Anthony McCoy, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, as he becomes obsessed with the Candyman legend and delves into the horrifying consequences that follow.

The film has been praised for its thought-provoking social commentary, atmospheric cinematography, and exceptional performances. Jordan Peele's involvement as a writer brought his signature blend of horror and socio-cultural exploration to the story, making it a standout entry in the genre.

"The Purge" is a 2013 dystopian horror thriller film written and directed by James DeMonaco. The film is set in a future America where the government has instituted an annual event called "The Purge," which takes place on March 21st and lasts for 12 hours, from 7 PM to 7 AM. During this time, all crime, including murder, becomes legal, and emergency services are suspended. The idea behind The Purge is that it allows society to release its pent-up aggression and cleanse itself of criminal elements.

The story primarily focuses on the Sandin family, consisting of James (played by Ethan Hawke), his wife Mary (played by Lena Headey), and their two children, Charlie and Zoey. James sells security systems designed to protect homes during The Purge, and the family appears to be well-prepared for the annual event. However, their sense of security is shattered when their son Charlie lets a wounded stranger, who is being pursued by a group of masked purgers, into their home.

As the night unfolds, the Sandin family must defend their home against a group of violent purgers who demand that they release the injured man. The film explores themes of social inequality, the consequences of violence, and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters as they grapple with the brutal reality of The Purge.

"The Purge" received mixed to positive reviews from critics and was praised for its unique premise and suspenseful moments. It also spawned several sequels, including "The Purge: Anarchy" (2014), "The Purge: Election Year" (2016), "The First Purge" (2018), and a television series titled "The Purge" (2018-2019). These subsequent installments further explored the concept of The Purge and its societal implications.

Overall, "The Purge" is known for its tense and thrilling portrayal of a nightmarish future where chaos reigns for 12 hours, and it has become a notable entry in the horror genre.

STATEMENT BY THE PRODUCERS. The producers of the show would like to apologise for the APPALLING pronunciation of the actors' names in this episode. We would also like to apologise for the two minutes of radio silence while we laugh at Rob's pronunciation of said actors' names. Directed by Takashi Shimizu in 2002, this film sparked a huge influx of Asian cinema into western homes, but is it actually any good? Tune in to find out.  

In the 2012 horror film "Sinister," true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt (played by Ethan Hawke) moves his family into a new home, hoping to uncover a captivating story for his next book. However, his fascination with the macabre takes a twisted turn when he discovers a box of disturbing home videos in the attic. As Ellison delves deeper into the chilling footage, he realizes that they depict a series of brutal murders linked to a mysterious supernatural entity. As his obsession grows, Ellison unwittingly puts his family at risk and becomes entangled in a terrifying web of evil forces that threaten to consume them all. In this episode of 100 Horrors, find out if we think that the film that was once found to be "the scariest film ever" in a 2020 study lives up to the hype!!

Tissues at the ready for one of the most iconic "snot shots" in all of cinema! This week we tackle what is regarded as one of the most influential found footage films of all time, Sanchez and Myrick's 1999 classic The Blair Witch Project. Tune in to hear what we thought!

Jordan Peele is a director with a problem. In 2017 he released his debut feature film after spending the majority of his career working in comedy, and it was surprisingly BRILLIANT. Get out - a film you can hear us review somewhere in the back catalogue - is a perfect film, and it quite rightly launched Jordan Peele's name past the pile labelled "up and coming" and onto the wall where most horror directors can only dream of finding their names carved in stone. Oddly though, therein lies the problem. The pressure to make sure that any and all future releases hold up to Get Out (and it's critically acclaimed follow up, "US") must be monumental. It really comes as no surprise then, that for film number 3, Peele segwayed out of horror and into Sci-Fi. Moving to Sci-Fi (or at least a Sci-Fi / Horror hybrid) surely helps avoid instant and unfair comparisons to his prior two films, but the shift to science fiction also clearly challenges Peele as a film maker and writer. I won't lie, there's a sense that he's not quite worked out how to make the genre work for him the way he has with the horror genre. UAP and UFO culture is a fascinating one because, lets face it, there's a good chance that it is based entirely on misinterpretaing entirely normal arial phenomenon, and as a result, everything within the sci-fi genre is open to interpretation. What would an alien ship actually look like? Would it carry a sentience within or would the ship itself be sentient? How would the common man react to being stalked by a giant ribbon monster in the sky? These are all questions that Nope explores well, and the result is intriguing, but by no means does that mean that it's good. With a budget of $68 million, Nope is a visually stunning film, but the lead character doesn't feel proactive, and the supporting actors feel too reactive, and the subplot about a chimpanzee called Gordy actually becomes the most intriguing story in the film. It's easy to feel that Nope is flawed, but hard to work out whether that is just due to comparison to Peele's earlier more solid work. Is it only flawed because it's not as good as Get Out? You'll have to watch it and decide for yourself. Let us know what you think lads.

In this episode Rob outlines why he thought David Cronenberg's 1986 classic The Fly was one of the worst films he has ever seen.

This week we explore the second in what is likely to be a horror franchise that - like it’s terrifying antagonist - just won’t die. Seriously though, if you thought that Art being shot in the face five times was going to be enough to keep that particular clown down, you were sorely mistaken. You probably weren’t however, anywhere near as sore as Art’s victims are going to be by the time they meet their respective fates. Seriously, to say that this film is gruesome would be like saying the three people who made up the human centipede had a less than ideal diet…Tune in to find out just what was it was that even WE thought had gone a bit too far…

Jacob's Ladder made a loss upon first release but has since gone on to become a cult classic. Find out why this week as we discuss the seldom heard of but often loved 1990 "war is hell" classic, directed by Adrian Lyne. 

Director Kyle Edward Ball cut his teeth on YouTube, making making terrifying visual accompaniments to the nightmares that people submitted to him across Reddit. After that, he pulled together the money to make Skinamarink, which for a mere $15,000 took the Tik Tok world by storm and gained huge noteriety before many had even had the chance to watch it. The film then made its way to Shudder, and then recommendations subsequently landed in our inbox from a lot of our listeners who insisted that we just "had" to see this movie. I got excited. Rob got excited. Paul got drunk, and then he got excited, as is usually the way with him. And then we watched the film. There is potential that Skinamarink is going meta, in that the act of watching a film based on nightmares feels like a nightmare. Maybe the true horror here is not the content, but the act of watching a film in which the viewer can only see the top of door frames, close ups of TVs and the occasional foot, but I have to admit, this eventuality seems very unlikely. There are fewer than 500 words spoken in this film, but does that mean that the film doesn't have much to say? It's very hard to know to be honest, but it is easy to dismiss this film as being vacuous - a little lacking in content - and I think people would be forgiven for thinking this. This movie is not for everyone, but the people that it is for clearly LOVE Skinamarink. At the end of the day, Ball tries to do something new with the horror genre, and that absolutely has to be commended. Should you watch Skinamarink? I guess you could, or you could tune in to hear us talk about why we're not likely to watch it again.

If it's in a word, or its in a look, it's probably in Jenifer Kent's 2014 creature feature The Babadook! A massive horrid home invading being? Check! A subtext about the LGBTQ community? Check! People throwing up a load of black stuff? You'd better believe that's a check! Tune in to this week's 100 Horrors as we discuss the lot!

A quick Google search of "Don't Look Now" brings up a wealth of web articles offering to explain what the ending of the film means. Personally, I would love an article that explains what any of this film's one hour and fifty minute run time means. Infinitely loose and extremely ambiguous, Nick Roeg's Don't Look Now is widely regarded as one of the best British films (not even just one of the best British horror films) of all time. Naturally, we all hated it. Find out why, send your hate mail to the usual address. You get the drill by now. We've nearly done a hundred of these!

Although the title of this week's film could quite easily be used to describe a tenancy agreement in 2020's era London, in the 90's it carried with it a much more (or less, when you think about it) insidious tone. Both written and directed by Wes Craven, TPUTS toes the line between horror, comedy, political commentary and home alone rip off - but is it any good? Tune in this week to find out!

The Sixth Sense is a 1999 American psychological thriller film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It stars Bruce Willis as a child psychologist whose patient (Haley Joel Osment) claims he can see and talk to the dead.

Released by Buena Vista Pictures (through its Hollywood Pictures label) on August 6, 1999, The Sixth Sense received critical acclaim, with praise for the cast performances (particularly those of Willis, Osment, and Toni Collette), atmosphere, direction and surprise ending. It was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for Shyamalan, Best Supporting Actor for Osment, and Best Supporting Actress for Collette.[3] The film established Shyamalan as a predominant thriller screenwriter/director and introduced the cinema public to his traits, most notably his affinity for twist endings.

It was the second-highest-grossing film of 1999, behind Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, making roughly $293 million in the US and $379 million in other markets.

Released in 2022, Smile follows a therapist (played by the hilariously named Sosie Bacon) who starts to experience a series of frightening that are connected to a supernatural entity that feeds off of people's negative emotions – at least, that’s what a quick Wikipedia summary of the film says anyway. I’ll be honest, I was so bored watching it that I had no idea what was going on as I battled against the will to slip into a coma to preserve my own sanity. While the movie has all of the classic horror movie ingredients, it somehow manages to bring the sum total of nothing new to the table. The story is predictable. The ending feel unmotivated. The delivery feel underwhelming. Sosie Bacon gives a decent performance as the protagonist, but her character, just like the rest of the characters, is one-dimensional. If you’re having trouble sleeping maybe give this one a whirl. It should send you off in no time.

Electroshock therapy. Extreme isolation. Full frontal lobotomies. Indefinite imprisonment. These are just some of the horrors that "patients" had to experience during their stay in a mental asylum. Throw into the mix the fact that the ceilings were absolutely jam-packed with asbestos and I would say that your average asylum is about as close to hell on earth as you can get. Brad Anderson's 2001 psychological horror Session 9 explores what might happen to a person forced to experience prolonged exposure to such a place, but is it any good? Let us know in the comments sections folks!! 

Inhabitants of a quaint countryside town uncover chilling news: a demon is on the verge of being born in their midst. In a race against time, they attempt to flee before the malevolent force comes to life, but escaping may already be out of reach. When brothers Pedro (Ezequiel Rodríguez) and Jimmy (Demián Salomón) discover that a demonic infection has been festering in a nearby farmhouse -- its very proximity poisoning the local livestock -- they attempt to evict the victim from their land. Failing to adhere to the proper rites of exorcism, their reckless actions inadvertently trigger an epidemic of possessions across their rural community. Now they must outrun an encroaching evil as it corrupts and mutilates everyone it is exposed to, and enlist the aid of a wizened "cleaner," who holds the only tools that can stop this supernatural plague.

To celebrate our imminent first birthday, this week we're launching the first episode of a three part series picking apart the various iterations of Stephen King's IT. In part one we're focusing in on the 1990 TV miniseries IT, a miniseries that cemented Tim Curry firmly in the centre of every coulrophobe's nightmares, but is it actually any good? Tune in to this week's 100 Horrors to find out!

If you like your horror films without any of the frightening characters, settings, characters or horrific situations that you might expect in a genre text, then this might be the one for you. In actuality, it's not at all fair to call David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers a horror film at all. Quite why it was listed on the 100 Horrors poster is beyond us. It wasn't fair on the film to make us review it, and it wasn't fair on us to make us watch it. THANKS MENKIND. Only six to go!

When you're as ultra-conservative as the lads at 100 Horrors are, all bongs are evil. Weed. Marijuana. Pot. Mary Jane. Call it what you like, we still call it The Devil's Lettuce and will do until we go to our hardline Christian graves... Nah, smoke em if you got em, just not to the point where you don't realise your friend has died and is sat bloating on the sofa in the living room like the guys in Charles Brand's Evil Bong do. Released in 2006, it's surprising how many people consider this one a staple in the stoner horror diet. Part Pineapple Express, part Basket Case, Evil Bong combines the worst in both the horror and comedy genre and gives you a generous scoop of female nudity in the process. With cheeky cameos from Tommy Chong, Brandi Cunningham and Bill Mosely of House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 fame, Evil Bong is entertaining to say the least, but does that mean it's actually any good? You'll just have to tune in to find out duuuuude.

The Evil Dead franchise, created by Sam Raimi, has been a beloved staple of the horror genre for decades. With a successful mix of horror and dark humor, it has garnered a dedicated fan base. Now, fans are eagerly anticipating the latest installment, "Evil Dead Rise," which takes the series in a fresh direction. In this review, we'll dive deep into the dark and blood-soaked world of "Evil Dead Rise" and examine how it stacks up against its iconic predecessors.

"Evil Dead Rise" takes a daring approach by moving away from the familiar cabin-in-the-woods setting and the iconic protagonist, Ash Williams, played by Bruce Campbell. Instead, it introduces a new set of characters facing off against the malevolent forces of the Necronomicon, the Book of the Dead. This shift in focus allows the filmmakers to explore new angles and expand the Evil Dead universe.

The story revolves around two estranged sisters, Ellie and Lyla, who are brought back together when they discover a dark family secret. As they confront the evil unleashed by the Necronomicon, they must rely on their wits and bravery to survive. The film does a commendable job of delving into their relationship and personal struggles, making the audience genuinely care about their fate. Their character development is a highlight of the movie, and the performances by the cast, notably Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan, are top-notch.

One of the hallmarks of the Evil Dead series has always been its gore and practical effects. "Evil Dead Rise" continues this tradition, delivering some truly gruesome and visceral scenes. The practical effects are a sight to behold, and the film's commitment to physical effects over CGI pays off. Gorehounds will not be disappointed, as the movie offers plenty of cringe-worthy moments that rival the goriest scenes from the franchise's past.

Director Lee Cronin, known for his work on "The Hole in the Ground," brings a unique vision to the Evil Dead universe. While the iconic cabin is absent, Cronin successfully creates an eerie atmosphere through his cinematography and set design. The dilapidated urban setting, combined with the gruesome practical effects, sets a dark and foreboding tone throughout the film.

"Evil Dead Rise" pays homage to its predecessors with subtle references and nods that will thrill long-time fans. While it's a fresh take on the franchise, it doesn't forget its roots. These callbacks are sprinkled throughout the film, offering a delightful nostalgia trip for viewers who have followed the Evil Dead series since its inception.

In "Evil Dead Rise," the filmmakers take a bold step away from the familiar and beloved elements of the franchise while maintaining the spirit of its predecessors. The result is a blood-soaked, character-driven horror film that successfully expands the Evil Dead universe in a thrilling new direction. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of this classic horror franchise, and fans old and new are sure to find something to love in this latest installment. If you're a horror enthusiast with a taste for gore and dark humor, "Evil Dead Rise" should be on your watchlist. So, grab your chainsaw and prepare for a blood-soaked, demon-slaying adventure that will leave you craving more from the world of Evil Dead.

Twists in horror are nothing new, but Drew Goddard's 2011 film Cabin in the Woods takes the genre to completely uncharted territory. Is it the best horror-comedy hybrid of all time? Tune in to find out!

Home invasions. Scary things if you haven't been trained in the deadly arts by a father who was a survivalist in the Australian outback. Thankfully, the protagonist in Adam Wingard's 2011 smash hit You're Next was trained in the deadly arts by a father who was a survivalist in the Australian outback, so that's cool. Naturally, 2 of us love it and 1 of us hates it. Tune in to find out who's the odd one out this week.

After what has been FAR too long away, we’re back this week with a scorching new(ish) film to discuss. Late Night With The Devil has been taking Shudder, Tik Tok and the horror world by storm with its blend of late night talk show, 70s charm and satanic possession.

In Stephen King's novel, Carrie is described as being "slightly unattractive", overweight with pimples on her neck, back and arse. Brian De Palma threw this description out of the window for the film adaptation and instead spent a week shooting nude scenes with Sissy Spacek and her 20-something friends in what is one of the most gratuitous opening scenes of any horror film ever. Surprisingly, the rest of the film just gets better from here! Find out why by listening to episode 55 of 100 Horrors! 

This week we welcome back our zombie expert, Mr Rick Baker to discuss 2009's Nazi Zombie horror Dead Snow! Directed by Tommy Wirkola, Dead Snow blends the scariest villains from history with the scariest villains from the horror world, but does this double dose of horror translate successfully to the screen? Tune in to this week's 100 Horrors to find out!

Is Fright Night the most 80's horror film ever conceived? Directed by Tom Holland (not that one) this film has everything, vampires, a dance off, and a heck of a soundtrack. Tune in to this episode to hear our thoughts! 

When I first saw Midsommar, I was in a cinema with Paul, and as the film drew to its beautiful, horrifying and oddly joyous ending I knew I had just witnessed one of the best horror films that will ever be made. With Midsommar, Ari Aster takes a story that has been told before (it's basically The Wicker Man) and tells it so well that it becomes a beast all of its own.

I collected my things, walked toward the exit and the woman in front of me said "That was rubbish. What a load of shit". This woman had sat and shovelled popcorn into her mouth loudly throughout the film. She had laughed loudly as the sex scene had aired. She had loudly asked "What the fuck is happening" as the communes women had gathered around Dani and screamed in sadness with her, sharing her guilt.

She, was an idiot.

This film is not for everyone. I very rarely get on my high horse about movies (there's a time and a place for the Maniac Cops and Evil Deads of the world) but I genuinely think that this is the thinking man's horror. It rolls forward at a sinfully slow pace. It pulls no punches with its blatant foreshadowing and terrifying imagery. It toys with convention to such an extent that I'm not even sure its even a horror film anymore. All I am sure of, is that this absolutely deserves its spot waaay up at the top of the 100 Horrors list.

Ah, lockdown. That thing SUCKED. While most of the world was getting heavily into sleeping till noon and Fortnite, some of us worked tirelessly. If you are a health professional, or an educator, or law enforcement, then Covid was just another way to make your job ten times harder. If you were a film maker, you also faced a significant difficulty in getting anything off the ground. This is why then, Host is not only a lungful of fresh air when it comes to genre exploration, but it is also a wonder that it exists at all. It so perfectly captures the zeitgeist of Covid lockdowns, whilst at the same time managing to be shit scary. But does that mean that it’s good? I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!

Having lost his religious faith after the horrific car accident that claimed the life of his wife, the emotionally broken former Episcopal priest, Graham Hess (Mel Gibson), retreats to a remote farm surrounded by corn in Pennsylvania to live with his two young children and younger brother. Six short months later, a sinister undercurrent of dread starts to take over the family when mysterious crop-circle formations appear in his field, and the same circular patterns manifest all over the world. More and more, as equally unexplained happenings occur, grief and denial mix with paranoia, making a highly volatile combination. Is this an elaborate hoax, an ominous sign from above, or could it be, indeed, the end of the world as we know it?

This week we welcome back our first returning guest Mr Joe Fodor Sr to discuss a film he chose for observation, Phantasm. Released in 1979, Phantasm blurs the line between science fiction, horror and a fever dream. But is it any good? Tune in this week as we dissect Don Coscarelli's passion project. 

Children: Murderous? Sometimes. Fanatical? Occasionally. Easy to batter? Always. Just why the two leads in this Stephen King adaptation don’t realise that children are the optimum size for a boot in the face is beyond us, but a lot of the kids in Fritz Kiersch’s 1984 Children of the Corn look like they’ve already taken a blow or two to the face anyway, so maybe that’s not the best way to correct bad behaviour in early years after all.

Episode 007 of 100 Horrors sees us gush about how good Ari Aster's Hereditary is. Could it take the top spot on our 100 Horrors list?

This week we welcome front man of the critically acclaimed noise rock band Benefits to the 100 Horrors studio! Kingsley Hall joins us to explain why Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of his most hated films. Do you agree with him? Answers to the usual PO Box!  

A lot of the films that we've watched can barely get one narrative right, which is why its so nice to watch a film that takes on the daunting task of trying to tell 4 stories all at once. Directed by Michael Dougherty, Trick 'R' Treat was initially panned by the very people that funded it. Since then, it's gone on to become a bit of a cult classic. This is likely going to be our only straight to DVD film of the first 100 films, so you KNOW the scoring is about to get daft. Send your complaints to the usual places...

This week's film features a group of women taking part in an activity known as "Spelunking", which is the act of exploring small (and often wet) holes. It has an all female cast and is rated a solid 18 by the BBFC. I can't help but feel that at least some people who read that description are going to be disappointed by the actual content of Neil Marshall's 2005 British horror classic The Descent, but for those of who can see past the equal parts clumsy and crass double entendres, you are in for an absolute treat. This is without a doubt one of the scariest films on the 100 Horrors list, and that's saying something given we don't even get a hint of an antagonist until nearly an hour into the film. This week's guest is Mr Kingsley Hall, so naturally its a long one! That's not a bad thing though, surely, is it!? Tune in to this episode of 100 Horrors to find out!

As Above So Below

Jeff Bezos collated his wealth and used it to blast himself into space while people who work for his company continue to suffer poor working conditions and incredible levels of job dissatisfaction. Richard Branson collated his wealth and used it to quietly buy up vast swathes of the NHS pushing the British public ever closer to the reality of either having health insurance or dying from easily curable illnesses. The millionaire in William Castle's House on Haunted Hill spends his money to carry out an elaborate scheme that ultimately sees two people murdered, and yet he seems significantly less sinister than the two aforementioned people. Put together on a shoestring budget, House on Haunted Hill is a bona fide classic starring the incredible Vincent Price. Naturally one of us dislikes it. No prizes for guessing which one of us dislikes the old film with the questionable special effects...

100 Horrors is a comedy podcast that seeks to rank the best one-hundred horror films of all time (as dictated by a poster that one of us owns). Every week we bicker over another film in an attempt to give it an overall Scare-Factor and secure its place in the 100 Horrors list. With features such as I don’t want to die, but at least I won’t die like that and What would you say at the victim’s funeral we take a light-hearted approach to horror cinema so that it can be enjoyed by even the most squeamish of listeners! Whether you’re the person who’s never seen a horror film in your life, or you’re the person who’s got a tattoo of Leatherface on your right butt-cheek, there’s something to be enjoyed in every episode of 100 Horrors!

Some films take on legendary status due to their incredible performances, some for their insightful narratives, some for the impact they make on the wider society, and some because they're just disgusting torture porn that leave a sick legacy of poor imitations in their wake. This week we discuss Eli Roth's 2005 film Hostel. We'll let you decide which of the aforementioned categories this one fits into... 

The son of a Hasidic funeral director returns home with his pregnant wife in hopes of reconciling with his father. Little do they know that an ancient evil lurking inside a mysterious corpse has sinister plans for their unborn child.

They're here! One of the 100 Horrors crew has a Poltergeist tattoo. One of us finds it boring. Listen to episode 020 to hear the fireworks as we discuss Tobe Hooper's 1982 classic Poltergeist!

Imagine this. A new virus emerges. You get locked in your home and threatened with severe punishment if you leave. The government - the very ones who locked you in your home - offer absolutely no timeline for your release and do not seem to care about the horrors you face inside. Alright, so it’s not so difficult to imagine that sort of thing given the events of last few years, but I’ll tell you this. Spanish zombies would have made lockdown a LOT more interesting, one way or the other. This week we discuss Rec, a film which frequently tops internet lists of the scariest films you can ever watch, but is there any truth in that? Tune in to find out!
