Movie Club - A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
10/03/20 • 49 min
It's Berktober here at Berkreviews.com, and that means Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) are focusing on horror. This time, the theme of I'll Show you Scary forced Jonathan and Corey to dive into the Rotten Tomatoes top 100 rated horror films for the movies on the list that they've not seen. There are many on the list that both Corey and Jonathan love, but they had to pick some more obscure ones to fulfill the requirements of the show. Will that turn out to be a good thing or a bad thing? In past years, they've not enjoyed some highly loved horror films (listen to their Phantasm and Suspiria episodes), but who knows what they'll find in these selections.
As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.
Week 1 - A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)
Jonathan had been meaning to watch this one since he saw The Bad Batch (2016). A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night was #32 on the list and has a 96% RT. Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour this Iranian vampire film was available to watch on Shudder and Mubi. It stars Sheila Vand, Arash Marandi, and Marshall Manesh and the IMDb.com synopsis reads "In the Iranian ghost-town Bad City, a place that reeks of death and loneliness, the townspeople are unaware they are being stalked by a lonesome vampire."

Movie Club - Cape Fear (1991)
September has Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) focusing on an iconic director: Martin Scorsese. While Jonathan has seen some of the big films of Scorsese's extensive filmography, there are a few he still wants to check off his gap list. Corey has explored it even less so there are plenty of major titles for them to watch for September 2020.

Week 4: Cape Fear (1991)
For the last film this month Corey picked Cape Fear. It's a remake and a tough watch since the plot reads "A convicted rapist, released from prison after serving a fourteen-year sentence, stalks the family of the lawyer who originally defended him." Though the cast bodes well as it has Robert De Niro, Nick Nolte, Jessica Lange, and Juliette Lewis.
