Fearless Films

What happens when you put a group of bored, white, rich kids in a room together and tell them to play a game? You get the 2005 film, Cry_Wolf.
What starts as a competitive lying game between some private school friends, quickly spirals into a campus-wide attempt to make the student body believe that there is a serial killer on the loose. But what happens when people actually start ending up dead and missing? Has one of these high schoolers taken things too far? Or have they summoned the wrath of an actual homicidal maniac?
Listen in as Pete breaks down yet ANOTHER early 2000's horror film starring Jared Padalecki. This one was another slog for Pete, but Sarah delights in hearing all about it.
Join us in the circle, and bring your best poker face. And remember: don't get too scared!

This week on Fearless Films, in celebration of the start of the school year, we are talking about the late 90's teen horror flick, Disturbing Behavior.
Pete breaks down this story of a boy and his family moving to a small island town in Washington state. He quickly discovers that something isn't quite right with the popular kids at the high school. He goes on to uncover a conspiracy to "make the kids better" through nefarious means. Only him and his misfit friends can save the town (or burn it all down)!
Sarah reacts to the fact that this is basically just an extended episode of the X-Files (featuring key players from the show both in front of and behind the camera), the hilariously bad "slang" used by the teenage characters, and the outdated depictions of... well, just about everything.
She also gets concerned about Pete's blood pressure, when he begins to rant and rave about the horrors of studio interference. Prepare yourselves for a deep dive on the behind the scenes story of this film, and how test screenings and meddling producers took a great script and turned it into a mediocre Scream knockoff.
Grab a seat, open your notebooks and remember: don't get too scared!

This week on Fearless Films, we present a spooky tale of forensic science, 2016's The Autopsy of Jane Doe!
Sarah breaks down this story of a father/son team of coroners who are delivered the body of a young woman who is dead, but has no apparent signs of how she died. As you would expect, unexplainable, haunting-like phenomena begins to occur, and the characters lives are quickly in danger.
Highlights include Pete's reaction to the characters decision to never leave, his fear over the fate of the pet cat, and lessons in history and botany. Also, of course, the very graphic autopsy of a dead body that rivals even Saw 3.
Join us for this scary medical procedure, and remember: don't get too scared!

This week on Fearless Films, we take a road trip through Australia and end up in the most dangerous place in the Outback: Wolf Creek!
This stranger-danger horror film from 2005 features a group of backpackers falling prey to a serial killer outdoorsman who just wants to have a good time.
Pete lays out the plot for this movie he has just watched for the first time. To his surprise, it is an early 2000's torture porn film that he actually enjoyed!
Sarah is shocked by this revelation, and also by the horrors that unfold in this adrenaline pumping tale of survival.
Join us as we uncover just what makes this movie so special that Pete actually enjoyed a 2000's flick. And as always, don't get too scared...

It's special guest season on Fearless Films, and this week we are kicking it off when Pete's wife, Cheryl, talks to us about one of her favorite horror films of all time: The Woman in Black!
It tells the tale of a turn of the century English solicitor, still suffering the grief of losing his wife to a tragic accident, having to leave his very young son to take a job in the countryside. He is settling the paperwork of an old estate, an isolated house on a patch of land that gets swallowed up by the sea at high tide. There, he finds a tortured spirit haunting the house, and a town full of people that are trying to drive him out, lest he stir the malevolent apparition.
Join us as we discuss what makes a truly great ghost story, what are the best-sounding English names, and whether the movie or its source novel has the more depressing ending.
And as always, don't get too scared!
