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!

We finally made it to the end! Welcome to the final episode (for now) on the Saw franchise. This week we cover the two "spinoff" films:
Jigsaw - A new game has begun, and forensic evidence somehow points to the long dead John Kramer. Has he truly risen from the grave? Or has someone new taken on the mantle of the Jigsaw killer? Seeing as how the rest of the series plays it pretty grounded, you can probably figure it out.
Spiral: From the Book of Saw - This one acts more like a true spinoff. Chris Rock is a cop investigating a series of murders (all of members of the police) that appear to be paying homage to the long dead Jigsaw killer. This movie doesn't play with expectations, it is definitely about a copycat killer. The mystery is all about their motivations and their identity.
Join us as we pick apart these two entries that both Sarah and Pete dislike... strongly! Can we survive to the end of these breakdowns? Or are we going to go as mad as Jigsaw by the end of the episode? Join us and find out. And remember: don't get too scared!

This week we are going over the 2005 film, The Exorcism of Emily Rose!
Sarah breaks down this horror/courtroom drama, which portrays a lawyer taking on a negligent homicide case after a young woman dies following an attempted exorcism. The performing priest is on trial, and its up to the lawyer to help him avoid a lengthy jail sentence. But he insists on pleading not guilty, creating a battle to prove whether or not Emily Rose was truly possessed or not.
Pete marvels at the creepy possession scenes, and shares his thoughts on the plot based on his minor Justice education. There is a equal discussion on both horror themes and courtroom procedure.
Join us for this thrilling horror/drama, and remember... don't get too scared!

This week on Fearless Films, we inoculate ourselves on Eli Roth's debut film, Cabin Fever!
When a group of college friends rent a cabin in the woods for a vacation retreat, they encounter a deadly flesh eating, blood puking disease that literally tears them apart. Join us as we talk about one of the most WTF horror movies of the 2000's.
Spin-kicking karate kids, dangerous hillbillies, Sean Hunter from Boy Meets World, and Pancakes await you in this messed up tale of paranoia and necrotized flesh.
So grab a barf bag and remember, don't get too scared...

What do you get when you mix horny teenagers, a blood-thirsty killer, and white-boy rap all in one movie? You get Cheerleader Camp!
This week, Pete talks us through an 80's sexploitation slasher flick about... well a group of teenagers getting slaughtered at a cheerleader camp. It's really not that deep.
Join us as we discuss peeping toms, corrupt cops, and very bad editing choices.
And as always: don't get too scared!
