11/07/23 • 49 min

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!

164 - Jigsaw and Spiral

Send us a text

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!

166 - The Girl on the Third Floor

Send us a text

It's part 2 of our Special Guest Month, and this week we are joined by our very own Social Media Manager!!! (also named Sarah, so it gets confusing).
This week's movie was more specifically chosen to confuse and horrify Pete. It's a film that both the Sarah's had watched together previously, during the COVID lockdowns (via a synchronized streaming session). It is The Girl on the Third Floor! And they both hated it!
It tells the story of a terrible man, making a last ditch attempt to repair his marriage by fixing up the new house he has bought for him and his wife, all by himself. He is soon confronted by evil spirits that want to tempt him and torture him, and he quickly spirals into madness.
Join us as we discuss the importance of General Contractors, the nonsensical editing and plot of the film, and why the Sarah's lovingly nicknamed this movie "the vagina walls movie".
And as always, don't get too scared!
