Red Nights & Night of the Killer Bears
Imported Horror
06/22/23 • 55 min
Be sure to close the blinds for this week's wild and saucy double feature. Red Nights (Hong Kong, France & Belguim, 2010) is a killer blend of Hong Kong mobster violence and European giallo style, but even though legendary category III star Carrie Ng is a bewitching femme fatale the movie isn't as sexy as it wants to be. Night of the Killer Bears (Thailand, 2022), though, gets right down to business with a slick cold open and a parade of shameless, creative kills. Turn off your brain and smile at all the nods to "Scream" and "I know What You Did Last Summer."
Red Nights: Motion Picture Terror Scale: 4. Quality: 3.5. Enjoyment: 3.
Night of the Killer Bears: MPTS: 2. Quality: 3. Enjoyment: 4.5

Nuns, Nails & Spiders: Sister Death, Nail and Mad Spider Sea
Imported Horror
01/11/24 • 62 min
We're back! Melissa checks out neighborly horror Nail (Mexico, 2017) on YouTube, Marcus gets himself to a freaky nunnery with Sister Death (Spain, 2023) on Netflix and Grady sees right through efforts to prank him with Mad Spider Sea (Taiwan, 2020). Also, will True Detective: Night Country be a return to form?

Two Quiet Spirals, An Eclipse & More Nuns: Spiral (1998), Spiral (2019), Speak No Evil & The First Omen
Imported Horror
04/18/24 • 77 min
Last week, we saw the moon blot out the afternoon sun. It made us spiral out of control into a binge of cringe, frustration and the worst sequel you've never heard of. Grady unpacks Spiral (Japan, 1998), which begins as an also-ran sequel to Ring and descends into weird softcore porn. Marcus struggles with math in Spiral (Canada, 2019), a queer horror with a clever ending but a frustrating and unlikeable protagonist. Melissa is baffled by the upcoming American remake of Speak No Evil (Denmark & The Netherlands, 2022). Can she look at James McAvoy the same way ever again? Plus - The First Omen is the more satisfying Coke to Immaculate's Pepsi, a spinoff of the manga Parasyte hits Netflix and Late Night with the Devil finally hits Shudder.

Week Off for George Floyd March
Imported Horror
06/04/20 • 23 min
Imported Horror took a week off to participate in the Black Lives Matter march for George Floyd in Houston. We stand opposed to racism and bigotry and united in peaceful protest. We'll be back with Taiwan's "The Tag Along" next week. In the meantime, which ancient Greek myth would you rather have stalk you through a labyrinth: Cerberus, Medusa or a minotaur?

What's scarier: Islamic horror, Anglican horror, or a Japanese teenager with a chainsaw? What about all three in one podcast episode? This week, we dive into Shudder exclusives Kandisha (France, 2020) and Martyrs Lane (United Kingdom, 2021), two spiritual hauntings with very different vibes, and then chainsaw our way into something completely different with the Japanese manga Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo. Also, we unpack our wildly subjective favorites from 2023 and get confused by excitable doggos in an upcoming streaming drop.

02/15/24 • 55 min
We've got something for everyone this week. Grady gets blood splatter on his shoes with The Witch Part 1: The Subversion (South Korea, 2018), a John Wick-y action horror that pulls no punches. Melissa watched the French short film 3:36 (2017) four times and swears she had a different interpretation every time. Marcus loved the raw ambition of Out of Darkness (United Kingdom, 2022), a Stone Age monster flick with spectacular drone shots.
Plus - Scandinavian disasters, Scottish killers wearing pig masks and campy desert monsters are all dropping on streaming this week.

What would you do if a ghost joined you in the bathtub, or if a demon judged your sex life? Find out this week as we explore the occult with Extra Ordinary (Ireland & Belgium, 2019), jump from a super-scary procedural to a super-okay exorcism in Belzebuth (Mexico, 2017), act surprised when a record player skips in the short film Antikk (Norway, 2020) and get down with the sickness with short film The Plague (Uruguay, 2017). Also - is Satanic Hispanics the anthology to beat this year, and does a Netflix gnome movie really belong on Tubi?
Weird Vampires, Queer Revenge & Sidescrolling Aliens: The Vourdalak, The Sermon and Metroid Dread
Imported Horror
02/21/25 • 59 min
What's the last unfamiliar vampire trope you encountered? Did it involve aristocratic face paint? This week, we get folksy with unique bloodsuckers in The Vourdalak (France, 2023) on Shudder and vengeful with The Sermon (United Kingdom, 2018) on Shortverse. Plus, we chat about the deep xenomorphic roots of the Metroid franchize and why you should avoid the cringey edgelord Coffee Table movie dropping on Shudder.

Some zombie movies start from scratch. Director Sang-ho Yeon wanted the first South Korean zombie blockbuster to be down-to-Earth and relatable for Korean audiences, not over-the-top like American films. As a result, Train to Busan feels like the freshest take on the living dead in years. Also, Marcus and Melissa drag their feet hard on a discussed American remake and break down two major types of horror movie endings.
Quality: 5/5. MPTS: 3 (Marcus) / 2+ (Melissa). Did my future wife watch it? No. She was busy. Bechdel Test: Passes.
