This week hosts Jamie Roberts and Robert Lendrum review David Robert Mitchell's 2014 horror It Follows. An incredible film with a whole lot of parents killing their kids sometimes in very sexy ways. We talk about the looming feeling of dread that the monster personifies and the pragmatics of escaping this relentless creature. On our True Horror segment we look at the Lions of Tsavo. Plus - Jamie tries to add toes to our rating system.

This week co-hosts Jamie Roberts and Robert Lendrum review the 1978 John Carpenter classic Halloween. While we both agree it's a classic, do we see it as a 5 footstep film? Dr. Loomis doesn't respect parking laws. Michael Myers has problems with women. He also loves to play peekaboo.

A movie where sound is the killer! John Krasinski writes, directs and stars in A Quiet Place (2018) a genre bending horror also starring his own wife, Emily Blunt. Hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts break down the film and talk through the major themes of parenting, survival and disability. We ask the important questions like where do they get all that sand? Do all parents have dark fantasies about protecting their young? Was the monster itself scary? Is deafness represented as a potential asset in this film or a temporary and agonizing state of being? And how are we going to a do our True Horror segment for this one?
