The Horror Review

Join us for an in depth discussion and analysis of the 1989 family spooky adventure film Little Monsters.

Directed by: Richard Greenberg

Starring: Fred Savage and Howie Mandel

We’re switching it up a bit for our bonus holiday episode - this one is more light hearted than the other ‘80s picks this month. Definitely our most kid-friendly choice - however some questionable adult jokes did get snuck in there. This movie also features two actors from Home Alone and a kid with the engineering talent of Kevin McCallister sooooo holiday movie adjacent.

Scare-O-Meter Ratings:

Tasha - 2 out of 10

Julia - 2 out of 10

Jack-O-Lantern Ratings:

Julia - 3 out of 5

Tasha - 2.5 out of 5

Consensus: This film aged the least well of our 80s fever dream films so far but was still enjoyable for the nostalgic feels.

Join us for an in depth discussion and analysis of the 2016 supernatural horror film: The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Directed by: André Øvredal

Starring: Brian Cox, Emile Hirsch, and Olsen Catherine Kelly

This week we bring you a more recent film for our third instalment of spooky season. What starts off as almost a crime procedural plot turns into a supernatural mystery with each step of the title character’s autopsy. Olwen Catherine Kelly does a spectacular job as Jane Doe - although she doesn’t actually have any lines. As always spoilers ahead - this is definitely one you want to see before hearing the ending.

Scare-O-Meter Ratings:

Tasha - 8 out of 10

Julia - 6 out of 10

Jack-O-Lantern Ratings:

Julia - 3 out of 5

Tasha - 4.5 out of 5

Consensus: One of Tasha’s favourites - Julia is slightly less enthused . . . a solid choice for spooky season.

Jack-o-lantern Ratings:

Tasha - 2.5 out of 5
Consensus: The themes of this film live very much in the Stephen King world of moral ambiguity. His disadain for religion and thoughts on humanity come out in full force. It's a very intriguing albeit bleak character study in an end of the world scenario. A recommended watch and thoughtful perspective.
