It’s Evil Mirror Image Week on Pod Sematary! In this episode, Kelsey rubs her gum on an old, dusty mirror and Chris makes out with his reflection! Thanks for the recommendations, Diane!

The Classic Film: Mirror Mirror (1990)
"A teenage girl begins receiving black magic power through an antique mirror that drips blood, not realizing the mirror is controlled by demonic forces” (IMDb.com). Yet another horror movie that doesn't know what a monkey's paw is, Mirror Mirror still manages to be quite a lot of confusing fun.

The Modern Film: Look Away (2018)
"Look Away is a psychological thriller that tells the story of Maria, an alienated high-school student whose life is turned upside down when she switches places with her sinister mirror image” (Vertical Entertainment). This film picked a metaphor that it completely undermines with its own core premise, if that's any indication of its overall quality.

061 - Burnt Offerings (1976) & Rose Red (2002)

CW: Sexual Assault

This week on Pod Sematary, Kelsey & Chris are watching two movies all about haunted houses that feed off their living inhabitants!

First up is Burnt Offerings from 1976! A small family rents a run-down mansion as a summer home that seems too good to be true. As the mother falls more and more in love with the property, the father and son find more reasons to be worried. This film was critically derided in is day and Chris & Kelsey can't for the life of them figure out why!

Then it's on to the 2002 television miniseries event, Rose Red! A team of psychics with unique skills investigate the most haunted house in America, but this dead cell is not as dormant as it seems! Stephen King wrote this one directly for the small screen, but is that combination its downfall? Not if you ask Kelsey!
