One classic. One modern. All horror.

One couple talking about old and new horror movies, because of course.

067 - The Legend Of Hell House (1973) & Winchester (2018) →

January 13, 2019 by Pod Sematary in Worst of 2019

CW: Suicide

Worst of 2019 - #7 Winchester

It's another Haunted House episode of Pod Sematary! This week, Chris & Kelsey discuss two films whose endings don't earn them any favors!

The Classic Film: The Legend of Hell House (1973)
This one is incredibly well filmed with tons of dramatic angles and beautiful shots. It handles the concept of hauntings so well that the very end makes you go, "Wait, what?"

The Modern Film: Winchester (2018)
At first, we thought the hate for this film was over-blown. It didn't seem THAT bad. But as it went on, the bad editing, basic structure problems, over-arching thematic issues, and failure to execute on even simple filmmaking skills set it up to fall even flatter as a whole than the ridiculous climactic scenes.

Plus!
We talk about the popular mommy-horror Bird Box and relationship-horror You!

021 - Double Feature - Fright Night (1985 & 2011) →

February 26, 2018 by Pod Sematary

This week's episode was suggested by listener Brian S. He recommended we do a double feature on Fright Night and we were happy to oblige since the 1985 original is one of our favorites! But is the 2011 3D remake too much like Twilight? Listen and find out!

Write us at podsematary@gmail.com if you'd like to suggest a movie, too!
