All right, welcome back, everyone, to Brian and Lance's 31 days of horror.
Is it 31 days?
31 nights.
Does it matter, Brian, these days?
I go with days.
Yeah, I tend to watch most of mine in the morning before everybody's awake.
Because a lot of folks around here don't necessarily always like the horror movies,
especially the ones with religious or demonic undertones.
Mm, gotcha.
So, uh, keeping it cool, man.
All right, 31 Days of Horror.
This is episode three.
And I think we went through 15 so far, if I'm not mistaken.
Is that, am I close?
I think so.
I think we're on number 16.
All right, dude.
If you want to kick it off, we'll get this party started.
All right, number, my, this week's list is going to be more thriller-based, as you put it in,
episode one
horror adjacent
okay
I have a few of those
I went to
screen box for this one
it's a Norwegian
thriller
from 2024
it's called
above the knee
is it about
midgets
with hockey sticks
no
that would have been
a little bit more
entertaining
I read the synopsis
and I thought it was
going to be worth a lot
It's kind of slow.
And it's only an hour and 16, but it felt like it was longer.
It had a good idea.
It's basically this guy, he has this obsession with his leg that he thinks it's rotting
and he wants to cut it off.
And he spends the majority of the movie hallucinating that it's rotting and bleeding.
And he's making, he's preparing himself to cut it off.
He also meets this woman who kind of has the same situation except with her eyes.
And she eventually wants to take her eyes.
Okay.
And it's got decent gore in it, but it just took too long.
It was just this guy going through his daily situation with his girlfriend and his job.
and he's slowly
kind of
going into madness
over this obsession
because he keeps
it's subtitled
so I might have missed something
because I never got
why he has this obsession
why does he think his legs
just rotting
lost in translation
huh?
Yeah like he
looks at his leg
and he sees like
his foot like
literally like bleeding
and rotting
and then somebody
will come in the office
to talk
to him and then he'll snap right out of it and then he'll look at his leg again and it's normal
this sounds like it sounds like a student film or something man it was well made well directed
the acting wasn't too bad it just for an hour and 15 i thought it was just going to be
straight to the point but again maybe maybe i miss something because i do tend to have to watch
subtitle always twice
Yeah, makes sense.
Yeah, be too.
But, I mean, dude, but how long can it be?
All right, so you got two legs.
So let's assume he's going to cut off both.
So 10 second segment cutting off the first leg and another,
well, let's say he's suffering from blood loss,
so it takes him 30 seconds to cut off the second one.
Where's this going to go here?
I mean, the eye thing, I don't know, man.
Am I missing something?
well like I said he he has a girlfriend the woman with the eyes thing is a separate other woman
that he's kind of meeting on the side so he's hiding this from his girlfriend he's trying to
be the good boyfriend and at work he's trying to be the good employee and slowly everybody starts
to realize there's something going on he doesn't seem normal he seems agitated irritated
and this is on screen box
yeah
all right so if people have it anyway
it's no harm no foul
except the hour and 15 minutes then
yeah i mean it's a short watch
just for me personally
it felt like it was longer
because i just wanted something to happen
i mean something does eventually happen
and you do see him hallucinate
like like i said his foot
his foot rotting and
him
I guess
daydreaming of him
cutting his own leg off. You do see that.
But maybe it's just
not enough story for me.
I can understand that.
I mean, I have trouble even
envisioning someone making a movie.
I guess you've got to give props to the
filmmaker to take such a
wonky idea and stretch
it out to an hour and 50 minutes, maybe.
Yeah, I'm going to do some digging.
Maybe this was a short film
that he turned into a,
feature link film.
I could see that.
Above the knee?
Yeah.
And it's Norwegian.
So did you think you were getting into like funny games at first, something like that,
or did you kind of know what you were getting into?
No, I kind of, because when I was looking up the synopsis, I saw the poster and the guy
standing there with one leg.
So I'm like, oh, this is like some kind of body horror slasher film, but no.
What a spoiler?
It's more psychological thriller.
So I would ask you, does he really cut his leg off at the end?
But I guess that would spoil everything, huh?
Well, spoilers.
Skip ahead 30 seconds.
Three, two, one.
Yes, he does.
Okay.
So it's a happy ending.
He gets what he wanted.
In my opinion for him, the way it ended,
it's exactly a happy end and he got exactly what he wanted.
Okay.
All right.
Happy for the guy.
All right.
And then you get the eye trauma girl.
Man, you picked a weird one, dude.
Is this a 2025 release or an older movie?
It was a 2024, but it got the screen box exclusive.
So I guess you can call it a 2025.
Yeah, I would think so.
I don't think I'm going to add it.
You haven't sold me.
No, I know you, Lance.
I don't think you'll enjoy this one, so you can skip this one.
All right.
I'll skip.
I'll skip.
All right.
16 for you?
Yeah, 16.
So, yeah, one thing that's weird about me that not a whole lot of people know, but I think you do.
I think I've told you this.
I've never missed a single episode of Saturday Night Live from,
1975 on?
Yeah.
Yeah. So one of my favorite contributors
during Weekend Update there for about
a three-year period was
I think you know what I'm getting at here, right?
So I'm going to look this movie up here
because when I say Pete Davidson,
this is not what I think about.
I think you've seen this one actually.
Oh, the home?
Yeah, yeah, the home.
I was trying to look up what other movies he's done.
Oh, yeah, so he did the King of Staten Island
that had some comedic elements, right?
Yeah, it was more comedic drama.
He did bodies, bodies, bodies.
Yeah, and that was comedic with horror.
The pickup, I haven't seen it yet.
You have, I think, right?
Yeah, it's...
Is he the straight guy, or...
No, he's the comedic guy.
Good Burger 2, Pure Comedy.
The Freak Brothers.
I don't know what that is.
Okay, dumb money, pure comedy.
Fast X.
Definitely, he was the comic relief.
Yeah, look, dude, this is so different for him.
I can't get into it.
I mean, I don't want to see Pete Davidson as a straight man.
And I get it.
You know, it's a story that they're building.
And it gets convoluted for me at the end.
like really convoluted, but I did kind of enjoy that final scene with the needles in the eyes
and the reason that those old people are keeping all the folks up on the top floor of the
old folks home and stuff. But I want a funny Pete Davidson, man. I can't handle this
completely straight-faced, try to be in every man. Was it just me, dude, or did you get that
impression too. Like it didn't work for me.
It didn't work for me because it was
something different for him. I mean, you got the
wackiness near the end, like that
final sequence.
Yeah, I know, but it wasn't him,
I don't know, it wasn't his normal
shtick for me. Maybe I'll watch it again.
Because I did like that
finale that you're talking about, where it went
completely off the rails.
And I kind of understand
what they were doing and why they were doing it.
it's kind of a complicated
for a movie that you're
when I was watching
I was just kind of trying to rush through it
and there were scenes where I'd like
go into the kitchen and start cooking something
and I'd come back and had no idea
what was going on.
Yeah, I guess you.
And then with his brother and
the old people, the young people,
the stealing of the youth.
And it's a great concept.
I'll probably watch it again.
I just,
I like my Pete Davidson to have kind of a comedian.
slant to him at least a little bit.
I got you.
Like his, the way that hit, the way the quote-unquote murder happened when you finally got to see
his little video, he never posted at the end of Bodies, Bodies, Bodies, that's like my Pete
Davidson.
And this thing was just like, I'm being completely serious now.
There's nothing funny about this.
You know, I don't know.
But it was okay.
I like the, the Batshit ending.
not terrible, but I'm ready to move on.
All right, number 17 for me.
I believe you've seen this one.
Excuse my dog barking in the background.
This one is a 2025 release on Shutter.
It is a French-American horror film called Other.
Yeah.
Now, I can't wait until you explain to me
what this is really all about
what the fuck's going on in this movie
because I really want to know.
This is from the director
David Maru
he did that movie Mads.
I think you and me seen that last year.
I like that one
because that's the one that was filmed in real time
and it was the outbreak that was going on
and it's kind of cool the way it went like
from one party to another party
and then like the chase scenes
and the street and stuff like that
but like they kept it so kinetic
that I believe
the single shot concept
on that one? I thought they did that one extremely
well.
Visually, this one has some things
going for it, right?
Yeah, I think he has an eye
for that kind of stuff.
It stars, I'm going to butcher
her last name, Olga
Currie Linko.
She's Taskmaster and Black Widow
and Thunderbolts.
Okay. And I think
she was a bond girl on one of the
recent bonds.
movies. Yeah, there haven't been too many terribly recent. That must have been at least 10 years ago, you think?
Yeah. I guess it's hard to say. Daniel Craig Bond movies, she was a Bond girl. Okay. I don't remember
that specifically. She's a nice-looking lady. Yeah. Essentially, this is about this woman named Alice.
Her mother dies and she has to go back to her childhood home to take care of.
care of some affairs and she hasn't been there for a while because of reasons that the
movie gets into and then strange occurrences happened in the house.
Very strange.
Yeah.
Which I like, I like the strange occurrences and sorry, my dog's distracting me.
I like the strange occurrences.
I like her kind of not knowing if it's in her head.
head because she has some childhood trauma that she's dealing with being at home or if it's
really happening.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, now it makes a little bit more sense.
So you're basically saying that it's a narrator that you can't really depend on for accuracy.
It's like don't take everything literally.
Okay.
That makes a little more sense now.
Yeah, like the lady without spoiling anything, the lady that keeps popping up on her bicycle.
Yeah, is that a lady or a little boy?
I didn't necessarily know if that was really happening or not.
I didn't either.
I heard the voice.
You ever heard of this?
I don't know if she's on just reels or TikTok or whatever.
My wife watches her all the time.
The voice was exactly the same.
The entitled housewife?
You ever heard of this character?
Oh, I think I've heard of her.
I thought,
said,
AJ, is that the
entitled housewife?
It sounds just like her voice.
But then toward the end,
I thought it was a little boy,
like a teenage boy or something.
You couldn't tell because she had a mask on
and she clearly was changing her voice.
But there was parts in a movie
where I was kind of like,
is this person really there?
Is this person involved?
What's going on?
Yeah.
And then, like, on the walkie-talkie, like, okay, now go down into this cellar.
And then they get, she gets locked in the cellar and that character's like, I'm doing this to protect you.
And I'm like, why?
I don't know.
It looked beautiful.
I mean, she's, like I say, she's pretty on the eyes.
I guess I kind of like the way they, I don't know if you notice that they would always show people like in the background out of focus.
Yeah.
So you can really see a lot of faces.
And then, like, she hit the security camera early on in the house.
And she had, like, this cracked security camera every time someone walked up.
And then, like you said, people were wearing masks.
I thought that was a strange choice.
I thought, are we going, like, in the direction of men here?
Like, at first, I thought it was going to be, like, all these men were out together or something like that.
Kind of weird.
I've got questions.
You've explained it a little bit.
the way you put it that we can't really count on her narration makes a lot more sense now.
Yeah, I think it probably deserves a rewatch.
You probably pick up more things on the second rewatch,
but I think it's a decent little horror, thriller, a little drama mixed in there.
Sure.
And, yeah, if you got Shudder, AMC Plus, you should have AMC Plus,
because you get Shudder and everything else.
yeah amc plus is one of the best deals in streaming i think
all right number 17 for you
17 was bloody axe wound
opening sequence
opening sequence of nighan being nigan
yeah
and uh not too much more of nighan
i really kind of love this story dude it was
it was silly it was very indie feeling it was completely off the wall
it's kind of my jam.
A lot of people, I know our buddy Matt,
I think, put a comment on there like,
boy, you're really dragging the bottom of the barrel
with some of the movies this year.
So I don't think everybody loved it,
but I enjoyed it.
That was a fun movie.
I mean, what did you think about it?
You saw it when it first came out, I guess, right?
Yeah, I like the whole aspect of their,
these slasher movies are actually being,
I guess, filmed for real.
kind of had a meta
snuff films
yeah
like you'd see posters
on a video store and that was for the
upcoming murder
slash slasher movie
that was going to take place
I like that idea
it's got me
wondering about our buddy Steve
you know the way he collects all those
VCR tapes I wonder if any
of those are his handiwork
He's got a lot of explaining because he has a lot of VHS tapes.
He does. He does. More than creep even. Yeah, I enjoyed it, man. I loved all the way they took a lot of the horror tropes.
And you didn't get the final girl. I like that scene when they were all in the cabin and they thought they'd take it like an upper to stay awake, kind of like Freddie Krueger style.
But they started all like getting sleepy and like, are you sure those were uppers? That was kind of cool.
I liked all the characters.
I liked the low-key love story.
I liked her relationship with her dad.
I liked the backstory on him
where he looks like death-formed over
because he's so very old, right?
Because of all the times he's been killed
and burned and whatever
and come back to life like Jason.
I just thought it tied a lot of really cool,
old-school horror elements together.
It had a little bit of a retro look,
but everything was like super modern.
And I got a kick out of this one.
This is one I'm glad I watched.
I really enjoyed it.
All right, cool.
Number 18 from me, I went with something light after above the knee and other.
Okay.
This one is a to be original.
It's R.L. Stein's new movie Pumpkinhead.
I saw that.
it worth watching?
For the kids.
I don't think you'll necessarily enjoy it yourself unless you watch it with some young
children.
It's more goosebumps than Fear Street.
I'll put it that way.
Okay.
But is it fun?
It's okay.
It'll probably be on the lesser end.
Okay.
Well, shoot.
It does have a very dark ending for a kids movie.
really yeah
but the
majority of the movie
is basically your typical
like goosebumps slash kids
on bike type
horror movie PG 13
style
kid moves a kid in his family moves to a new town
town's kind of weird
he messes with
this old guy's farm where he finds
this pumpkin for some
fucking weird reason
he takes the pumpkin and he wasn't
supposed to take the pumpkin and he unleashes
some kind of curse.
Was the set design?
Was the set design awesome?
Like those, like real Halloween-ish?
Yeah, it takes place
during Halloween, so.
Yeah, okay. I like that.
I like that.
Yeah, it's, it has its fun
moments and like I said, the way it ended,
I was just kind of like, for the way
this movie was going on, that's kind of,
fucked up.
That's cool.
Was it better than
Hubey Halloween?
Yeah, I'd definitely watch this over
Hubey Halloween.
Okay.
So check out if you're
a fan of R.L. Stein,
I'd say check it out.
It's a tubi original.
I got you.
Well, I would say, because I'm going to be
in Houston this weekend, I would say
I'd watch it with the seven-year-old
granddaughter.
But the last movie, she and I watched together, was Terrify her too.
So that's her taste in movies at seven years old.
And I watched, you remember that one we saw the trailer for Brian Monster Summer with
Mel Gibson?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's four kids.
And that ended.
And she said, Papa, that was one of the silliest things I've ever seen in my life.
Can we watch something good?
And so I put it on centers and she loved it.
so she may not go for this right no i don't think so okay all right we're moving on yeah
your number 18 okay 18 brian i'm i'm what you call a disney adult are you familiar with the
term yes disney adult uh all the way so this next movie and you know i'm not typically a huge
fan of the, you know,
Bambi reckoning
and Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey
and, but there's
this little one called, oh, and we hated
that one last year with
Mickey in it, the Mousetrap.
Oh, the teleporter?
Well, I think they made up for it.
I think they made up for it this year, man,
with a little movie called Screamboat.
I think you've seen it. Yes, I have.
Friend of the show, David Howard Thornton
as a little rat.
I didn't know he's going to be a tiny rat, dude.
I saw the costume for him on a poster,
and I thought, okay, he's going to be human size, but he isn't, is he?
I don't even think the trail has even made you think he was going to be that size.
Yeah, that was what I thought going in, man.
I was delighted with this movie.
Absolutely delighted.
I think I caught every single Disney
uh,
Easter egg.
So they had,
they,
they went for it too,
man.
He even sang the literal,
or he whistled,
I should say,
because all he did was whistle.
He whistled the literal,
um,
theme song from the beginning of every fucking Disney movie.
That they show in the credits from Steamboat Willie.
Now,
how the fuck can they get away with that,
Brian?
I think you can whistle it.
I don't think you can sing the words.
Well,
well,
well,
they found the loophole because he's over there on the,
killing people,
off and beheading the captain of the of the uh oh yeah and they're on the long island ferry so you get a
bunch of new york and long island jokes in there yeah so that was kind of funny yeah dude it all started
with um the disney princesses right getting on the getting on the the ferry boat and he proceeds
to kill them off and i would show it to the granddaughter but there's one scene in particular that
you might remember where a guy loses a certain
bodily member.
And I don't know if I want to see that with
anyone in the family.
Other than that, though, man, it was great.
And the way they would just work it into the script,
like, I'm telling you after this,
we're going to see a whole new world.
And then, of course, you know, the guy saying,
do you have any food on the boat?
They say, be our guest.
I won't go on with anymore.
You get the idea.
I love Screenboat, man.
It was fun.
I love the way they made him tiny.
I love the way they brought on mini, but not many.
I love the way that the final girl kind of tricked him at the end there,
dressing up as many.
Yeah.
It was a hoot, dude.
I enjoyed it.
Nice.
All right.
Number 19 for me is a trailer or a movie that we've been.
a movie that we reviewed the trailer a while ago.
A little creature feature,
core comedy called Scared Shitless.
Oh, I gotta find this one.
Is it streaming or rental?
Rental.
All right.
This one I do want to see. What did you think?
I thought it was pretty decent.
It had nothing but practical effects in it.
Okay.
And it had our boy Stephen Og,
aka Simon from the Walking Dead.
was the lead.
Okay. Nice.
A cameo from Mark McKinney from the kids in the hall.
Oh, okay. They're always hilarious.
So basically this monster, creature, whatever you want to call it, gets loose in a apartment building.
Stephen Og and his son are plumbers.
They discover it and they have to do battle.
the
said creature
and that's pretty much your movie
it's pretty straight to the point
I like it I like it
so yeah
I enjoyed it
the comedy didn't hit all the time with me
but I think you should see it
if you appreciate practical effects
it is it a shit monster
not necessarily
but it does come out
from the toilet
okay
all right well I'm in dude
I got to find it.
If I can find it in time, I'll add it to my 31 days.
If not, I'll check it out next month.
But, yeah, this one I was kind of interested in from the trailer.
All right, moving on.
Yeah, number 19 for you.
19 would be another documentary.
So this is my third documentary of the month.
It's, and easily the best.
Jaws at 50.
Okay, I wanted to.
I haven't seen it.
I wanted to see it.
You'll love it, dude.
They go really deep into,
yeah, obviously they do the setup
where they talk about the novel,
which came just barely before the movie,
and then they talk about
the beginning parts of the ideas for the movie,
and then they start talking about, like, critical reception.
And this is all kind of like in the overview, right,
at the beginning of it.
So this is all, like, in the first 10 minutes.
I'm not really spoiling any of the things that you're going to learn.
I really don't want to give things away,
because it's trivia that I never would have known
and now I can throw it out on trivia night
or impress people with it
because you learn a shitload in this movie.
It's just fact after fact after fact.
And it's like inside stuff.
And you get Spielberg on there a lot
as well as other people that were in the movie.
You learn how they picked the cast.
You learn why they chose the location.
You learn all the problems they had with Bruce.
You learn just not just things that we all.
all know about Jaws, but a lot of inside baseball stuff.
It's really cool.
And you got to love a movie that gives you a critical review from Fidel Castro.
Early on, and they say, oh, we should use that on the box.
And I think they did.
I don't know if he gave his permission, but, you know, running a communist country, who cares, right?
So a lot of fun, man, I don't want to give away any of the same.
secrets, you got to watch it. And it's not super long. It might be like an hour and 40 minutes or something
like that. So definitely worth to watch. It's streaming on Disney Plus and Hulu.
Okay. Number 20 for me is a 2025 horror film called Your Host.
Your host? Yeah. Basically, this is the premise. Imagine Saw, but instead of torture rooms,
they're on a sadistic game show.
Sounds fun.
And the host is played by Jackie Earl Haley.
And I'm going to have to go out on the limb and say he was fucking entertaining in this one as the psychotic game show host.
It gets into the reason why these people are, why he's doing this to these people and where his background and all like that.
But I just liked it.
It was to the point.
It was fun.
practical kills.
Other than Jackie or
Haley, I didn't recognize anybody
in the cast. The main girl,
she's a cutie, the final girl.
I like turning it.
Gotcha.
So, fun watch.
Oh, cool. All right. Yeah, that's definitely
on the list. Yeah, it's
sounds like a fun movie.
And Jackie Earl Haley, he's got to be better
than, but not Jackie Earl Haley.
What's his name again?
I'm sorry.
Better than who are we talking about?
Was it Jackie Earl Haley?
You did say that, yeah.
Okay, sorry, dude.
I was getting him confused with somebody else.
Okay.
The dude who played Freddie Kruger?
Jackie Earl Haley.
Oh, okay.
Thanks for sending me straight.
Okay.
I'd say it's been a long night, but it's just getting started.
So I can't use that.
Yeah, definitely.
More funner to watch him as this game show host than Freddie Kruger.
Understood.
And I believe you.
All right.
What are we on?
20.
Pick my list.
Okay, well, we already talked about other.
I don't know what else I need to say about it.
You've convinced me of a rewatch.
Now that I know that it's kind of that American psycho type,
is it really going on or not deal?
I think I might watch it in a different light.
Because the visuals.
were amazing.
And I remember the score being really good too.
So I'll give it a second watch, Brian.
All right.
Number 21 for me is a
horror action thriller called
Delivery Run.
Okay.
Nobody you would recognize in this one.
Basically
food delivery guy.
He's desperate for money.
He has gambling problem.
He owes money.
He's trying to get money together.
On one of his
food delivery runs, he
encounters a
I guess you would call him like a serial killer
that drives a semi-truck.
Sounds fun, dude.
And he's basically chasing him through
it's a game of cat and mouse
through the entire movie.
Oh my God.
And it's pretty, it's pretty
fucking decent for a little independent
movie in a movie that I don't recognize.
Not one person I don't think I recognize them in.
Okay, what's this movie called again?
Delivery run.
Delivery run. Let me take a look here.
All right. Yeah, pretty new.
2024, so what, it could be 2025.
I have seen this poster.
The poster does look familiar and looks like it's
more on the rental front.
Yeah.
Damn.
I don't know, dude.
You've really got me interested in this one.
I got to check this one out.
I like everything about this plot.
All right.
You're number 21 then.
Number 21 is going to be for me.
You're talking about slipping out of horror a little bit.
I didn't have any idea how just how out of horror this movie was going to be.
The woman in Cabin 10, have you heard of this?
Yes, Netflix movie, right?
It is. It is.
Kira Knightley, I think is her name.
I like her.
You can skip this one.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, it's the dumbest plot I've ever heard of.
And I guess it's based on a novel, so maybe the book was...
What's the general plot?
It's...
Man, I don't want to spoil it, because it's like...
The whole thing...
Things are spoiler.
You know what I mean?
Like 20 minutes in, once you start learning the mystery,
it's like it kind of changes everything,
all the dynamics of all the character interactions and stuff.
And if I say too much,
then anybody that hasn't seen it yet,
it's going to be ruined for him if you catch my meaning.
All right.
The setup was awesome, right?
Because the setup reminded me of like, you know,
Knives Out or Glass Onion,
where they're bringing all these rich douchebag characters.
together, but
they,
Ryan Johnson didn't direct this
from brother.
This is not,
this is not that clever.
But anyway,
we,
yes, we can move on.
All right,
we are going to finish
this episode
with number 22,
and this one
released
last night
from, as we're recording,
and that is
the hand that rocks
the cradle.
Oh, the new one.
I have to say
I don't like it as much as I do the original one
but I thought it was a pretty decent remake.
They made enough changes.
It did the thing where they took the idea of the original one
and then they made some changes to it.
Okay.
And I like that.
Michael Monroe knocked it out the park
as far as I'm concerned as a villain.
Okay.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the mother
with the mother slash wife of the family.
They changed the reason for the revenge, which I like that.
Because it wasn't, it wasn't a, basically it wasn't a shot-for-shot remake.
Okay.
That's good.
That's good.
And there were two instances where there was pretty graphic gore that I was not expecting.
Two scenes where I was just kind of like,
well that's definitely nothing to happen in the original movie so i i appreciated that so
that's cool the husband the husband in it is a i use this word all the time when i'm describing
these characters he's a fucking weenie he's a scoot mcnary yeah i mean like if your wife is
like going crazy and hysterical and trying to tell you something listen to your wife that's usually a good
Don't be a fucking weenie and be like, oh, I don't know.
Yeah.
How do you know that's true?
And I'm like, shut up.
I got you.
Did they have the same secondary plot line where there was the guy that was gardening or working on the property that she tried to pin everything on?
No.
And I'm assuming for reasons that they, you talk about the Solomon character, the, Ernie Hudson?
Mm-hmm.
No, they didn't have a mentally challenged handyman in this movie.
Gotcha.
Which I thought there was a second there, I was kind of like, where is this character going to show up?
But after a while, I was just kind of like, we don't seem to need to meet this character.
Almost seems like a totally different story.
Yeah, a little bit.
I mean, same outline, but, you know, just as certain things moved around to make it its own thing.
Gotcha.
But if you're a fan of Michael Monroe, you should be watching it anyways.
You got it, dude.
I'm going to watch it just for the two actors alone, no doubt.
And sexy time with the Michael Monroe.
And the daddy?
Change it, Lance.
Okay.
All right.
Ready?
Yeah.
Moving on.
Your last one.
My last one and not best.
Oh, no.
825 Forest Road.
Wasn't that disappointing?
825 Forest Road,
a.k.a. nothing happens, but a bunch of people
standing around talking about ghosts that are never seen on screen.
Yeah, from the makers of
Hellhouse LLC.
I know. Cognetti. It's our boy Cognetti.
He let me down with this one.
I do not want to have him on the show again right now.
I did not enjoy this movie, dude.
I'm not hearing great things about the last hell house.
We haven't seen that yet, have we?
No, I think by the time listeners hear this episode,
I think that will be on Shudder.
Okay, all right.
I'm assuming you and me will probably talk about it next week.
Yeah, I'll watch it, guaranteed, and pray.
Because I like the dude.
He was fun to talk to, but I'll pray that it's better than this piece of shit.
this was fucking horrible dude you had the
the husband and the wife moving into the house
and everybody's so
so low-key about
it's almost like you're talking about with the hand it rocks
the cradle like the woman's seeing things
and the dude doesn't believe her
and then you get the sister and they try to be
oh so clever with the three
chapters that are
the three different points of view so they try
to they try to kind of do what
was successfully done in weapons
right where it's kind of
story changes a little bit because now you're seeing it from this person's point of view.
But when literally nothing happens, it doesn't really matter.
Like, okay, I just saw them get a Coca-Cola out of the refrigerator from the left angle.
Now I'm seeing them get a Coca-Cola out of the refrigerator from a right angle.
Now I'm seeing the third story where they're getting a sprite out of the refrigerator.
It's that bad, dude.
You haven't seen it?
I've seen it.
I was disappointed.
I couldn't tell you really anything.
I remember.
I remember being that bored of it.
The creepiest thing that happens is there's a mannequin that the lady uses because she does like a vlog.
And it moves around and ends up outside.
Yeah, I remember that part.
Moving on.
All right.
Is that it for this week?
That is it for this week.
Next week will be our final installment for,
2025 is
31 days of horror.
Very nice. Very nice. We're going to make it
this year. So this is
Brian and Lance signing out.
And until next time we meet,
stay spooky.
