Todd was thrilled to finally introduce Craig to the official Troma catalog, and he selected one of their most recent horror-comedy-musicals that more or less accurately represents the notorious low-budget movie house’s wacky, no-holds-barred, punk sensibilities. What did Craig think of it? Have a listen to find out.

We love to do kid-oriented horror movies, and this week we turn once again to Tobe Hooper’s oeuvre for this modern update of the 1953 B-movie classic. It’s not the best, but it’s not the worst. Come join us for an in-depth review.

Jeepers Creepers 3 sprung on us suddenly last year, seemingly out of nowhere. With a limited release in theaters for one day only, and an almost immediate release on VOD, we had high hopes for this film, based on the previous two. Sadly, we had to join the chorus of mixed reviews. But admittedly, it’s complicated.  Major thanks to the many people who requested this one as we wrap up request month!

Normally we would wait until winter time to review a film about Nazi snow zombies, but we got several requests for this one. So we decided to throw it up during request month. And we both agree that this one is even better than the original. Non-stop fun from beginning to end, with an original plot and a funny cast, Dead Snow 2 gives Shaun of the Dead a run for its money.

Request month continues with this early 90’s (and it shows) film with an all-African-American cast and crew, produced by Troma, and featuring Samuel Jackson and Kadeem Hardison from A Different World. It may be a bit plodding, but at least it plods with some style.

This creepy story of a dog gone mad was a challenge to film back in the pre-CGI days of 1983. Based on a Stephen King novel, it departs from his book in a couple significant ways, which we discuss at length. Enjoy!

We wrap up our month of summer horror with another shark film. Very reminiscent of 2003 survival horror film Open Water, The Reef gives us a few more characters and a slightly different situation. It’s even also based on a true story.

What did we learn here, folks? We learned that some of these 90’s mainstream “horror craze” films have not aged as well as you might remember.

We’re back in Roger Corman’s camp with this sci-fi / horror hybrid that crawled out of the lake and into our hearts. Check out the blatant sexism of Humanoids from the Deep!

As a goofy time capsule of your typical 80’s film, it’s a fun ride through an improbably plot and even more improbable special effects. Still, some great actors generally make the best of the hilariously bad material they are given, making for an experience that could have been much more boring than it turned out to be.
