In this episode, Justin & Gary take a look at Andrzej Żuławski's controversial 1981 cult film POSSESSION!

This existential relationship drama (slash body horror?), inspired by the director's own painful divorce, is an acting showcase for its stars, Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani, and up until the last few years, was almost impossible to find in the US in its original, unedited form.

This week, we'll take a detailed look at Żuławski's career in his native Poland, how he was forced to leave his home country by Poland's Communist government, and the circumstances that led to him filming a movie that Time Out called "extreme but essential viewing".

Synopsis: A young woman left her family for an unspecified reason. The husband determines to find out the truth and starts following his wife. At first, he suspects that a man is involved. But gradually, he finds out more and more strange behaviors and bizarre incidents that indicate something more than a possessed love affair.

Think SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 2 was the end of the story? Oh, you sweet summer child. In this bonus episode, we take a quick detour through the rest of the franchise — from the incomprehensible SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 3: BETTER WATCH OUT! to the experimental oddity of SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 4: INITIATION, and the toy-obsessed weirdness of SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 5: THE TOY MAKER starring Mickey Rooney (yes, really). It’s a grab bag of direct-to-video holiday horror, loosely connected by name only — and we’re unwrapping them all.

In this holiday-themed installment of Cinema Shock Roulette, we’re decking the halls with blood and sleigh bells as we dive into the yuletide controversy of SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984) — the slasher that sparked national outrage and was pulled from theaters after just two weeks.

But we don’t stop there. We’re also unwrapping SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT PART 2, the low-budget sequel that reused nearly half the footage from the first film — and somehow gave us one of the most memeable moments in cult horror history: “Garbage Day!”

From protest picket lines to killer Santas, from Catholic guilt to VHS resurrection, we’re tracing the strange and sleazy legacy of this infamously naughty franchise.

In this bonus episode, Gary and Justin scour the internet to see what online armchair critics think of Paul W.S. Anderson's EVENT HORIZON! Turns out, plenty of people don't like it!

(Yep, this is the same feature that we previously called "Somebody Needs A Nap," just retitled for the feed!)

What if ALIEN had been directed by Clive Barker?

In this episode of Cinema Shock Roulette, we’re diving into EVENT HORIZON, Paul W.S. Anderson’s cult sci-fi horror film that famously crashed and burned at the box office before becoming a late-night classic.

We’ll explore the troubled production, including studio interference, a rushed edit, and the now-legendary lost footage. We’ll also dig into the film’s HELLRAISER-inspired depiction of Hell, the incredible set design, and how it ultimately found its audience among horror fans and convention goers years later.
