Reviewed: Terrifier 3, Sleepy Hollow

The fog rolls in low, the branches creak in the dark forest, and scattered leaves float on the breeze. The atmosphere of Fall is heavy this Halloween season, so this week on CinemaJaw we take a look at our Top 5 Atmospheric Horror Movies.

We do this in honor of our retro review, we celebrated its director all last month, of Sleepy Hollow. Does this Burton/Depp vehicle hold up after 25 years?

But we also have something new for you as well. Art the Clown is back for another swing in the surprise hit Terrifier 3 (out now). We peel back the wrapper to see if this indie blood bath has guts, or is it just empty gore?

It’s a jam-packed jaw as always.

Reviewed: We Live In Time, The Outrun

This episode marks 15 years of CinemaJaw. What a wild and amazing journey. Here’s to 15 more!

This week on the show we have a duo of reviews for you… but do they have chemistry? So much is made about a duo of actors that perform in a dual lead when they seem to “click” or have “chemistry” as they say. The performances feel that much better. This week in honor of our review of We Live In Time (Andrew Garfield/Florence Pugh) we are delving into dynamic duos that bring that spark when united, with our Top 5 Chemistry Duos in Film.

We have an additional review of the new Saoirse Ronan vehicle, The Outrun, and no – it’s not based on the 80s racing video game.

Jam Packed Jaws For 15 Years!

Reviewed: Wolfs, Alien Weekend, Super/Man: the Christopher Reeve Story

In this episode, we delve into some duos.

In honor of our review of the new film, Wolfs (no typo), which sees George Clooney and Brad Pitt reunited on the silver screen (and it feels so good), we are choosing our top 5 from their combined Filmographies.

To unpack this dynamic screen duo of Pitt and Clooney, we bring in our own Screen duo of Krueger and King, betrothed collaborators with a fresh film on Amazon Prime!

Jada Krueger is an actress born and raised in IL. Her passion for acting began at 14 when she performed in her high school’s plays and musicals. After that, she studied at the Second City (formerly Harold Ramis) Film School in Chicago and later took acting classes at The Green Shirt Studio. In 2023, Jada was cast as the lead role, Violet in Alien Weekend created by Taylor King. Alien Weekend is her first leading role in a feature film. Soon, she will be seen leading in 3 more feature films, and she is going on to her first series beginning in October.

Her Fiance Taylor King was born in Torrance California, opting out of film school to start a production company, New Zealand Son Films, with his father Sean King in 2015. Taylor has produced over 20 films and television series half of which he has written and directed. He is about to start production on “The Salem Sisters”, a 12-episode series following the story of three young witches.

These are a pair of filmmakers to follow, and I do recommend Alien Weekend!

It’s a jam-packed Jaw as always!

This week on CinemaJaw we slither and writhe over our Top 5 Snake Scenes in Film. Of course, this is in honor of our review of the (sometimes snake) Ghost with the Most… Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!

Joining us is a very special guest, Ali from Ali’s Reptile Den. Ali is a lifelong animal enthusiast who, growing up, idolized legendary conservationists like Jungle Jack Hannah, Steve Irwin, and more. Today, as an adult, his love for these incredible creatures has only grown stronger and he’s made it his mission to carry forward the legacies of his heroes by inspiring and educating others about the crucial importance of protecting our planet’s diverse biodiversity.

Of course we are also plugging our upcoming collaboration with Ali, The Music Box of Horrors, and Shudder – on October 8th we are co-presenting a special screening of the cult snake movie, Ssssssss (don’t say it hiss it). Here’s the skinny on that and a link:

A new month begins, and CinemaJaw starts with a new Celebrity of the Month. For September, we wanted that pumpkin spice—enter Tim Burton. We will be celebrating Tim’s career all month long!

A double dose of reviews for you this week. Strange Darling, a film where the less you say the better, and a new take on The Crow… it’s all sure to be controversial between Matt and Ryan.

In honor of Strange Darling, which is told out of order, Matt K. and Ry The Movie Guy tackle their top 5 nonlinear movies—but not necessarily in that order.
