  • DARK DISCUSSIONS PODCAST – Episode 461 – THE RENTAL (2020)
    Dave Franco, the younger brother of Mark Franco, has made his directorial debut with the horror/thriller movie, THE RENTAL (2020).  With tricks up its sleeve, the movie appears to be many things.  What it really seems to be is a mystery as the viewer tries to figure out who or what is the antagonist.
    When two brothers and their significant others take a vacation by renting a beautiful home on the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean, they get their interpersonal relationships all messed up when drugs is added to the picture.   But after two of them discover a secret within the house, their otherwise yuppie lives are turned upside down, and their lives suddenly are in danger.
    The movie is co-written by Franco and Joe Swanberg, actor of many genre films, and part of the mumblecore group of directors and writers that include Simon Barrett, Ti West, and Adam Wingard.  THE RENTAL stars Dave Franco’s wife, Alison Brie, along with Dan Stevens, Sheila Vand, and Jeremy Allen White.  Dark Discussions takes a look at this well received genre picture and gives their thoughts.

  • Dark Discussions Podcast – Episode 460 – THE DARK RED (2020)
    Director Dan Bush came to prominence in 2007 with his segment of the film, THE SIGNAL, a movie that somewhat a zombie film and somewhat science fiction.  The movie itself was a collaboration with two other directors where he helmed one of the three parts.  Afterwards, though prolific enough since, nothing was as prominent as that film.  Now in 2020, he returns with a movie that is getting a bit of buzz entitled THE DARK RED.
    Sybil Warren (April Billingsley) is a troubled woman who’s mother died while she was young and her eventual caregiver tragicly passed as well.  Landing in a sanitarium, she discusses with a psychiatrist how a group of cultists had stolen her baby and that there is a mysterious power that they possess.  After eventually agreeing her tale is preposterous, she is released and decides to find out the truth.
    THE DARK RED was co-written by Dan Bush and Conal Byrne and stars April Billingsley in a strong performance.  The movie played for two years on the festival circuit before finally arriving on VOD in 2020 to fairly good reviews.  Dark Discussions takes a look at this thriller and gives their thoughts.
