At long last, horror fans, welcome to The Shuddering! On our inaugural episode, co-hosts Chris Oliphant and Nick Rocco Scalia break down the nuts and bolts of the show, and then they take to Shudder to review a pair of films from first-time directors  who both  made a big impression right out of the (cemetery) gate. First up is Black Sunday, the 1960 film that first made Italian horror maestro Mario Bava a household name among fans of the genre. The film, a Gothic period piece about a vengeful witch rising from the grave to raise hell in early 1800s Moldavia, was ahead of its time not only for its shocking imagery but also with its masterfully realized atmosphere and Bava's incredible command of cinematic language; we couldn't have imagined a better film with which to kick off the show! And then, it's on to 2020's Caveat, a shocking Shudder exclusive that, thus far, is the first and only feature directed by Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy. You've surely seen the poster, with its dead-eyed, wildly creepy stuffed rabbit staring straight into the depths of your soul, but does the rest of the film live up to that unforgettable image? Our thoughts on that, and so much more about these two films, on the premiere of The Shuddering!
