This week, we’re diving into No Other Choice, the latest film from Park Chan-wook — a filmmaker known for twisting morality, obsession, and violence into something darkly hypnotic. In this episode, we explore the film’s pitch-black sense of humor, razor-sharp tension, and the way Park once again traps his characters inside systems designed to break them. We’ll talk themes, performances, and how No Other Choice fits alongside his past work, all without spoiling the film’s turns.

We are stepping out of our horror comfort zone, and counting down our Top 10 Movies of the Year — the films that moved us, challenged us, and stayed with us long after the credits rolled. From blockbusters to indie gems, genre standouts to quiet surprises, we debate what worked, what narrowly missed the list, and why these ten earned a spot in our final rankings. Expect big opinions, friendly arguments, and a full-year celebration of the movies that defined our cinematic year.

This week, we step into the dance academy and compare two radically different nightmares: Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977) and Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria (2018). Same premise, same title — completely different approaches to horror.

We break down how Argento’s original became a technicolor fever dream of sound, style, and supernatural menace, while the 2018 remake transforms the story into a slow-burn exploration of trauma, power, and political horror. From neon lighting and Goblin’s iconic score to muted palettes and oppressive dread, these films feel less like remake and original and more like alternate realities.

Is one version definitively better, or do they succeed in entirely different ways? We discuss atmosphere, performances, themes, and why Suspiria remains one of the most fascinating examples of how horror can be reimagined without losing its soul.

This week, we’re stepping inside The Housemaid — a domestic thriller that proves the scariest secrets are often hiding in plain sight. We break down the film’s unsettling power dynamics, simmering tension, and the slow creep of dread that builds behind closed doors. Without spoiling the twists, we’ll talk performances, atmosphere, and why The Housemaid taps into a very specific kind of discomfort that lingers long after the credits roll.

We’re heading back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza in this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's as we take on Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the video game–turned–horror franchise. With the animatronics returning and the mythology expanding, the film aims to build on the eerie foundation of the first movie while pushing the story deeper into the dark history of Freddy’s.

We discuss how the sequel ups the tension, expands the lore for longtime fans, and leans harder into the unsettling atmosphere that made the games so iconic. Does Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 strike a better balance between jump scares and storytelling? And how well does it serve both newcomers and die-hard fans of the franchise?

Grab your flashlight, check the security cameras, and join us as we break down the scares, the world-building, and where the series might be heading next.

For this bonus episode we dive into Dust Bunny, a dark fantasy horror film that takes a familiar childhood fear and twists it into something far more sinister. Blending creature horror with fairy-tale menace, the movie explores what happens when imaginary monsters refuse to stay imaginary.

We talk about the film’s eerie visual style, its off-kilter tone, and how it walks the line between whimsy and nightmare. Does Dust Bunny successfully tap into primal fears, or does its ambition outweigh its bite? Either way, it’s a strange, memorable entry in modern horror that invites discussion.

Join us as we unpack the scares, the symbolism, and where Dust Bunny lands in the ever-growing landscape of unconventional horror.

This week, we crack open the Necronomicon and revisit Evil Dead (2013)—Fede Álvarez’s stylish, ultra-bloody reboot that helped redefine modern possession horror. In this episode, we celebrate the film’s relentless practical effects, clever updates to the original story, and its commitment to going big, bold, and absolutely drenched in red.

We talk about why this remake still stands out among horror reimagining's, how its emotional core elevates the chaos, and the moments that made it an instant favorite for fans of gore, demons, and cabin-in-the-woods mayhem.
