Everyone is talking about OBSESSION, the debut film by Curry Barker. To date, it has outperformed the latest Star Wars movie and setting new records.  You may know Curry Barker from his YouTube film MILK AND SERIAL, which positioned him to make his feature film debut.  Check in with the Necromaniacs to get their take on all of this.

The long-awaited BACKROOMS movie is the subject of this week’s episode. Kane Parsons (a.k.a Kane Pixels) moved front and center with the expansion of the Backrooms phenomenon, first appearing back in 2019 as a post on 4Chan accompanied by cryptic text.  A24 tapped Parsons to direct a full-feature as his debut which is measuring up to be one of 2026’s most talked about horror films.

It’s no secret that we dig Paul Schrader here at Necromaniacs; he’s one of the masters of neo noir, violent crime films and also not too bad at horror. The 1982 remake of DeWitt Bodean’s 1942 CAT PEOPLE displays that Schrader is comfortable working within the supernatural horror genre.

We cover one of the most disturbing films to come out in the last ten years.  Tune in for 2023’s LA MESITA DEL COMEDOR a.ka. THE COFFEE TABLE, a film that has come up as a recommendation from the Necro Phone callers. Caye Casa has created a excruciating exploration of tension and anxiety in this absurdist horror film.

THE UNDERTONE is one of this year’s most talked about films. Ian Tuason wrote and directed this lean, minimalist supernatural horror film that seems to hit with some people and miss with other.

Chuck Norris is a legit action hero who first hit the scene in THE WAY OF THE DRAGON where he faced Bruce Lee in one of the most iconic fight scenes in the history or martial arts films.  After a string of hit with A FORCE OF ONE, THE OCTAGON and AN EYE FOR AN EYE, he tried his hand at a horror film.  In 1981’s SILENT RAGE, Norris plays a familiar role as a sheriff in a small town trying to maintain order as an invincible psycho goes on a rampage.

It’s another brutal film from Down Under. This week, we discuss the Father of Ozploitation films, WAKE IN FRIGHT.  Long considered a “Lost Film,” Wake in Fright was released in 1971 and partly do to some controversy, languished in obscurity until it started gaining cult status in the early 90’s.

Intro:                    “We Can’t Be Beaten” – Rose Tattoo

Outro:                 “The Company of Wolves” – Werewolves

We’re having a great time exploring the Neo Noir subgenre, so this week we dive in AMERICAN GIGOLO. In 1980 Paul Schrader (TAXI DRIVER) delivers a brooding crime drama starring Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton which established Gere as a leading man.  It tells the story of a high end male escort, murder, kinky sex and stylish visuals.
