O.K. Video

With Halloween behind us (sigh) it is time to look back at the collection of nine slasher horror remakes O.K. Video explored these last two months and pit them against each other. Which movie was the best? Or perhaps a better question, which movie was the least upsetting and terrible? We shall also reveal where we are headed next as we move towards less fun holidays.

Ranking

 Just in time for HALLOWEEN, Ryan and Nathan take a look at the remake of John Carpenter's Halloween. No, not the one that launched a new trilogy four years ago, Rob Zombie's take from 2007 which left some scars that Ryan has yet to heal from. They talk it out and try to find silver linings where they can.

Halloween (2007)

Wait, wasn't this a Halloween batch? NO, it was always slasher movie remakes and this week's entry proves it. Black Christmas is the film and it was written and directed by Glen Morgan in one of the great creative struggles of his career. Ryan and Nathan discuss this morbid and upsetting movie and the trials that went into its creation in this week's O.K. Video. Thanks for joining us.

Black Christmas

Ryan and Nathan examine the freshest film of the slasher movie remake batch (according to the Tomatometer), My Bloody Valentine 3D. Will they concur with the larger critical community or find the exploits of the older Winchester Brother lacking in the scares department? All will be revealed by listening to this waveform. 

Also discussed are films perhaps best left in the warming glow of nostalgia lest they seem lacking to the modern eye.

My Bloody Valentine

Is Fred Krueger REALLY the one to blame for the rash of carnage that has been plaguing kids in a small Ohio town? That's the question the ninth film in the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise decides to ask. The answer is "OF COURSE" but it takes most of the running time of this film to get there.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

 Ryan and Nathan pay a visit to a very suspicious house in this week's episode of O.K. Video. A house full of ghosts. Perhaps a dozen ghosts. Perhaps a baker's dozen. Thir13en Ghosts. Is it a slasher movie remake? Kind of. 

As a bonus, Ryan gives his review of Robert Zemeckis' Pinocchio as part of a larger conversation on upcoming Disney projects. Thanks for joining us.

Friday the 13th

Ryan and Nathan pick up a sketchy looking hitchhiker on this week's episode as they continue their look at slasher remakes of the 21st century. Sean Bean is The Hitcher and he promises to deliver a really bad day to whomever he runs into on the wild roads of New Mexico.

The Hitcher

Our journey through time towards Halloween marches on with House of Wax, the much-maligned remake of a Vincent Price film neither Ryan nor Nathan has seen. But that's because Paris Hilton had yet to be born, and her role as Paige is one of several things we discuss. It's the part she was born to play?
