Recluse Horror

After watching ten to twenty minutes of several different movies that she couldn't finish or couldn't  review for various reasons, The Recluse broke down and just watched another short film. Turns out, it was based on a Creepypasta, so she also read that! In addition to failing at finding a movie, she also failed at audio recording in various ways, and her Audacity appears to be haunted! (Apologies for the dips in sound quality). Um, enjoy? The movies discussed were: Rake (2015) Mercy (2014) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

Back for another half-and-half episode tonight as Sam and The Recluse fight over which mad scientist is the best in Re-Animator, discover which of the filmmakers wants to BE a mad scientist, and once again try to resist the urge the derail the conversation by going into overtures about Richard Bates Jr. It's a daily struggle.

On another half-and-half episode of Recluse Horror, Sam goes into overtures about TerrorVision while The Recluse brings on the hard questions. The recording room gets an unexpected visitor and the review is momentarily halted when The Recluse refuses to move on until she correctly recites a common alliterative phrase she made the mistake of attempting to use while sleep deprived.  The movies discussed were: The Girl with All the Gifts (2016) TerrorVision (1986) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

Back off-topic again as usual as The Recluse talks CryptTV, science, "science", and society's handling of mental health issues. When she's not on her soapbox, Sam makes fun of Rec's intro voice and compares aspects of one of the movies to a Fantasia segment. The movies discussed were: Sleepy Eyes (2016?) Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1922) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

Sam and The Recluse stay mostly on topic this time.... It was bound to happen eventually! Sam repeatedly makes coded references to the death of Natalie Wood, however, until The Recluse steps in to explain them. Templars may or may not also be mentioned. The Snowtown episode of Casefile mentioned in the episode can be found here. The movies discussed were: The Addiction (1995) The Snowtown Murders (2011) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

Half-and-half episode tonight as The Recluse reviews the first movie herself and the second with frequent co-host Sam. The Recluse gives a little background on Hammer Film Productions, sixties psychological horror, and later resists the urge to get wildly off-topic talking about the baffling and tragic story behind the fiasco that ruined the original Wicker Man cut and release. The movies discussed were: Nightmare (1964) The Braniac (1962) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

In tonight's episode, The Recluse and Sam talk zombies and Kevin Smith, spending almost as much time on Tusk as they do about the actual movie they were supposed to be reviewing, agreeing to disagree about which is the better movie. The work of Richard Bates Jr. gets yet another casual mention and The Recluse recommends TV shows From Dusk Til Dawn the series and In the Flesh.  The movies discussed were: Re-Kill (2015)Yoga Hosers (2016) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

The longest episode covers the fewest movies! Tonight, The Recluse and semi-permanent co-host Sam discuss Stephen King, his novels and their adaptations, and the fundamental problem with adapting novels like Thinner and The Langoliers during the nineties. The Recluse struggles to explain her interpretation of what gets lost in translation between the novels and the films without preparing her remarks in advance and why you should never read abridged copies of Stephen King's work. The movies discussed were: Sometimes They Come Back (1991) Thinner (1996) The web series mentioned in the episode was What's the Difference? by Cinefix and you can find it here.

Tired hosts make for tangents inside of tangents once again in tonight's thrilling Foreign Friday edition of Recluse Horror! Listen well as The Recluse and her frequent guest Sam spend seven minutes delving into the awe-inspiring movie titles and character names of Phantom of the Theatre's Simon Yam! Hear The Recluse grinning through the microphone while taking a three-plus minute detour to talk about Creep director Patrick Brice's other creepy (and fantastic) movie The Overnight (Stop calling The Recluse a lady-creep, she can hear you through the internet) and its cast, pausing briefly to reflect on her deep psychological scarring surrounding Jason Schwartzman after watching Slackers while her brain was still developing (she's over it. She's totally a fan, now.) while being interrupted from her reveries by a botched unpaid paid Fox plug by Sam. Occasionally, they talk about the actual films they planned to review, namely: Phantom of the Theatre (2016) In Their Skin (2012) Creep (2014) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.
