Recluse Horror

Only the good die young in tonight's classic horror edition of Recluse Horror! Sam and The Recluse discuss the enduring power of the Frankenstein and Phantom legends and the actors that originated the parts on screen, Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney, touching briefly on their respective careers and tying everything back to Dracula because how can you not. The hosts also discuss these particular styles of movie villain, the power of silent era acting, and the importance that emphasizing emotion plays in making a great movie. The movies discussed were: Frankenstein (1931)  The Phantom of the Opera (1925) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

Well, it's a bad episode, but at least it's a short episode as The Recluse celebrates 300 days of reviews solo, watching a bland French thriller while her roommates loudly play video games upstairs during the recording. Quel dommage! The movies discussed were: Them/Ils (2006) Splatter (2009) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

Recluse Horror begins with some marginally relevant true crime news in tonight's episode, because The Recluse is a cheerful, happy-go-lucky person if nothing else. Following that, Sam and Rec discuss the shockingly un-sexploitative The Snake Woman and the most boring haunting movie out of New Zealand (hopefully), The Dead Room. The Recluse asks for recommendations and freaks out and halts the conversation over a little-known movie that has a cast member she was friendly with a lifetime ago that definitely doesn't remember she exists. The movies discussed were: The Snake Woman (1961) The Dead Room (2015) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

The Recluse shows off her poor time management skills in tonight's episode of Recluse Horror, managing to only watch a short film and still end up having to record the episode while her ears were still ringing from Sam's noisy bands. In this episode, The Recluse discusses Michael Evans' short film The Landscape and talks around one of her favorite movies from the entire project, The Similars while still managing to say almost nothing about it. The movies discussed were: The Landscape (2013)  The Similars (2015) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

The Recluse is on her own for tonight's episode of Recluse Horror, discussing why she has a difficult time picking movies on solo nights and delving into the character building of Dismissed. She may or may not also make an LL Cool J reference fairly unintentionally. The movies discussed were: Dismissed (2017) Honeymoon (2014) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

In tonight's episode of Recluse Horror, The Recluse addresses the colossal oversight regarding her review of Don't Move (2013), taking the opportunity to review director Anthony Melton and Bloody Cuts Films short film The Birch. Taking the opportunity to talk about other great short films, Sam and Rec discuss The Jester Chapters 1 and 2 (while still coming back to talk about The Birch again through most of those reviews). The Recluse explains how a person can become trauma-bonded to a movie with an example from her own life, and Sam spends much of the episode trying to find sponsorship (again) the exact wrong way. The episode concludes with Sam and The Recluse coming together to explain why IMDB ratings are bogus and pondering the most preposterously common criticism of short films. The movies discussed were: The Birch (2016) The Jester (2016) The Jester: Chapter 2 (2017) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

The return of Sam! Sam is back to talk about the usually highly-praised Gothic horror movie, The Changeling, and the artful South Korean mystery/thriller/horror/drama that is The Silenced. The Recluse waxes about the higher purpose of some genre fiction and despairs over the loss of one of the best horror series in years that you never watched. The movies discussed were: The Changeling (1980) The Silenced (2015) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

Alone again for tonight's edition of Foreign Friday! Tonight, The Recluse reviews a short film from Japan with involvement from Guillermo del Toro, following it up with a well underrated film called Nightlight. Mostly, though, The Recluse attempts to contain her excitement for a personal engagement happening tomorrow. This does not contribute to the quality of the episode. The movies discussed were: The Room (2014) Nightlight (2015) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

A short film and a short episode as The Recluse speeds through the episode on her own tonight with no real detours into tangents other than being distracted my a personal engagement. The Recluse promises a much more meandering, off-topic, and in-depth review tomorrow. The movies discussed were: Guilt/Skuld (2014) The Sacrament (2013) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.

In this episode, Sam and The Recluse mostly stay on topic, spending far too much time talking about the actors of both movies despite their lack of traditional star power. The Recluse talks about the one thing that everyone who travels inevitably does and both hosts go back and fourth trying to quantify and decide upon their feelings for one of the movies. The movies discussed were: Recovery (2016) They're Watching (2016) Music was "Resolute" by The Recluse.
