Running Scared

Where have we been? Well, it's a bit of a story, but not as harrowing as the The First Omen (2024). As we dive into the prequel to the original Omen (which we reviewed back in EP67), we discuss the preposterousness of the evil plan, why does the devil like incest, are all the orphans children of the devil, Father Brennan is no spymaster, and where is this Franchise going? Plus some horror news about our favourite bad movie, the one line challenge and the Running Scared Award.

What is a smile when it's disingenuous? What is it covering up?  Parker Finn's directorial debut Smile (2022) uses trauma not just as a theme but as an actual device to transfer a horrible demon between unsuspecting witnesses. Borrowing from Hereditary, It Follows and the Ring, among others, we argue Smile  still brings something fresh and unique to horror genre. We ask the big questions: Did Rose kill the cat? Do we need the inability to communicate cliche? Or the annoying b-characters? Is the monster physically real? Does it pop into a room like a Leprechaun? Is the monster from REC and Barbarian popping up in everything these days? Plus we look at the Monster Metrics and the ASPM rate is off the charts!

Oh man, it's time to do the Omen (1976). One of the most influential horror movies of the 70s, Richard Donner's film about US Ambassador, Robert Thorn, and his wife  raising the AntiChrist would set off a franchise that was revisited in 2024.  Running Scared co-hosts Jamie and Rob have a lot to say about dogs in horror movies, off-leash protocols, the logistics of hiring a nanny,  a spin on "the library scene", Jerry Goldsmith's score, and a whole lot more. Plus another Monster Metrics segment where we measure the dread factor, dog alert moments and anticipated scares per minute.
