Zach Cregger's second feature Weapons has been one of the year's most impactful horror movies. We take a look at what makes this alternately serious and silly movie tick, and why it's been received with so much enthusiasm. What can we make of the loaded, potentially subversive symbolism at play in the film, and how does it tie in to the already-iconic villain?

Also includes discussions of War of the Worlds (2025), Final Destination 2 (2003), Final Destination 5 (2011) and more.

We've got our finger on the pulse as we investigate two brand new movies - Final Destination: Bloodlines and Clown in a Cornfield. The sixth instalment in a belovedly camp splatter franchise and possible franchise-starter based on a novel make great fodder for a discussion of what actually makes a good horror movie. Through Final Destination: Bloodlines and Clown in a Cornfield, we get a strong picture of what horror is like in that space between mainstream and cult audiences.

Also includes discussions of W.R. The Mysteries of the Organism (1971), The Rule of Jenny Pen (2025) and Rebecca (novel, 1938, film 1940).
