After a young girl discovers a mysterious box that is able to grant wishes, she starts to experience deadly consequences at the cost of fulfilling her desires.

Wish Upon is a guilty pleasure teen horror movie that we have spoken about quite a bit and are happy to discuss it. While it's not a perfect movie and has a lot of plot holes, it's a fun time with classic horror cliches, crazy kills, and even more nonsensical character decisions. It offers up the intriguing premise of what a young high school teenager would be willing to give up and how far they would go to have their wishes granted, with some unexpected turns. Watch the movie and catch our review.

A group of friends start receiving voicemails from their future selves just moments prior to their deaths and then they start to die one after another.

One Missed Call is the remake of a 2003 Japanese horror movie from director Takashi Miike and after watching this movie again, we come to the same conclusion. This movie has an interesting concept, but poor execution with a convoluted storyline, plots that lead nowhere, characters that are either developed badly or don't serve a purpose, and cringeworthy CGI. Multiple viewings of this movie haven't changed our opinion over the years and while it has a similar feel to movies like Final Destination, The Ring, and Feardotcom where there's a countdown to death, this film fails to deliver on an interesting premise. Watch the movie and catch our review.

Two high school friends crash a Y2K party in the hopes of getting laid, but as midnight arrives, the night takes another direction in the form of a computer assimilation plot.

Y2K is a late 90s nostalgia trip, bringing us back to when we remember hearing about a technological apocalypse in the new millennium. This film explores the idea of computers taking humans over, leaving it up to high school kids at a party to save each other. This movie features coming-of-age elements as well as silly jokes with nostalgia often being forced in just in case anyone forgot when the movie was taking place. While we had mixed feelings about this one, it's definitely a movie that captured our generation and a conspiracy we lived through. Watch the movie and catch our review.

The Lodge is a heavy movie that explores grief, loneliness, and guilt set in an isolated cabin in the middle of a snowstorm and delves into how these complex emotions can affect an already fragile relationship.

Shane's brother and frequent guest, Nick Smith, joins us to discuss how this movie creates a bleak atmosphere, builds tension, and delivers strong twists. Watch the movie and catch our review.

Killer toys, programmed by an older toymaker who works along with his son, are designed to kill children.

Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker may be even more bizarre to watch than the last Silent, Deadly Night movie if it's possible. In a series with little to no continuity or identify, this installment features a drunken, elderly toymaker making toys programmed to kill children. A young boy appears to be the next target after the boy's father dies mysteriously from a toy left at their doorstep, and the event renders the boy mute. This movie is very fun to watch and has so many crazy storylines converging that are hard to make sense of. It all leads up to a few twists towards the end of the movie that are absolutely insane. While we have different opinions of this movie, we all agree it's very entertaining. Watch the movie and catch our review.
