Ep. 139: There’s Something Wrong With the Children (2023)

Beware of the ankle-biters! Here on Horror Movie Weekly, Episode 139, your hosts — Jay of the Dead, Projectile Varmint and Channy Dreadful — bring you a SPOILER-filled Feature Review of There’s Something Wrong With the Children (2023). Sadly, Mister Watson was not able to join us for this episode. But on the bright side, we also bring you our Micro Horror Movie Reviews of “Evil Dead Rise,” “Horror in the High Desert” and “The Voices.” And remember, you are welcome to call and leave us a voicemail at our working voicemail number: (801) 899-9798. Join us!

Note: This episode was recorded on May 17, 2023 and was released on Monday, May 22, 2023.

This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (We’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years or the current year; so now that it’s 2023, we’ll be covering Horror films from 2018 to the present.) And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!
