And here we are... Standing on the edge of history, as we conclude our first special series on modern film releases.  

And what better film to finish on than Jayro Bustamante masterpiece La Llorona. A multi-layerd horror film that transcends the horror genre to become a film about something much bigger.  

We really hope you guys have enjoyed this 3 part special as much as we have.....

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for La Llorona, so we highly recommend you see this rich film before giving us a listen. 

Give Gaby Moreno and her take on La Llorona

And your back for more....

Join us on our second out of three episode spectacular, where we discuss and review modern horror releases. This episode we turn our godly gaze on to a rather troubled young woman named........Saint Maud.

Critically and commercially a success, so we at Ushers of Horror thought it seemed appropriate to cover it in this episode. This episode also is a first as well.....as we have a special guess appearance from Ed (Ned) Newey, to help us talk and direct the most saintly of all saints.....Saint Maud

Give the arch lord of darkness, Mr Danzig some love for his tune at the end (seems fitting)
