Synopsis: A woman with a troubled past takes a job in England as a nanny. However, when she arrives, she is surprised to learn that instead of a little human boy, her charge is actually a creepy, porcelain doll. She's required to follow a very specific set of rules to keep from upsetting young Brahmsy. When strange things begin to happen around the house, Greta realizes maybe there's more to this little doll than just a creepy face.


We're well on our way to the big 5-0! Since we still have to wait a bit until The Witch comes to theaters, we're going to cover the 2015 scifi-romance-horror film, Spring. Did we love it? Did we hate it? You'll have to tune it to find out.

You may have noticed we were supposed to review The Boy for our last episode and did not. We aparently are below-average calendar users because we didn't realize it wouldn't be out yet. However, now we are sure and, if you join us next time, you will hear our review of The Boy.

Synopsis: Elias and Lukas are twin brothers who start to notice things have gone a bit amiss ever since their mother came home from facial surgery. They believe that she has been replaced by someone else and are now on a mission to find out who the intruder is. Seems like such a simple story.


Next up, we'll be covering another horror-comedy (I know we said we weren't going to but we're liars). The winner for the next movie will be The Final Girls. Give her a watch, tell us what you think/ask questions, and then listen to our review! Tis so easy.

Stars: Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson, Alison Pill

Synopsis: A terrifying virus sweeps through an elementary school, turning all the sweet, little children into blood-hungry monsters. A group of the school's misfit teachers work together to find a way to escape the school and the murderous kids.

We've talked about the trailer for our next movie before on the podcast, but now we are finally able to watch and review the actual movie. As much as we love Halloween and October, it feels good to move away from bigger, more "mass-market" horror films and get back into lesser-known horror. So join us next time when we'll be covering Goodnight Mommy.
