Horror movie reviews artfully conducted by four classy broads and one token dude.
86 | The Pact
Writer/Director: Nicholas McCarthy
Synopsis: Annie is forced to return to her childhood home after the death of her estranged mother. While initially hesitant to make the trip, she changes her mind when her recovering addict sister Nicole disappears while cleaning out the home. Thinking her sister has just fallen off the wagon again, Annie stays in the home after attending the funeral. It’s then that she realizes there may be a supernatural reason for her sister’s disappearance.
Thanks for the great suggestion! We knew our listeners had good taste. Next up, we'll be talking about Thelma, the eagerly anticipated (by Amy) Norwegian new release from Joachim Trier.

Up next, a listener request! Join us in two weeks when we'll review The Pact, available on Netflix (in the U.S., at least).
84 | Gerald's Game
Director: Mike Flanagan
Writers: Mike Flanagan & Jeff Howard (based on novel by Stephen King)
Synopsis: Jessie Burlingame & her husband Gerald travel to their secluded lake house for a romantic getaway to rekindle the spark in their stale relationship. Gerald has brought some handcuffs along to spice things up, but when he suffers a heart attack & collapses after locking Jessie up, she is forced to endure a hallucinatory nightmare.

83 | Leatherface
Directors: Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury
Writer: Seth M. Sherwood
Synopsis: The movie begins in the mid 1950's, where we learn the Sawyer family, headed up by matriarch Lili Taylor, is up to their usual shenanigans. But when they murder the daughter of a local deputy, he responds by doing the sensible thing & taking the minor Sawyer children into state custody. When chaos erupts at the state home, a handful of wards escape (along with a nurse, who is having a terrible first day) and now it's the local deputy's job to track them down.
Stephen King is just sooo hot right now and since we'd never want to be considered "un-hip," we'll be jumping on the King-wagon to review the recently released Gerald's Game, which is now streaming on Netflix.

82 | Mother!
Director/Writer: Darren Aronofsky
Stars: Jennifer Lawrence (mother), Javier Bardem (Him), Ed Harris (man), Michelle Pfeiffer (woman), the Gleeson brothers & Kristen Wiig?!
An unnamed woman (Jennifer Lawrence) lives in a secluded farmhouse with her husband, a famous poet who is struggling with writer’s block. While the man tries to write, the woman keeps herself busy by renovating the house, which had previously been almost completely destroyed by a fire. Things aren’t perfect (dude is pretty moody, emotionally unavailable, etc.), but she seems to be pretty content.
Everything changes when a guy shows up at their door, claiming he thought the place was a B&B. It’s Ed Harris, & he’s soon followed by his wife, Michelle Pfeiffer, then more & more people. Soon, both JLaw & the farmhouse (& the viewer!) begin to crumble under the weight of all the uninvited guests.
Next up, another entry into the Texas Chainsaw franchise. But wait! This one's helmed by the duo who brought you the ultra gory french extremity flick Inside. See, now we've got your attention. This one's available online now, so check it out, then check back here in a couple of weeks to see what we thought of it. Toodles!
Our Log Does Not Judge | Part 18
"There's some fear in letting go."
Ain't it the truth. Join the gals as they bid farewell to the return. What a great time we had this summer! Hopefully this doesn't come off as super maudlin, but with all the crazy, ridiculous crap happening in the world, it's been really nice to have Twin Peaks around again. We've been able to occupy our minds with this really neat puzzle for a while, which has given a lot of people a fun mental break. Also, & maybe more importantly - it's nice to be reminded that, as terrible as humanity can often seem, we do make some damn fine art.
Thanks for listening to what our Log had to say. It's been tons of fun :)

81 | IT
Director: Andy Muschietti
Writer(s): Chase Palmer, Cary Fukunaga, Gary Dauberman
Synopsis: When kids start going missing in the town of Derry, a group of kids band together and discover that a sinister clown named Pennywise may be behind all of it.
Next up, we'll be seeing a movie that will, with any luck, be very upsetting and make us feel a bit funky all day. That's right, we're seeing Darren Aronofsky's newest movie, Mother!. Go see it, throw on some Danzing, and join us in two weeks for our review!
