Synopsis

We rejoin the Abbott family pretty much right where we left them, grieving the death of husband/father Lee and preparing to leave their ruined home. When they reach a factory not too far away they find that a former friend has also survived and has been using the building as his home. While her mother is preoccupied with replenishing their supplies, daughter Regan forms a plan to follow a radio signal off the coast to share her discovery with a settlement that might be located on an island.

Join us next time when we’ll be reviewing The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Hopefully we like it better than the other ones…

Almost the entire town of Cayuga, New Mexico is attending a basketball game, but Everett, the local radio DJ and Fay, the switchboard operator, have to work instead. They investigate a strange sound that has broken onto the airwaves and it leads to an extraterrestrial discovery that might put their lives in danger.

Next up is a film that has been categorized as a “horror comedy thriller.” Trailers can be deceiving but judging by this one it doesn’t seem all that funny to me. If you want to be ready for our next episode you’ll rent She Dies Tomorrow and meet us back here in two weeks. I’ve seen it for $3.99 everywhere, so not bad.

44 | 10 Cloverfield Lane

Director: Dan Trachtenberg

Writer: Josh Campbell, Matthew Stuecken, Damien Chazelle

Stars: John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher Jr.

Synopsis: Following an incredibly horrible and jarring car accident, a young woman wakes up to discover she is chained to a wall in some underground bunker. As she comes to, she learns she's been brought there by Howard (John Goodman), who claims some tragic event took place and now everyone above ground is either dead or dying. The woman, Michelle, goes back and forth between believing Howard and thinking he's a threat so, with the help of Emmett (the only other person in the bunker), she tries to uncover the truth.

Join us next time as we review the 2011 film, Kill List, from director Ben Wheatley. We chose Kill List for our next review because Mr. Wheatley is the director of the upcoming movie, High-Rise (4/28/2016), starring Tom Hiddleston (settle down, Suzi), Jeremy Irons, and Sienna Miller. Plus, Kill List is absolutely worth the re-watch.
