Synopsis

Gretchen and Abby are best friends navigating high school in 1988 suburbia. After a night of taking LSD at a lake house goes terribly wrong and Gretchen starts behaving strangely, Abby sets to work trying to figure out what’s wrong with her friend. Is it just PMS, or could she be possessed by a demon?

Next up, we’ll be taking yet another trip back to Haddonfield, IL to see what Michael Myers is up to. Will we finally be done with Mr. Myers and his stabby shenanigans? Our guess is no, we won’t. If you haven't figured it out, we're reviewing Halloween Ends next.

Here's a link to the article we mention in the episode about screenwriters Carey & Chad Hayes.

The next time you hear from us, we'll be reviewing the 2016 indie film, Nina Forever. This is maybe not the best movie to watch with a group of people as there are a few sexy scenes (or maybe I'm the only weirdo who doesn't enjoy watching sex scenes w/a group of peeps). It's currently available on iTunes and Amazon.

The Taking of Deborah Logan
Director: Adam Robitel
Writers: Gavin Hefferman, Adam Robiten
Stars: Jill Larson, Anne Ramsay, Michelle Ang
Synopsis: A small group of filmmakers set out to create a medical documentary about the declining health of Alzheimer's patient, Deborah Logan. As the disease takes over, we watch Deborah's quick decent into the terrifying world of dementia. However, "strange" things begin to take place and soon the characters wonder if there is something more malevolent taking hold of Deborah.

What'd we think of The Taking of Deborah Logan?
(Out of 5 stars)

For our next act, we will be watching & reviewing The Voices, staring heartthrob, Ryan Reynolds. This is an interesting movie that moves away from your more "typical" horror-genre film - it's more of a really dark comedy. But there is blood and gore so...ya know...horror. As always, we encourage you to check out the trailer and, hopefully, the movie before you listen to our episode. Reviews of this film seem to be all over the place so we're curious as to what all of you thought of it!
