Repeat | Lake Mungo

Director/Writer: Joel Anderson
Stars: Rosie Traynor, David Pledger, Martin Sharpe
Synopsis: Who killed Alice Palmer? Just kidding...sort of...
This is a Fauxdoc-style film, covering the events surrounding the death of 16-year old Alice Palmer. After going missing (we presume she drowned) during a family trip, Alice's body is eventually discovered floating in the water. Once this happens, the movie jumps from one subplot to the next as it attempts to discover what happened to her. The ending may not be exactly what you'd expect.

What'd we think of Lake Mungo?
(Out of 5 stars)

Synopsis: Will (Logan Marshall-Green) is invited to a dinner party hosted by his x-wife, Eden, and her new husband. Not only that, but all their closest friends will be there and no one has seen each other for the last two years, after the tragedy that caused Will and Eden's divorce. But once everyone gets to the party, it's clear that there is something strange afoot.

Next up, we'll be covering the sort of non-horror horror movie, Green Room. Nazi skin-heads, Patrick Stewart, and dirty punk bands galore. This movie promises an exciting and gorey ride!

41 | Spring

Directors: Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead

Writer: Justin Benson

Stars: Lou Taylor Pucci, Nadia Hilker, Vanessa Bednar

Synopsis: Finding himself in a personal tailspin following the death of his mother, Evan flees the US for the mediterannean beauty of Italy. At some point between enjoying the beautiful setting and putting up with his two loud, British pals, Evan sparks up a romance with an intelligent, gorgeous woman harboring a dark, primordial secret.

Coming up next...wait for it...it's The Witch. Considered by some to be "literally the most satanic experience outside of meeting satan himself," this movie has a lot of hype to live up to. If it ends up being a piece of shit, I don't know that Amy will ever recover from the disappointment (but she'll know how Jamie felt when she saw the movie Troy). So join us for episode 42 when we'll be talkin bout some witches.

Writers: Nick Antosca, Sarah Cornwell

Stars: Natalie Dormer, Eoin Macken, Stephanie Vogt

Synopsis: Distraught after the disappearance of her sister, Sara travels to Japan's Aokigahara "Suicide Forest" in order to find her.

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.

35 | Goodnight Mommy

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.

33 | Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension

Director: Gregory Plotkin

Writers: Jason Pagan, Andrew Deutschman, Adam Robitel, Gavin Heffernan, Brantley Aufill

Stars: Chris J. Murray, Brit Shaw, Ivy George, Dan Gill, Olivia Taylor Dudley

Synopsis: After discovering a camera with the ability to see and record beings from the "ghost dimension", a family does everything they can to protect their daughter from a malevolent entity, intent on possessing her. This is the sixth and presumeably final installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise.

After getting our hands on some advanced screening passes for Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension, we decided to squeeze a review in before moving on to Cooties. So...once again...next up, we'll be covering Cooties.

30 | Sinister 2

Sinister 2
Director: Ciarán Foy
Writers: Scott Derrickson, C. Robert Cargill
Starring: Shannyn Sossamon, James Ransone, Robert Daniel Sloan, Dartanian Sloan
Synopsis: Picking up from where Sinister left off, now Ex Deputy So & So is tracking down and destroying all the Bughuul murder houses. But he's stopped short when he learns the next house on his list is already occupied by a woman and her two children. Not one to walk away from a family being harassed by Bughuul and his gang of evil kids, Ex Deputy So & So sticks around to help the family before it becomes too late.

Did you know there's a real-life Bughuul? Well there is and we've found him. Turns out he's been passing himself off as the lead guitarist of Slipknot. Honestly, now that we've seen the almost 100% resemblance, Bughuul is even less frightening and not all that original. I'm not even going to label which is which.

Join us next time as we "celebrate" the return of M. Night Shyamalan by watching his newest movie, The Visit. His track record is pretty spotty so we don't even have a guess as to how this new one is going to turn out. Till next time!
