In this latest episode of the podcast, Stephen King adaptations and Deliverance knock-offs!

On the show, the recently released film, The Boogeyman, the latest in a slew of King catalogue pilfering. It’s solidly in the middle of the pack when it comes to King adaptations. It has a strong cast and a strong start….but…

Also, the German film, Prey. Guys in the woods attacked by a figure lurking therein. Where have we seen that before?

M3GAN, or Megan, is a Child’s Play knock-off that’s more in keeping with the recent Child’s Play reboot and the techy elements of that one than the spirited original.

A Silicon valley-type corporation is mucking about where it shouldn’t with mostly predictable results.

This is another killer doll type movie, fairly good of its type – but its type ain’t that good, as it’s a genre that’s not particularly riveting at least according to this reviewer.

In this episode:

  • Child’s Play comparisons
  • Allison Williams and the zeitgeist aspect of AI
  • Emotional resonance and storytelling
  • Other killer doll movies
  • The general crappiness of Blumhouse productions
  • Cinematography and tone and their importance in horror
  • Crummy comedians and material that’s played for yuks in horror
