Be afraid. Be very afraid.

This week on the Really Awful Movies Podcast, a bit of a departure: The Top 10 Horror Movies from the 1980s.

The 80s were the Golden Era of Horror. Of course, classic horror movies are produced every decade. And right now, we are in a bit of a Golden Era, with new classics being created before our very eyes, Hereditary, Terrifier, Goodnight Mommy, Bone Tomahawk, and many more.

However, the 80s were different. There were so many titles released – and so many iconic franchises were birthed, two of which made their way into the list here.

So tune in, and don’t forget to subscribe to the show. Back to the regularly scheduled straight up review format next week.

On this week’s episode, Crimes of the Future. Let’s get gooey and check in with this David Cronenberg effort, a real return to form.

Crimes of the Future is a 2022 science fiction body horror drama film written and directed by David Cronenberg. The body horror flick stars Viggo Mortensen, Léa Seydoux (Midnight in Paris) and Kristen Stewart. The film follows a performance artist duo who perform surgery to audiences, in a future world where human evolution has accelerated.

The film marks Cronenberg’s return to the science fiction and horror genres for the first time since eXistenZ (1999). Unfortunately, it bombed at the box office. Don’t let that stop you!
