This week we return to Woodsboro to take on the latest person(s) to don the Ghostface attire and play a new game of our own.Scream (also known as Scream 5) is a 2022 American slasher film from Radio Silence. It is the fifth installment in the Scream franchise and though billed as a relaunch of the series; the film is a direct sequel to Scream 4 and is the first film in the series to not be directed by Wes Craven, following his death in 2015. The film stars Melissa Barrera, Mikey Madison, Jenna Ortega, and Jack Quaid, alongside Skeet Ulrich, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Neve Campbell, who reprise their roles from previous installments.The story takes place twenty-five years after the original, when yet another Ghostface appears and begins targeting a group of teenagers who are each somehow linked to the original killings.  SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/disasterartistsJoin our Patreon for Exclusive Content:  https://www.patreon.com./DisasterArtistsFind us at all these other places: https://linktr.ee/DisasterArtists   Hosted on Acast.

This week we look at a film that most of you probably haven’t seen, and if you haven’t watched the Disney+ limited series “Pam and Tommy” may have never even heard of.   Barb Wire is a 1996 American superhero film based on the Dark Horse comic book of the same name. The film is a loose remake of Casablanca and stars Pamela Anderson in the titular role as a nightclub owner who moonlights as a mercenary in one of the last free zones in the now fascist United States. When scientist Cora Devonshire (Victoria Rowell) wanders into Barb’s establishment, she gets roped into a top-secret government plot involving biological weapons. Barb Wire was panned by critics and failed at the box office, but reactions probably had more to do with the media pile-on Anderson was facing at the time because of her leaked sex tape with husband Tommy Lee rather than the quality of this completely average but enjoyable action movie. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/disasterartistsJoin our Patreon for Exclusive Content:  https://www.patreon.com./DisasterArtistsFind us at all these other places: https://linktr.ee/DisasterArtists  Hosted on Acast.

With the recent release of its 2022 sequel on Netflix, we thought it was time we looked at the often referenced horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, directed by Tobe Hooper, and see what we can do to survive it.Loosely based on the crimes of real-life serial killer Ed Gein, it tells the story of a group of young friends who discover a family of crazed, murderous outcasts living in rural Texas. As the group is picked off one by one by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen), the survivors must do everything they can to escape.While it initially drew a mixed reception from critics, it has since gained a reputation as one of the best and most influential horror films of all time and has been credited with originating several elements common in the slasher film genre.  SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: https://www.getrevue.co/profile/disasterartistsJoin our Patreon for Exclusive Content:  https://www.patreon.com./DisasterArtistsFind us at all these other places: https://linktr.ee/DisasterArtists Hosted on Acast.

The film focuses on five college students vacationing in an isolated cabin in a remote wooded area.

This week we have an appointment to keep... with The Wicker Man. The Wicker Man is a 1973 cult British horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Christopher Lee. The screenplay by Anthony Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, centers on the visit of Police Sergeant Neil Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.  The film is well-regarded by critics and has been described as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies". In 2006, a poorly received (and ill-conceived) American remake was released starring Nicholas Cage, which Hardy and others involved with the original dissociated themselves from. In 2011, a spiritual sequel directed by Hardy entitled The Wicker Tree was released and featured Lee in a cameo appearance. Support the Show & get access to exclusive episodes at https://www.patreon.com./DisasterArtists Find us at all these other places: https://linktr.ee/DisasterArtists Hosted on Acast.
