Crimson Peak

What makes a movie sexy, and when does desire turn dangerous? We're drafting our favorite erotic thrillers, sexy horror movies, and cult classics in this week's Messed Up Movies draft. Griffey, Heath, Sam, and Sophia each build a four-movie lineup, with wildly different ideas about what belongs. From Eyes Wide Shut and Species to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hellraiser II, we debate obsession, seduction, sexual repression, and the messy relationship between pleasure and horror. Heath champions erotic tension and manipulation, Griffey heads straight for transgressive territory, and Sophia makes room for outrageous comedy. Meanwhile, Sam pulls a surprise pick: our own movie, Mr. Creamjeans' Hidey Hole. Plus, we argue about whether sex scenes belong in movies, revisit the erotic thriller boom, and wonder how so many obvious contenders went undrafted. Who built the best lineup? Vote for Griffey, Heath, Sam, or Sophia in the comments, and tell us which movie we missed. Subscribe for Friday movie drafts, New Movie Monday reviews, and more Messed Up Movies.

This week Griffey and Dandino get hitched and carried across the threshold of a ghost filled nightmare in Del Toro's Crimson Peak. They discuss the film's beautiful if not hollow at times aesthetics, the sparse use of ghost as a metaphor for the past rather than engines of horror, and the movie's desire to be more than a horror or mystery movie. As far as Del Toro goes, this isn't top tier, but the man just doesn't make bad movies. Every shot is a feast for the eyes and red meat for the heart.  Synopsis: A new bride investigates ghostly visions at a remote gothic mansion that holds dark secrets. Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam, Doug Jones Directed by Guillermo del Toro Youtube: https://youtu.be/ZssYDeM6C5g https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod Visit https://www.misfitparade.com for updates on Mr. Creamjeans' Hidey Hole, merchandise, and screening requests.

This week on New Movie Monday, our review of the Godzilla Minus One sequel turns into a heated debate about what makes a great monster movie. Heath and Griffey make the case for a blockbuster that delivers enormous spectacle without losing sight of the people caught underneath it. Sam questions the melodrama, performances, and balance between human tragedy and kaiju action. We discuss the returning characters, Godzilla's showdown with Ghidorah, the devastating aftermath of the destruction, and whether the sequel builds on what made Minus One so powerful. Plus, the score and sound design, the film's antiwar themes, and the moments that hit hardest. ⚠️ Full spoilers for Godzilla Minus Zero and Godzilla Minus One.

Scream. From Dusk Till Dawn. Fargo. Trainspotting. Thirty years later, 1996 is still a monster year for messed-up movies. This week, we're drafting our favorites from a lineup stacked with horror classics, twisted thrillers, dark comedies, and video-store oddities. Griffey, Heath, and Sam each pick four movies, and the usual banned list is off the table. Sam loads up on crowd favorites, Heath goes after some of the year's most celebrated films, and Griffey makes a passionate case for the sleazier side of 1996. Can Thinner and Bordello of Blood compete with Scream and Fargo? Along the way, we revisit the shock of discovering From Dusk Till Dawn, debate Tim Burton's Mars Attacks!, and remember a time when a late-night movie or a random VHS rental could completely change your taste. Who drafted the best lineup? Vote for Griffey, Heath, or Sam in the comments, and tell us which 1996 movie we should have picked.

Today Griffey and Dandino drift into a Kaiju Battle Royale in Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim. They lift the hood on the movie's embrace of Saturday Morning Energy, the incredible designs of the Robotic Jagers and Monstrous Kaijus, and the film's bizarre melodramatic energy. Today we are cancelling the apocalpyse! So we can enjoy this Messed Up throwdown.  Synopsis: As a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse.

This week on New Movie Monday, the Messed Up Movies Podcast dives into BREEDER, a twisted indie horror film that takes eugenics, human trafficking, and the pursuit of perfection to some truly disturbing places. Griffey, Heath, and Sam break down a movie that surprised them with its unpredictable story, deeply unsettling characters, and some seriously messed up moments. But while the guys agree there's a lot to love about this bizarre horror experience, one thing threatens to divide the group: THAT ENDING. Is BREEDER a brilliant piece of indie horror, or does its final act go a step too far? Along the way, the guys debate the ethics of human breeding, discuss the movie's most disturbing scenes, and somehow find themselves arguing about whether vampires are worse than the KKK. Just another perfectly normal episode of Messed Up Movies. What did YOU think of BREEDER? Did the ending work for you? Let us know in the comments! 🎬 Support independent horror!

Today Griffey and Dandino play a game with the original Saw. They discuss how the movie helped launch one of the meanest eras of horror films with it's gritty and grimy fascade, the birth of Jigsaw and how the film build the foundations for a now iconic monster, and how the film's legacy has been altered by the gargantuan franchise it has spawned. Saw, like it's death traps is a tightly construced Messed Up Classic.  Synopsis: Two men awaken to find themselves on the opposite sides of a dead body, each with specific instructions to kill the other, escape or face the consequences. These two are the latest contestants in Jigsaw's games. Starring: Cary Elwes, Leigh Whannell, Danny Glover, Tobin Bell, Shawnee Smith, Ken Leung Directed by James Wan Youtube: https://youtu.be/SVO_KMRKcGA Keep up with all the news on our first feature film Mr. Creamjeans' Hidey Hole as it makes its way into the world!  https://www.misfitparade.com/ Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod  

The Cycle starts as a grim murder mystery and ends in monster mayhem. Is the payoff worth the wait? We review Shudder's new horror movie in this bonus October episode of Messed Up Movies. When her father's body turns up at a horrific crime scene after he's been missing for 36 years, a daughter investigates the past he left behind. Coming out of Fantastic Fest with plenty of buzz, The Cycle had our attention. Keeping it was another story. Griffey, Heath, and Sam debate the slow-burn investigation, comparisons to Se7en and True Detective, confusing clues, and the practical creature effects that send the final act into overdrive. Does that change of direction make the movie, or highlight what was missing all along? ⚠️ Full spoilers ahead, including the creature reveal and ending. Watch The Cycle on Shudder before listening if you want to preserve the surprise. What did you think of The Cycle? Did the ending win you over? Let us know in the comments.

DC's Clayface delivers gruesome transformations, practical effects, and a tragic Batman villain origin story. But does it work as a horror movie? This week on New Movie Monday, our Clayface review splits the crew between a surprisingly enthusiastic recommendation and serious frustration. Griffey, Heath, Sam, and Nick dig into the film's R-rated body horror, its grimy vision of Gotham, and the influence of David Cronenberg's The Fly. We debate whether Matt Hagen's transformation delivers the emotional punch it needs, how the romance affects the pacing, and whether Clayface succeeds as a standalone horror story. Plus: the airplane bathroom scene that had us squirming, the grotesque effects that won us over, and an ending that gives us plenty to argue about. ⚠️ Full spoilers for Clayface.
