Episode 150: Nosferatu (2024)

This week we talk about the 2024 Robert Eggers film Nosferatu. I'd say more but, honestly, lets face it, nobody reads this bit.

After what has been FAR too long away, we’re back this week with a scorching new(ish) film to discuss. Late Night With The Devil has been taking Shudder, Tik Tok and the horror world by storm with its blend of late night talk show, 70s charm and satanic possession.

This week we dive into 2022’s Speaker No evil, a film that demonstrates passivity through politeness so intensely that even WE think it we would have spoken openly of our displeasure with the situation, and were British! Speak No Evil comes highly recommended by our wonderful followers over @100Horrors and if you would like to recommend a film, please do! We’re always on the look out for hidden gems like this one, and so we welcome your input!

Somehow we have not discussed cult classic The Wicker Man in any of the 144 episodes this podcast has run for. Today we change this with huge thanks to Miss Jess Austin who brought this injustice to our attention. You’re the realest, Miss Jess!

Cemetery Man is brought you by request of the wonderful Mr Ahimsa Kerp.

Ah, lockdown. That thing SUCKED. While most of the world was getting heavily into sleeping till noon and Fortnite, some of us worked tirelessly. If you are a health professional, or an educator, or law enforcement, then Covid was just another way to make your job ten times harder. If you were a film maker, you also faced a significant difficulty in getting anything off the ground. This is why then, Host is not only a lungful of fresh air when it comes to genre exploration, but it is also a wonder that it exists at all. It so perfectly captures the zeitgeist of Covid lockdowns, whilst at the same time managing to be shit scary. But does that mean that it’s good? I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!

The Belko Experiment is covered this week at the request of Mr Callum Langford. If you would like us to cover a film, send us a voice recording at [email protected] and we’ll add it to the list!

Inhabitants of a quaint countryside town uncover chilling news: a demon is on the verge of being born in their midst. In a race against time, they attempt to flee before the malevolent force comes to life, but escaping may already be out of reach. When brothers Pedro (Ezequiel Rodríguez) and Jimmy (Demián Salomón) discover that a demonic infection has been festering in a nearby farmhouse -- its very proximity poisoning the local livestock -- they attempt to evict the victim from their land. Failing to adhere to the proper rites of exorcism, their reckless actions inadvertently trigger an epidemic of possessions across their rural community. Now they must outrun an encroaching evil as it corrupts and mutilates everyone it is exposed to, and enlist the aid of a wizened "cleaner," who holds the only tools that can stop this supernatural plague.
