Episode 319: Night of the Reaper/The Chill Factor

Hello and welcome listeners to Episode 319 of Journey with a Cinephile: A Horror Movie Podcast. In this episode, your tour guide, David Garrett Jr., continues with his Winter/Year End Round, number 28. This double feature has a retro feel. First I checked out Night of the Reaper (2025) and paired it with The Chill Factor (1993). Where the first is new, it is a period piece of the 1980s, using VHS tapes as an element. The latter is from the tailend of that era. I also got to see these films for Mini-Reviews: The Fear (1995), HIM (2025), Evidence of the Boogeyman (2025) and Sinners (2025). Also a documentary about a cryptid, Dawn of the Dogman (2025). I hope you enjoy coming on this journey with me!Time Codes:Intro: 0:00 - 2:49Mini-Reviews: 4:52 - 26:31Night of the Reaper Trailer: 26:31 - 28:03Night of the Reaper Review: 28:03 - 38:11The Chill Factor Trailer: 38:11 - 40:11The Chill Factor Review: 40:11 - 47:13Outro: 47:33 - 50:06Social Media:Email: [email protected] Reviews: https://horrorreview.webnode.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dgarrettjrTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/buckeyefrommichLetterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/davidosu/Instagram: davidosu87Threads: davidosu87Journey with a Cinephile Instagram: journeywithacinephileThe Night Club Discord: Journey with a CinephileJoin Screamify: https://shorturl.at/Z6b9l
