THE VIGIL (2019)

We know you've seen it, but we wanted to talk about it anyway! Come, join the Podforsaken as we discuss 2022's highly divisive, ultra-low budget indie horror film SKINAMARINK. Now put the podcast in your ear...

Join us with special guest Andrew Lobel, screenwriter of the upcoming horror film IMMACULATE, as we discuss what makes the original MARTYRS such a classic, what the American remake gets wrong, and whether the term "torture porn" is offensive. If you're looking for bad jokes and a lot of ranting mixed with your movie reviews, you've come to the right place!

New year, new Podforsaken! Kicking things off, join us as we discuss 2022's found footage horror/comedy DEADSTREAM, about a streamer who decides to livestream his night locked inside a haunted house. If you ever wished THE EVIL DEAD and HOST had a baby, this one is for you!

Join us with special guest Josh Ruben, star of A WOUNDED FAWN, and director of SCARE ME and WEREWOLVES WITHIN. We pack a lot into this one including what it's like to work both in front of and behind the camera, his lifelong love of horror films, advice for first-time filmmakers, and of course his Podforsaken film pick, 1991's POPCORN. Trust us, you don't want to miss this one! 

By fan request, this week we take on 1971's THE VELVET VAMPIRE, an erotic horror tale about a bisexual vampire who invites a pair of newlyweds to spend the weekend in her desert mansion. If you like so-bad-they're-good films, you definitely need to join us for this one!

By fan request, this episode we tackle 2019's THE CLEANSING HOUR, about a film crew that must face off against a demon after a fake exorcism becomes very real.

Join us as well talk about the highs and lows of this incredibly unusual visual nightmare.

Join us as we discuss 2020's SCARE ME, a horror comedy about two writers stuck in a power outage who decide to pass the night by telling each other scary stories.
