Psycho Killer (2026) - SPOILER FREE REVIEW

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 05:23:00 -0500

No Spoilers: 0:00-23:45

Spoilers: 23:45-END

This week, we’re taking a more critical look at Psycho Killer, a thriller that aims to burrow deep into the mind of a murderer but may not dig quite far enough. While the film leans heavily on grim atmosphere and bursts of violence, we debate whether it offers meaningful psychological insight or simply repackages familiar serial-killer tropes. From uneven pacing to performances that strain under a thin script, we unpack where the tension works — and where it feels manufactured. Dark and confrontational by design, Psycho Killer wants to disturb you… the question is whether it earns it.

The Shape of Water (2017) - #staywet

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 05:05:00 -0500

This week, we’re taking a swim in The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro’s dark fairy tale that blends Cold War paranoia, creature-feature horror, and sweeping romance. We explore the film’s lush visuals, haunting score, and the strange — yet tender — love story at its center. From beautiful effects to its themes of otherness and empathy, we unpack why this genre-bending fantasy resonated so deeply with audiences. Is it horror? Is it romance? Is it both? Join us as we have dip in the water and find out.

This week we are joined by friend of the show, Anna!

Send Help (2026) - SPOILER FREE REVIEW

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 05:30:00 -0500

Spoilers Free: 0:00-33:18

Spoilers: 33:18-END

This week, we’re diving into Send Help, the latest horror film from Sam Raimi, a director known for pushing characters to their breaking point with style and cruelty. Set against a stripped-down survival scenario, the film traps its characters in a tense fight against nature — and each other. We talk about Raimi’s direction, the escalating psychological pressure, and how his signature instincts shape the film’s tone without giving anything away. When hope is distant and help may never arrive, survival becomes its own kind of terror.

Lost Highway (1997) - "Happy Birthday David Lynch!" ft. 1001 by 1

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 05:30:00 -0500

This week, we’re cruising down David Lynch’s Lost Highway, a nightmarish neo-noir where identity fractures and reality refuses to stay put. We talk about the film’s hypnotic mood, unforgettable imagery, and that constant sense of dread that creeps in without warning. From the sound design to the performances, we dig into what makes Lost Highway such a disorienting, endlessly debatable experience. No easy answers here — just vibes, theories, and the feeling that once you’re on this road, there’s no clear way back.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) - ft. Reel Takes

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

This week, we’re diving into 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, the next chapter in the iconic infected saga. From its grim atmosphere to its ambitious world-building, we talk about what makes this entry an exciting evolution of the franchise and how it keeps the spirit of 28 Days Later alive while pushing the story in new directions. The rage may have faded, but the nightmare is far from over.

Bonus Episode: The Plague (2025) - Mini Review

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 17:20:15 -0500

SPOILER FREE

This week, we’re discussing The Plague from director Charlie Polinger — a stark, unsettling film that trades traditional horror beats for psychological erosion and moral rot. We take a critical look at Polinger’s restrained approach, the film’s oppressive atmosphere, and its focus on cruelty, power, and complicity. From its deliberate pacing to its emotionally distant lens, we debate whether The Plague’s commitment to bleak realism deepens the horror or keeps the audience at arm’s length. Uncomfortable, confrontational, and intentionally austere, this is a film that isn’t interested in entertaining you — it wants to sit with you and make you squirm.

28 Years Later (2025) - RERELEASE

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0500

Check out this past episode to get ready for The Bone Temple!

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we embark on the quarantined islands and plunge back into the post-apocalyptic world with 28 Years Later (2025), the highly anticipated sequel from Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. Set 28 years after the Rage virus outbreak, this film reinvents the franchise with a tight narrative, sharp themes, and a hauntingly immersive atmosphere.

We unpack the evolution of the infected. We explore Jodie Comer’s emotionally charged performance as Isla and how mother–son dynamics ground the story’s emotional core. We also dig into the film’s political undertones including, Brexit symbolism, Covid pandemic responses, gender roles, and the horror of war.

With innovative iPhone-enhanced cinematography and a narrative that blends brutal action with thoughtful allegory, 28 Years Later sets the table for a new trilogy

Is this revival a bold reinvention or a fragmented homage? Tune in as we assess its impact on the genre, its emotional resonance, and whether it out grows the legacy of the original.

Primate (2025) - "Matt goes Bananas"

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

This week, we’re breaking down Primate, a creature-feature that leans hard into animal instinct and human arrogance. We take a critical look at the film’s approach to tension, its use (and misuse) of familiar genre tropes, and whether the central concept delivers real menace or just noise. From performances to pacing, we unpack what works, what doesn’t, and why Primate feels like a throwback in some ways — and undercooked in others.

Bonus Episode: We Bury the Dead (2026) - Mini Review

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 17:43:00 -0500

For this bonus episode we take a look at We Bury the Dead, a restrained post-apocalyptic horror film that aims for emotional weight over visceral thrills. While the movie leans heavily into grief, stillness, and atmosphere, we break down whether that approach deepens the horror or dulls its impact. We’ll talk pacing, performances, and the film’s reliance on familiar genre imagery, all without spoiling the story. Thoughtful and somber, We Bury the Dead has a lot on its mind — the question is whether it delivers enough dread to match its ambition.

Bonus Episode: No Other Choice (2025) - Mini Review

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

This week, we’re diving into No Other Choice, the latest film from Park Chan-wook — a filmmaker known for twisting morality, obsession, and violence into something darkly hypnotic. In this episode, we explore the film’s pitch-black sense of humor, razor-sharp tension, and the way Park once again traps his characters inside systems designed to break them. We’ll talk themes, performances, and how No Other Choice fits alongside his past work, all without spoiling the film’s turns.

Bonus Episode: Our Top 10 Movies of 2025

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0500

We are stepping out of our horror comfort zone, and counting down our Top 10 Movies of the Year — the films that moved us, challenged us, and stayed with us long after the credits rolled. From blockbusters to indie gems, genre standouts to quiet surprises, we debate what worked, what narrowly missed the list, and why these ten earned a spot in our final rankings. Expect big opinions, friendly arguments, and a full-year celebration of the movies that defined our cinematic year.

Suspiria (1977) VS Suspiria (2018) - ft. Heather Stewart

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0500

This week, we step into the dance academy and compare two radically different nightmares: Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977) and Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria (2018). Same premise, same title — completely different approaches to horror.

We break down how Argento’s original became a technicolor fever dream of sound, style, and supernatural menace, while the 2018 remake transforms the story into a slow-burn exploration of trauma, power, and political horror. From neon lighting and Goblin’s iconic score to muted palettes and oppressive dread, these films feel less like remake and original and more like alternate realities.

Is one version definitively better, or do they succeed in entirely different ways? We discuss atmosphere, performances, themes, and why Suspiria remains one of the most fascinating examples of how horror can be reimagined without losing its soul.

Today we are joined by Heather Stewart of The Revisionist Almanac!

Bonus Episode: The Housemaid (2025) - Mini Review

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 06:34:00 -0500

SPOILER FREE

This week, we’re stepping inside The Housemaid — a domestic thriller that proves the scariest secrets are often hiding in plain sight. We break down the film’s unsettling power dynamics, simmering tension, and the slow creep of dread that builds behind closed doors. Without spoiling the twists, we’ll talk performances, atmosphere, and why The Housemaid taps into a very specific kind of discomfort that lingers long after the credits roll.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) - Fredrick Strikes Back

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 19:28:00 -0500

Spoiler Free 0:00 - 22:13

Spoilers: 22:13 - END

We’re heading back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza in this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's as we take on Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the video game–turned–horror franchise. With the animatronics returning and the mythology expanding, the film aims to build on the eerie foundation of the first movie while pushing the story deeper into the dark history of Freddy’s.

We discuss how the sequel ups the tension, expands the lore for longtime fans, and leans harder into the unsettling atmosphere that made the games so iconic. Does Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 strike a better balance between jump scares and storytelling? And how well does it serve both newcomers and die-hard fans of the franchise?

Grab your flashlight, check the security cameras, and join us as we break down the scares, the world-building, and where the series might be heading next.

Bonus Episode: Dust Bunny (2025) - Mini Review

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 05:03:00 -0500

For this bonus episode we dive into Dust Bunny, a dark fantasy horror film that takes a familiar childhood fear and twists it into something far more sinister. Blending creature horror with fairy-tale menace, the movie explores what happens when imaginary monsters refuse to stay imaginary.

We talk about the film’s eerie visual style, its off-kilter tone, and how it walks the line between whimsy and nightmare. Does Dust Bunny successfully tap into primal fears, or does its ambition outweigh its bite? Either way, it’s a strange, memorable entry in modern horror that invites discussion.

Join us as we unpack the scares, the symbolism, and where Dust Bunny lands in the ever-growing landscape of unconventional horror.

Evil Dead (2013) - ft. Talking Horror with Jamie and Nikisha

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0500

This week, we crack open the Necronomicon and revisit Evil Dead (2013)—Fede Álvarez’s stylish, ultra-bloody reboot that helped redefine modern possession horror. In this episode, we celebrate the film’s relentless practical effects, clever updates to the original story, and its commitment to going big, bold, and absolutely drenched in red.

We talk about why this remake still stands out among horror reimagining's, how its emotional core elevates the chaos, and the moments that made it an instant favorite for fans of gore, demons, and cabin-in-the-woods mayhem.

Bonus Episode: Reacting to December Horror Movie Trailers

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 05:33:00 -0500

It may be the season of twinkling lights and cozy vibes, but December’s horror releases didn’t get the memo. In this episode, we dive into the freshly dropped trailers for the month’s upcoming genre offerings — everything from wintry slashers to icy supernatural chillers to those “why is this releasing at Christmas?” oddities we love so much. We give our real-time reactions, break down what’s working, what’s wild, and what might already be on the naughty list.

Whether it’s surprising standouts or trailers that feel like they’ve shown a little too much, we’re here to guide you through the month’s creepiest previews so you know which films to keep an eye on as the year wraps up.

Cure (1997) - ft. The Revisionist's Almanac & 1001 by 1

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 05:30:00 -0500

This week, we’re digging into one of the most quietly terrifying films to ever come out of Japan: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure. Often called a cornerstone of the J-horror wave, Cure delivers dread not through jump scares, but through mood, ambiguity, and an unsettling sense that something unknowable is quietly rotting beneath the surface.

We break down how the film uses hypnotic pacing, minimalist horror, and a killer who barely lifts a finger to create one of the most psychologically disturbing experiences of the ’90s. From its bleak portrayal of violence to its refusal to give clean answers, Cure feels less like a mystery and more like a slow infection of the mind — and we’re here to talk about why it works so well.

Keeper (2025) - Best Creature Design of the Decade??

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 05:30:00 -0500

This week, we’re diving into Keeper (2025), the newest nightmare from Osgood Perkins — a filmmaker who’s made a name out of quiet dread, eerie atmosphere, and characters unraveling in the shadows. In this spoiler-free episode, we unpack the film’s creeping tension, its bleak sense of isolation, and the signature Perkins touch that makes every silence feel threatening. We’ll talk tone, performances, and how Keeper fits into his growing legacy of beautifully unsettling horror. If you’re into slow-burn terror with a sting, consider this your warning: something in this film is always watching… and always waiting.

The Ring VS Ringu VS Ring - "Beating the Illiteracy Claims"

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 06:00:00 -0500

This week, we’re going full circle with The Ring — exploring the original Japanese classic (Ringu), the American remake (The Ring), and Koji Suzuki’s chilling novel that started it all. We’ll trace how this cursed videotape evolved across cultures and mediums, comparing atmosphere, storytelling, and scares. From Sadako to Samara, page to screen, analog horror to viral legend — we’re unraveling what makes this story so enduringly terrifying. Press play… if you dare.

Frankenstein (2025) - "Reborn or Reassembled?"

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 06:00:00 -0500

Spoiler Free: 0:00-38:00

Spoilers: 38:00-END

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's we dissect Frankenstein (2025), the long-gestating passion project from Guillermo del Toro. With a star-studded cast including Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, this gothic horror-sci-fi adaptation of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus hits theaters October 17 and streams on Netflix November 7.

We explore the film’s breathtaking visuals, eloquent themes of creation and abandonment, and standout performance by Elordi that critics agree breathes tragic humanism into a classic monster.

But we also question whether the film’s extended runtime, tonal heaviness, and narrative deviations from the novel carry the emotional weight they promise—or if the spectacle overshadows the story. With tension between expectations and delivery, this episode asks: is Frankenstein reborn, or merely reassembled?

Bonus Episode: Shelby Oaks (2025) - Mini Review

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

This week, we’re diving into Shelby Oaks — the long-awaited horror mystery from YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Chris Stuckmann. We’re keeping it spoiler-free as we unpack what makes this supernatural thriller such a haunting experience. Does the mix of found footage and psychological horror deliver genuine scares, or does it get lost in its own lore? We’ll talk atmosphere, performances, and how Shelby Oaks blurs the line between urban legend and reality. Tune in for our mini review, some light chills, and whether it’s worth adding to your spooky season watchlist.

Black Phone 2 (2025) - "A Nightmare on Hawke Street"

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-27:45

SPOILERS: 27:45-END

Grab your rotary phones — this week we’re talking The Black Phone 2! The Grabber might be gone, but the darkness left behind hasn’t hung up just yet. In this review, we break down how the sequel expands on the eerie world of the original, whether the scares still hit as hard, and if this follow-up justifies picking up the line again. Expect atmosphere, tension, and a few chills as we decide if The Black Phone 2 answers horror fans’ calls for more — or if it should’ve gone straight to voicemail.

Bonus Episode: Vicious (2025) - Mini Review

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 22:05:32 -0400

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we tackle Vicious (2025), Bryan Bertino’s return to horror that promises a chilling mystery starring Dakota Fanning as a woman haunted by a cursed box and its cryptic demands.

Bone Lake (2025) - "More like Bone Lame"

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-21:26

SPOILERS: 21:26-END

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a dive into Bone Lake (2025), the latest erotic horror-thriller from Mercedes Bryce Morgan. What starts as a steamy double-date at a remote lake house quickly devolves into a tangled web of deceit, seduction, and violence—but despite its promising setup, Bone Lake often struggles to find real depth beneath the surface.

We talk about the film’s stylish cinematography and strong performances, but also the uneven pacing, repetitive tension beats, and third-act chaos that feels more confusing than cathartic. For a story that wants to explore power, desire, and danger, it sometimes mistakes atmosphere for substance.

Still, there’s something to admire in its ambition: a small-scale horror about human impulses and the monsters they create. Bone Lake may not make a splash, but it leaves a ripple worth talking about.

Bonus Episode: V/H/S/Halloween - Mini Review

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into V/H/S/Halloween (2025), the latest entry in the V/H/S anthology horror series arriving just in time for October. Released on Shudder and produced by Bloody Disgusting, this episode explores a series of Halloween-themed videotape horror segments, each directed by a different filmmaker.

We’ll unpack the strengths: standout segments like “Kidprint” (directed by Alex Ross Perry), which has already drawn attention for its deeply unsettling psychological horror grounded in realism. We also discuss other vignettes such as “Home Haunt”, “Fun Size”, “Ut Supra Sic Infra”, “Diet Phantasma”, and “Coochie Coochie Coo”—each bringing a distinct flavor of dread.

We’ll also talk about how V/H/S/Halloween fits into the larger V/H/S franchise—how it continues the found footage tradition, how it leans into Halloween iconography, and how it both leans on and subverts anthology horror tropes. While not every segment resonates, the film has been praised for balancing camp, gore, and horror tone. On Rotten Tomatoes, reviewers note it “knows precisely how to handle the switch in tone” between silly and dark.

If you’re into anthology horror, found footage vibes, or Halloween-flavored frights, this episode is for you—grab your VHS stack and tune in.

Good Boy (2025) - "Sit, Stay, Scream"

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-26:55

SPOILERS: 26:55-END

In this episode we dig into Good Boy (2025), a haunted-house horror told from the point of view of a loyal dog named Indy — an unusual, emotionally driven take on the genre that foregrounds animal instincts as our guide through dread.

Director Ben Leonberg—who co-wrote the film—casts his real-life dog Indy in the title role , creating a rare canine-led emotional core.

We’ll cover why the film’s perspective shift works (and where it strains), the standout practical filmmaking choices that sell a dog-centered POV, the performances that ground the story, and whether Good Boy balances heart and horror without tipping into gimmick.

Shudder's 10th Birthday Review (ft. No Bodies)

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Shudder is blowing out the candles, and we’re joining the party! In this special episode, we spotlight four standout Shudder originals that showcase the streaming service’s unique approach to horror.

We start with Blood Quantum (2020), Jeff Barnaby’s bold and bloody take on the zombie genre with a sharp cultural edge. Then we unravel the eerie tension of Caveat (2020), a claustrophobic chamber piece that proves minimalism can be terrifying. Next up, we descend into Mad God (2021), Phil Tippett’s decades-in-the-making stop-motion nightmare that’s as mesmerizing as it is disturbing. Finally, we check out Grafted (2024), a body-horror gem that combines beauty expectations and mutation in unsettling ways.

Together, these films highlight Shudder’s range—from socially charged horror to experimental art to nerve-racking slow burns. Whether you’re a longtime subscriber or just horror-curious, this birthday bash proves why Shudder has become the home of modern horror.

Him (2025) - "The Substance: For Men"

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

SPOILER FREE: 0:00-30:15

SPOILERS: 30:15-END

In this episode we tackle HIM (2025), the horror-thriller that attempts to mash up the brutality of sports culture with supernatural dread. Produced by Jordan Peele, directed by Justin Tipping, and starring Marlon Wayans, Tyriq Withers, and Julia Fox, the film follows young quarterback Cam Cade as he accepts a seemingly golden opportunity to train under legendary quarterback Isaiah White—only to find the path to glory is darker than he imagined.

We explore what HIM does well: its unsettling visuals, strong performances (especially Wayans), and its ambition in critiquing the sport’s glamor, sacrifice, and the cult of celebrity.

But we also unpack its shortcomings: moments where the story gets fuzzy, pacing that unevenly swings between high tension and confusing detours, and themes that seem more hinted at than fully realized.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) - The Warrens: Endgame

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

On this episode we examine The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025), the supposed final chapter in the mainline franchise. Directed by Michael Chaves, the film dramatizes the infamous Smurl haunting while bringing Ed and Lorraine Warren back for one last supernatural battle.

We look at how Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga anchor the story with their reliable performances, and how Judy Warren (Mia Tomlinson) steps into a more central role. But does the film rely too heavily on recycled jump scares and familiar beats? And does Last Rites deliver the emotional closure a franchise this influential deserves—or does it leave us wondering if the series has run out of true scares?

We are joined by Sara with Paranormal in Pennsylvania to talk about the real life investigation that the movie is based on. Listen to more of her here: https://open.spotify.com/show/2VriVej4wyJcA0MVmTdkHR?si=d5e02a58486c4844

Annihilation (2018) - Book VS Movie

Wed, 03 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0400

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we journey into Alex Garland’s Annihilation (2018), a surreal and unsettling blend of science fiction and horror. Starring Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, the film follows a team of scientists who enter “the Shimmer”—a mysterious, expanding zone where nature and biology mutate in eerie and violent ways.

We break down the film’s hypnotic visuals, cerebral storytelling, and existential themes of self-destruction and transformation. From the infamous bear scene to the unforgettable finale, Annihilation is equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing—a modern cult classic that pushes the boundaries of genre.

We also compare it to the 2014 Novel.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) - Revisited

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0400

This week on Horror hour with the Hanna's, we revisit Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), one of the most influential horror films ever made. What begins as a road trip for a group of friends quickly descends into a nightmare of isolation, brutality, and madness when they cross paths with Leatherface and his deranged family deep in rural Texas.

We explore how the film’s gritty, documentary-like style, relentless tension, and shocking violence reshaped the horror genre. With its low-budget ingenuity and grim atmosphere, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre became a landmark of exploitation cinema—and a cornerstone of slasher history. Nearly 50 years later, it remains just as disturbing and relevant.

Piranha 3D (2010) - "Blood, Bikinis, and B-Movie Mayhem"

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a plunge into Piranha 3D (2010), Alexandre Aja’s gleefully gory remake of the cult classic. What starts as spring break fun on Lake Victoria quickly turns into a blood-soaked feeding frenzy when prehistoric piranhas are unleashed on unsuspecting partygoers. With over-the-top kills, wild special effects, and a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, this film delivers campy chaos that embraces its B-movie roots.

We explore the film’s outrageous set pieces, its blend of horror and comedy, and whether the 3D gimmick still holds up today. Is it mindless schlock or brilliantly self-aware splatter? Grab your floaties—because the water’s not safe in Piranha 3D.

Weapons (2025) - The Best Horror Movie of 2025?

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0400

No Spoilers: 0:00 - 26:15

Spoilers: 26:15 - 1:12:45

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into Weapons (2025), the latest from Zach Cregger, director of Barbarian. Starring Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, and Amy Madigan, the film blends mystery, tension, and dread into an eerie small-town setting. With its multi-perspective storytelling and unnerving atmosphere, Weapons keeps audiences guessing while slowly tightening the screws.

We discuss the film’s haunting performances, masterful pacing, and unsettling sense of humor, as well as how it fits into Cregger’s growing reputation as one of horror’s most unpredictable voices. We take a deep look at tone, craft, and why Weapons is sparking so much conversation among horror fans.

Together (2025) - Spoiler Free Review (ft. Cinema's Charm)

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 05:00:00 -0400

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into Together (2025), the bold and bizarre horror-romance starring Alison Brie and Dave Franco as a couple whose relationship takes a literal turn for the grotesque. When Millie and Tim retreat to a remote country home in an effort to reconnect, they find themselves physically fusing into a single being—an unflinching metaphor for codependency, emotional entanglement, and the loss of self in long-term love.

Directed by Michael Shanks in his feature debut, Together is equal parts unsettling and strangely tender, blending dark humor with stunning practical effects and a surprising amount of heart. We discuss the film’s surreal tone, its standout performances, and the way it turns an intimate relationship into full-blown body horror without losing sight of its emotional core.

Is Together a new cult classic in the making—or just a really weird love story with great FX? Join us as we peel back the layers (and maybe a little skin) on one of 2025’s most unique horror films.

Titane (2021) - "Cars 4"

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 05:30:00 -0400

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into the bold, bizarre, and unapologetically visceral world of Titane (2021), the Palme d'Or–winning shocker from director Julia Ducournau. Part body horror, part family drama, and part gender-blurring fever dream, Titane follows a woman with a titanium plate in her skull, a history of violence, and a concerning attraction to cars.

We explore how Titane challenges expectations at every turn—flipping between brutal violence, tender intimacy, and surreal metaphors for grief, identity, and transformation. Is it a transhumanist masterpiece? A grotesque provocation? Or both? We also dissect Agathe Rousselle’s fearless performance and Vincent Lindon’s haunting vulnerability in one of the most emotionally complex horror films of the decade.

Strap in, steel yourself, and prepare to question everything you think a horror movie can be—this one doesn’t ask for your comfort, only your full attention.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) - "A Few Good Ghouls" (ft. Paranormal in Pennsylvania)

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we turn our attention to The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021), the third entry in the core Conjuring franchise—and perhaps its most divisive. Departing from haunted house tropes and moving into courtroom drama territory, this installment dramatizes the real-life 1981 trial of Arne Cheyenne Johnson, who claimed demonic possession as his defense for murder.

We examine the film’s shift in tone, its blend of true crime and supernatural horror, and whether that mix delivers the tension and terror fans expect. While Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga once again shine as Ed and Lorraine Warren, we ask: does the mystery keep us invested, or does the film lose momentum once it steps outside the haunted walls?

Join us as we discuss the highs, the lows, and whether The Devil Made Me Do It proves the franchise still has spiritual life—or is starting to feel a little… possessed by formula.

This week we are joined by friend of the show Sara of Paranormal in Pennsylvania fame.

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) - "Occasionally I'll hit someone with my car. So sue me."

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 06:00:00 -0400

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we’re rewinding to 1997 to revisit I Know What You Did Last Summer, the glossy teen slasher that rode the post-Scream wave straight into pop culture history. With a stacked cast of ’90s icons—Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Ryan Phillippe—the film delivers coastal paranoia, hook-handed horror, and one of the most screamed lines in horror history: “What are you waiting for?!”

We dig into how the movie adapted Lois Duncan’s novel into something bloodier and more self-aware, and whether its stylish scares and twisty whodunit hold up today. Is the Fisherman killer iconic or forgettable? Did this movie define a generation of slashers—or just dress them up in Abercrombie?

Tune in as we chase shadows through seaside towns, dissect teen guilt and trauma, and try to figure out… what they did last summer—and why we still care.

With innovative iPhone-enhanced cinematography and a narrative that blends brutal action with thoughtful allegory, 28 Years Later sets the table for a new trilogy, kicking off with this sequel and promising next entries like The Bone Temple (2026).

Is this revival a bold reinvention or a fragmented homage? Tune in as we assess its impact on the genre, its emotional resonance, and whether it out grows the legacy of the original.

MadS (2024) - "MDM-Ahhhhhhh" ft. Rics Horror

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 05:30:00 -0400

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we plunge into MadS (2024), the frenetic French horror-thriller that unfolds in a single, unbroken take. Directed by David Moreau and streaming on Shudder, the film throws viewers into a nightmarish descent as teen Romain’s trip spirals into a viral outbreak unfolding in real time

We break down what makes MadS technically astonishing—its one-shot execution, immersive camerawork, and pulsating sound design praised by critics as a “thrill ride that never lets up” But we also scrutinize its drawbacks: the thin character development, narrative that dissolves into chaos, and pacing that some viewers found sluggish and disorienting .

Join us as we weigh the impressive momentum and visceral tension against the story’s emotional disconnect. Is MadS a groundbreaking showcase of immersive horror—or does its formal bravado overshadow its substance? Tune in for a heated debate on style versus story in one of 2024’s most divisive thrillers.

Train to Busan (2016) - ”The Father’s Day Episode”

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a high-speed plunge into Train to Busan (2016), the South Korean zombie thriller that redefined the genre. Directed by Yeon Sang-ho, this film isn’t just a nail-biting horror ride—it’s a brutal look at humanity under pressure, social division, and what it really means to protect the ones you love.

We break down the film’s kinetic pacing, heartbreaking character arcs, and masterful use of confined space to ratchet up tension. From the emotionally distant Seok-woo to the fan-favorite Sang-hwa (aka WIFE GUY aka the punching MVP of the undead), we explore how Train to Busan delivers both gore and gut-punches. We also talk about the film’s deeper themes of sacrifice, selfishness, and survival—and whether the tears at the end were earned or engineered.

Hop on board as we discuss one of the most gripping zombie films of the 21st century—and why Train to Busan still hits like a runaway train.

Bring Her Back (2025) - ”The Scariest Movie of the Year...so far”

Spoiler Free: 0:00 - 26:03

Spoilers: 26:03 - 1:05:32

On this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we unpack Bring Her Back (2025), the intense new supernatural horror from Danny and Michael Philippou. Featuring a chilling Sally  Hawkins as a grieving foster mom, this unsettling tale pits step‑siblings Andy (Billy Barratt) and blind Piper (Sora Wong) against a series of increasingly disturbing rituals and revealed horrors in their new home.

We analyze the film’s brutal tension and standout performances—including Hawkins’ morphing maternal veneer and Jonah Wren Phillips’ unnerving portrayal of the silent foster child Oliver.

While Bring Her Back delivers visceral shocks and atmospheric dread, critics debate whether its narrative ambiguity and sudden, tragic turns serve the film's emotional core or leave it unmoored .

Join us as we dissect the highs and lows: a powerful visual and thematic ride rooted in grief, family trauma, and occult obsession—but does the movie ask too much of its premise, or is it a bold step forward in horror?

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998) - ”Its Terror Time Again”

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode we revisit Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island (1998), a direct-to-video film that marked a significant departure from the franchise's traditional formula. Directed by Jim Stenstrum, the movie reunites the Mystery Inc. gang—Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred—after a hiatus, as they investigate supernatural occurrences on Moonscar Island in the Louisiana bayou.

We delve into how this film revitalized the Scooby-Doo series by embracing genuine horror elements, offering a darker tone and more intense scares than its predecessors.

The film's success not only reinvigorated the franchise but also set a new standard for animated horror-comedy, influencing subsequent entries in the series. Its willingness to explore authentic supernatural threats added depth to the characters and expanded the Scooby-Doo universe in unexpected ways.

Join us as we dissect the elements that make Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island a standout entry in the franchise, examining its impact on the series and its place in the broader context of animated horror films.

It Comes at Night (2017) - ”And by it, Ha Ha, lets just say...”

Wed, 28 May 2025 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode we are covering It Comes at Night (2017), a psychological horror film written and directed by Trey Edward Shults. Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a deadly disease, the story follows Paul (Joel Edgerton), his wife Sarah (Carmen Ejogo), and their son Travis (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) as they isolate themselves in a remote house to avoid infection. Their fragile sense of security is disrupted when another family seeks refuge, leading to escalating tension and mistrust.

We explore the film's themes of fear, grief, and the breakdown of trust, highlighting its atmospheric tension and strong performances. The narrative's ambiguity and focus on internal horrors over external threats have sparked diverse reactions, with some praising its cerebral approach and others critiquing its lack of clear resolution.

Join us as we dissect It Comes at Night, examining how it subverts traditional horror tropes to deliver a haunting exploration of human nature under duress.

The story follows father-and-son coroners, Tommy (Brian Cox) and Austin Tilden (Emile Hirsch), who are tasked with performing an autopsy on an unidentified woman found at the scene of a mysterious homicide. As they examine the body, they uncover increasingly bizarre and terrifying anomalies that defy scientific explanation.

We explore the film's strengths, including its claustrophobic setting and the compelling performances by Cox and Hirsch, which contribute to a mounting sense of dread. The movie effectively utilizes its confined environment to build tension, drawing viewers into the unsettling mystery surrounding Jane Doe.

Join us as we dissect The Autopsy of Jane Doe, examining its chilling atmosphere, narrative structure, and the elements that both elevate and hinder this intriguing entry in the horror genre.

Sandberg, the film introduces a new set of characters trapped in a deadly time loop, facing different horror scenarios each night. While the concept offers a fresh take on the source material, the execution has garnered mixed reactions.

We discuss the film's attempt to blend various horror subgenres, from slasher to supernatural, and how this approach impacts the narrative cohesion. The ensemble cast, including Ella Rubin and Michael Cimino, delivers commendable performances, yet the character development often feels secondary to the film's stylistic choices.

The film's unique blend of genres and its bold narrative choices have sparked both acclaim and debate among audiences and critics alike.

28 Days Later (2002) - ”Rage, Ruin, and Reinvention”

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 05:30:00 -0400

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we look back at Danny Boyle’s genre-redefining horror-thriller 28 Days Later (2002)—the film that breathed new (and terrifyingly fast) life into the zombie subgenre. With Cillian Murphy leading a standout cast and Alex Garland’s bleak script laying the groundwork, we explore how this British indie horror became one of the most influential films of the 2000s.

We dive into its raw digital aesthetic, haunting score, and chilling depiction of a society brought to its knees by the Rage virus. Is it a zombie movie? A pandemic parable? A post-apocalyptic survival tale? Yes—and we’re unpacking all of it.

American Psycho (2000) - ”I have to return some video tapes”

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 05:30:00 -0400

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a deep dive into American Psycho (2000), Mary Harron’s razor-sharp adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’s infamous novel. With Christian Bale delivering a career-defining performance as the impeccably groomed and deeply unhinged Patrick Bateman, this film slices into the heart of 1980s consumer culture, toxic masculinity, and moral decay—all with a wink and a blood-spattered smile.

We explore the film’s biting satire, stylish direction, and the ongoing debate: is Bateman a cold-blooded killer or just a delusional product of Wall Street excess? From the now-iconic business card scene to chainsaws and Huey Lewis, American Psycho continues to spark discussion 25 years later.

Death of a Unicorn (2025) - Spoiler Free Review

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Spoiler Free: 0:00 - 27:25

Spoilers: 27:27 - 49:44

In this episode, we take a hard look at Death of a Unicorn (2025), A24’s latest horror-comedy that aims for satire but may not fully hit its mark. Directed by Alex Scharfman and starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega, the film follows a father and daughter whose accidental killing of a unicorn spirals into a corporate nightmare driven by greed, power, and mystical exploitation.

While Death of a Unicorn has an undeniably unique premise, does it successfully balance horror, humor, and social commentary? We break down the film’s tone, pacing, and execution, discussing whether its satirical “eat-the-rich” themes land effectively or feel underdeveloped. Are the performances and visuals enough to carry a story that might not dig as deep as it thinks? And does A24’s genre-blending magic work this time, or does this film get lost in its own ambitions?

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 05:30:00 -0400

Brace yourself—this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna’s is not for the faint of heart.

SPOILER TALK: 31:30-1:10:07

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a hard look at The Monkey (2025), the latest Stephen King adaptation directed by Osgood Perkins and produced by James Wan. With a stacked cast—including Theo James, Tatiana Maslany, and Elijah Wood—this horror-comedy attempts to bring King’s chilling short story to life. But does it succeed, or does the cymbal-banging terror lose its rhythm?

We break down the film’s tonal shifts, its blend of horror and comedy, and whether the changes from King’s original story enhance or dilute the scares. While Perkins leans into a darkly humorous approach, does it undercut the horror? And does The Monkey justify its feature-length runtime, or does it stretch a simple concept too far?

Join us as we analyze where The Monkey lands—does it deliver the frights, or is this one toy best left collecting dust?

Wed, 04 Dec 2024 05:30:00 -0500

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we critically examine three of 2024’s most talked-about limited-release horror films: Strange Darling, Exhuma, and It’s What’s Inside. Are these movies delivering fresh scares, or do they fall victim to overhyped ambition?
