This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday.

And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!

I agree with your feeling about ‘The Sadness’, Projectile Varmint. It looks like we have the minority opinion, though.
I watched The Sadness around when it came out. I thought the underlying story was good, but for me it tried way too hard to be shocking It wasn’t the life changing experience for me as it was for some.
Another great episode my friends! I haven’t watched the movie, but I was all in on it until about 10 minutes into your review. It sounds like a total avoid for me now. I’ll just rewatch Spring or After Midnight if I need my horror romance fix.
Next week’s show ought to be interesting. I haven’t heard a single good thing about the movie, but the hosts playing truth or dare will be fun. I’m worried about Watson though. He seems like a guy who wouldn’t back down from any dare lol.
