Horror Movie Weekly Ep. 166: Sputnik (2020) poster

Ground Control to Major Tom! This week in Episode 166 of Horror Movie Weekly, Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson are your cosmonaut tour guides, taking you on a tour of Sci-Fi Horror from outer space (while also stopping by the UK to revel in our favorite accents). Yes, once we finally get around to it, we bring you a Feature Review Sputnik (2020), an excellent Horror film that was criminally overlooked and underappreciated! And of course, we bring you Micro Horror Movie Reviews of “The Barrens” (2012) and “Silent Rage” (1982). Join us!

You are welcome to email our show at [email protected], or call and leave us a voicemail at our new number: (801) 980-1375. You can also follow Horror Movie Weekly on X: @horror_weekly.

This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (As noted previously, we’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years or the current year; so now that it’s 2024, we’ll be covering Horror films from 2019 to the present.) 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. Thanks for listening!

Hey guys

Just watched this for the 2nd time (first time I ‘think’ was on Jay’s earlier recommendation from another podcast!? This time around I really appreciated the soundtrack so managed to find & order a CD copy:

Also there is a small section of the film which is in Latin which my subs did indicate…
Looking on DVD compare it looks like there is a Shout factory Bluray:

Great site for finding the best version of the film you are planning to buy 😉

Good episode, just keep up the good (if sporadic!) work gents & if you’re ever in the UK would love to hang out!?

peace & love

The Shape of Horror is in the new Canadian slasher, “In a Violent Manner”.
It’s a really cool example.

“In a Violent Nature” is the title. The pattern of The Shape is part of the killer’s mask, so it’s a really cool example.
