Before we get to our first review, what may possibly be the strangest reboot of the year. As cool as that news is to us, the latest from The Conjuring universe has us more confused than excited. Of course, we talk about the Oscars and a new movie that is taking its cues from one of the greatest Frankenstein adaptations ever.

A few weeks back we discussed how divisive Jaws is. Specifically, we talked about how some people do not think it is a horror movie. This discussion has been going on since it was first released, and we will not be revisiting that today. But, there is no arguing that it is one of the most influential movies of all time.

One look at the poster for Grizzly Night will let you know what movie they had in mind when they made it. The trailer also looks like something from the animal attacks sub-genre. The film surprises by being a more character-focused affair. There are some missteps along the way, leaving us both with different opinions.

Our feature presentation is a psychosexual thriller from the Sundance Film Festival. Despite its provocative name, we knew that Night Nurse was not going to be a throwback to the erotic thrillers of the 1990s. We were shocked by what we did get, however.

There are some uncomfortable moments and great ideas, but Night Nurse is more confusing than anything else. And not in the way that promotes discussion. It simply does not make sense. There are no clear motivations, scenes begin in the middle, and the ending falls flat. It may all be intentional, but none of it works.

It is hard to believe how much happened in 2025. We saw close to one hundred movies, and even the ones we saw in the past couple of months seem like a long time ago. So going back a few twelve months seems like an epic journey. And we do go back to the very beginning of the year.

There are some movies that we said at the time that we would be talking about in our year end review. The major releases that caught everyone’s attention. The twisted take on Cinderella that is head and shoulders above everything else in the public domain subgenre. The haunted house movie with the four legged star.

Then, there were the ones that even surprised us. The killer clown movie that was not a gore fest starring a clown named Art. The tense thriller that had one of the best performances of the year. The remakes that were so good not because they were novel but because they did what they should have done.

There are a lot of horror movies out there and with so many viewing options, it can be overwhelming to pick one. This show will help you make those decisions. Every single movie on here is an absolute must see that you should go out of your way to watch.

We love horror and genre. It has been the focus of our show for years. And it is because we like these types of films so much that we notice the ones that are really bad. Of course, when you cover close to one hundred movies a year, there are going to be some bad ones. But this year was particularly rough.

Was it the worst year ever? Not on our end. We brought the same passion and dedication we do to every show. There were some long ugly stretches of reviews. This is true every year, but 2025 was particularly bad. This includes big budget theatrical releases, small indies, and multiple festival offerings.

There are some big names on our least favorite list. We talk about Stephen King, a Chalamet, and AI. We also talk about how one of our favorite genre film festivals disappointed us. Plus, some surprises and a few firsts. All the vitriol is born out of love. We are not hating on anything just to hate. (That’s what we have social media accounts for.) We also want to help our audience make decisions. On the fence about a particular movie? Listen to this week’s show and you will finally be able to make that decision.
