Episode 142 - In a Violent Nature (2024) - Summer Slasher Season

This Week we reach the conclusion of our Summer Slasher Season as we hit the Twenty Twenties and bring ourselves up to date with a modern divisive slasher film - In A Violent Nature (2024). 
We discuss the divisive and controversial aspects of the film including the POV of the killer style, the long shots of walking following the killers and that Yoga death that apparently had some viewers vomiting in the aisles. 
So join the Cast Me To Hell boys as the summer starts to draw to a close and we enjoy a nice hike through the woods with a new psychopathic killer on the block and decide if his approach is artistic horror or as rewarding as watching gameplay of a F13 for over an hour.

This week we close out a much beloved modern horror trilogy with Ti West's X Trilogy's conclusion MaXXXine (2024). We discuss the our own divisive expectations for this conclusion by linking back to the common themes within X and Pearl. 
We look at the positives and negatives of this concluding chapter and how it relates to the previous films in the trilogy. We look at the homage of 80's films and culture including the Giallo Italian horror influences, video nasties and snuff films. We consider the impact of Mia Goth across the 3 films and how her performance and the script have changed for better or worse. 
So grab your gun, get some eyeliner on those Bettys Davis eyes, put on them stiletto's and for the love of God men tuck them nuts in when you lie naked on the ground because Maxine and the Cast Me To Hell boys are going on a journey together and it involving kicking ass, taking names and crushing nuts!

Episode 136 - I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) - Summer Slasher Season

We continue Summer Slasher Season with the most obvious choice for a Summer Slasher and a modern horror classic - I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997). 
We discuss the impact of writer Kevin Williamson in 90's slashers, the sequels spawned and the more thriller aspect of this modern teen slasher. We also return to a point raised previously in Cast Me To Hell lore, Is Jennifer Love Hewitt a good scream queen or should Sarah Michelle Gellar of been the lead of this hooking horror.
