The Bride!, Dolly, Ready or Not 2, Souls Chapel, and Muck

About this episode

The hosts review several new horror films including 'The Bride!', 'Souls Chapel', and 'Ready or Not 2'.

We’ve got several new-ish films this week. We’ll start off with “The Bride!,” then visit “Souls Chapel.” We’ll try to get lost with “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come” and then hide again from “Dolly.” Lastly, we’ll look at 2015’s “Muck,” which we have strong opinions about. All this, as well as the latest issue of “Horror Monthly,” issue #55, is available!

It works, but they don’t realize she’s a murdered woman which causes complications when elements from her past life cross over. Plus, she’s a radical and feminist getting things fired up. It’s sort of Bonnie and Clyde meets horror meets weird romance. There’s a lot of humor and strangeness, and it’s entertaining, after a few minutes at the beginning, which was a questionable start. We both liked it…
