| 4/18/26 | #114 - Undertone (Spoiler Review) | The much hyped Undertone is here so what did it get so right and so wrong?I'm here to take you through the entire plot, trailer, posters and all the missed opportunities.Undertone is a 2025 Canadian supernatural horror film written and directed by Ian Tuason, in his directorial debut.The film stars Nina Kiri as Evy, a woman who hosts a paranormal podcast with her friend Justin (Adam DiMarco), where she is the skeptic to his believer.After Evy moves back home to become the caregiver to her dying mother (Michèle Duquet), she and Justin are sent recordings of a married couple (Keana Lyn Bastidas and Jeff Yung) experiencing paranormal noises in their home, drawing Evy into fear and paranoia.Evy and her mother are the only characters to be shown on-screen in the film. All other characters are heard as off-screen voices, thus conveying the film's horror through its sound design.Undertone premiered at the Fantasia International Film Festival on July 27, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States by A24 on March 13, 2026, and by VVS Films in Canada.The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $20 million against a budget of $500,000.The film was inspired in part by Tuason caring for his parents in the early 2020s as they faced terminal cancer.It began as a radio play before evolving into a film screenplay that incorporated some of Tuason's own experiences, and was shot in his own childhood home.The film was shot in February 2025 with production taking place in Rexdale, a neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada. Tuason said, "I'm relying entirely on the audience to make that up in their own head. Because I thought about hiding stuff like Mike Flanagan does. But then I watched The Babadook, and I just saw a jacket hanging on an old rack, and I said, 'That's enough. I won't do anything. I'll just hang a jacket on a chair.'"Chapters00:00 Introduction01:14 Reviewing Undertone03:15 Undertone Plot (SPOILERS)14:15 What Undertone Got RIGHT16:22 What Undertone got WRONG18:36 The Posters19:31 Trailer20:52 Missed opportunity to do a tie-in podcast series22:04 Final verdict and score22:53 Thank you for watching23:20 Backmasking examplesFollow the Complete Guide to Horror Movies podcast on our social channels below.↪ TikTok↪ Twitter↪ Facebook↪ Instagram↪ Subscribe to our YouTube channel↪ Shop our Store!↪ Tip us $5↪ Linktree↪ Letterboxd#undertone #a24 #iantuason #blumhouse #ninakiri #adamdimarco | — | ||||||

PrimateRemember the opening scene of NOPE with the monkey? Well this is pretty much a full length movie inspired by that. This has received positive reviews which is surprising given that this movie is being released in the dumpster month aka January. 14. We Bury the DeadI did a no spoiler review of this so I’ll keep it short. We Bury the Dead is an Australian filmed zombie survival horror flick. I gave this a positive review so add this to your list if you’re a fan of zombie horror.13. WhistleThe director of The Nun Corin Hardy is back, this time with a horror flick focused on the aztec death whistle.12. Dooba DoobaFound footage is back! Dooba Dooba follows Amna, an awkward 16 year old babysitter as she arrives for what she assumes will be a typical babysitting gig. She realizes she’s very mistaken when she learns that Monroe, the girl she’s babysitting, is not only sixteen, but suffers from severe anxiety after having watched her brother get murdered when she was a child. 11. Send HelpRachel McAdams aka Regina George is back! This time she plays Linda Liddle, a mistreated woman who endures the day to day misery of her sexist boss Bradley but the situation changes when a plane crash strands them on a deserted island in a desperate fight for survival. Oh and did I mentioned this is directed by Sam Raimi? You'll have to watch or listen to the episode to find out the Top 10 upcoming horror movies.At this stage, there are still no firm release dates previously announced horror sequels including Thanksgiving 2, Smile 3, Final Destination 7 and Paranormal Activity 8.

Terrifier 3Just when you thought this blood soaked bonkers franchise couldn’t get more bloodier or brutal.

If you don’t know what Gremlins is, go watch it right now then come back and watch the rest of this countdown.8. Better Watch outHome Alone meets Jigsaw Kramer in this wild sleigh ride that will keep you on your toes. So hang the stockings and the paint cans — and don't forget to lock the doors.7. KrampusToni Collette fans rejoice! She is yet in another horror movie and fans of Trick R Treat will feel right at home for the holidays with this twisted tale, which goes to show that there are true terrors in this world that are more frightening than forced family gatherings.6. Jack FrostThis cult classic tells the tale of a serial killer who is transformed into a murderous snowman when his prison transport collides with a genetics truck full of experimental lab acid. Complete with frozen performances, politically incorrect humour and witty one-liners, it's the exact kind of ridiculousness you'd expect from a low-budget '90s holiday horror film. 5. Silent Night, Deadly NightBetween ominous animatronics and irresistibly exaggerated '80s acting, Silent Night, Deadly Night's yuletide kills do not disappoint, featuring a hanging by holiday lights, decapitation via sleigh ride, and impalement by a reindeer (okay, a taxidermied stag, but still).4. Black Christmas (2006)Bring those pitchforks out, I know this is a hugely unpopular opinion but I love love love this movie, it’s so bad, it’s good plus you all know my main girl Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe is in this so I have to stan my queen.3. Silent NightIn Silent Night, Keira Knightley and Matthew Goode are throwing a killer Christmas party — quite literally.2. Black Christmas (1974)Inspired by the "babysitter and man inside the house" urban legend, Bob Clark's '70s classic takes place in a sorority house over the Christmas break. It's considered one of the earliest examples of a slasher film and led to two remakes, the already mentioned 2006 masterpiece and the absolute shitfest that was released by Blumhouse in 2019.1. Rare Exports: A Christmas TaleThis underseen Finnish horror-action comedy is a unique breed. Walking the line between various genres, the artful and twisted tale explores the mythology of Santa Claus when an archeological dig deep in a frozen mountain unearths what they believe to be the original Santa.#christmas #horror #xmas #krampus #blackchristmas #rareexports #silentnight #terrifier | — | ||||||

Casting initially ran from May to July of that year before several actors dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, which was a result of production delays during the 2023 Hollywood labour disputes. Nevertheless, casting resumed in February 2024 and ended that May, when filming began in Atlanta, and wrapped that July. Cregger auctioned the rights to the film's script for $38 million.Weapons was released in theatres in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 8, 2025.

| 7/6/25 | #103 - Urban Legends | Franchise Retrospective | Many horror fans have either watched or heard of the Urban Legend film from 1998 but did you know there were two sequels produced in 2000 and 2005?Join BP, Coop and Justin as we analyse each movie and discuss the use of urban legends in film, Slenderman, modern day horror folklore and yes we even shine a light on the attempted Urban Legend reboot from 2020 that would've explored AI and deepfake technology.Urban Legend (1998) was directed by Jamie Blanks, written by Silvio Horta, and starred Jared Leto, Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart, Tara Reid, and Michael Rosenbaum, and was the first installment in the Urban Legend film series. Its plot focuses on a series of murders on the campus of a private New England university, all of which appear to be modelled after popular urban legends. In addition to its younger cast, the film features supporting performances from Robert Englund, Danielle Harris, Loretta Devine, John Neville, Natasha Gregson Wagner, and Brad Dourif.Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) was directed by John Ottman in his directorial debut, and starred Jennifer Morrison, Matthew Davis, Hart Bochner, Joseph Lawrence, Anthony Anderson, and Loretta Devine. It is the second installment in the Urban Legend film series and follows a film student being stalked by a serial killer in a fencing mask, who begins murdering the crew members of her thesis film about urban legends.Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005) is a direct-to-video supernatural slasher film directed by Mary Lambert, and starred Kate Mara, Robert Vito, Tina Lifford, Ed Marinaro and Lillith Fields. It is the third and final installment in the Urban Legend film series, although it is almost entirely unrelated to both of the films that came before it, using supernatural elements instead of a whodunit formula. The film follows three high school students who inadvertently summon the ghost of a dead high-school girl, who starts coming after her old classmates.In April 2025, it was announced that a new reboot was in development by Screen Gems, with Shanrah Wakefield writing the script. Gary Dauberman and Neal H. Moritz are set to produce, with the story aiming to be "an examination of what an urban legend looks like in a post-digital world."CHAPTERS00:00 introduction00:48 Title Sequence1:11 Introducing Urban Legends2:00 What are urban legends?3:33 Real-Life Nambucca Heads Urban Legend6:20 Franchise Overview8:06 Urban Legends (1998) – The Good and Bad12:41 Is Brenda a good villain?15:40 Are the opening and ending scenes good?18:45 Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) - The Good and Bad26:03 Was the teacher a good villain?27:35 Are the opening and ending scenes good?31:35 Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005) – The Good and Bad40:00 Tanning beds and Final Destination 343:22 Is the ending and villain reveal any good?44:45 Cancelled reboot involving deepfakes and AI49:23 Modern ‘Urban Legends’ and Slenderman51:25 Have you won a copy of The substance on 4K Ultra HD?52:01 Conclusion53:02 Thank you for watchingFollow the Complete Guide to Horror Movies podcast on our social channels below.↪ TikTok↪ Twitter↪ Facebook↪ Instagram↪ Subscribe to our YouTube channel↪ Shop our Store!↪ Tip us $5↪ Linktree↪ Letterboxd#urbanlegend #urbanlegends #bloodymary #retrospective #horror #podcast #review #aliciawitt #jaredleto #lorettadevine #rebeccagayheart #tarareid #joshuajackson #tanningbed #finalcut #horrorfilm #terror #90sfilm #00sfilm #reboot | — | ||||||
