2:16:06

BONUS EPISODE Context found within, tl;dr, I've moved flat and got engaged!

Crafting Chills - The Outwaters 2:22:38

2y ago2:22:38

2:22:38

We're keeping the finger on the pulse of contemporary horror this week! We watched The Outwaters, "it's the 2023 Blair Witch!", is it though? I guess, kinda?! What it definitely is is a found footage movie that's generated a lot of hype and we were certainly on the train too! We conclude Nightmare Fuel by also dipping back into Found Footage, how s…

Crafting Chills - Baskin 2:04:13

2y ago2:04:13

2:04:13

From the horrors of a living room in Skinamarink, to a good ol' fashioned black mass orgy in an abandoned building - this week we're chatting about Baskin! An offering from the lands of Turkey where such cultural differences are imperative to getting the most out of this story. Follow Nyxx on IG @nyxx_nocturna and myself @johnliot IGYE also has it'…

Crafting Chills - Possum 1:32:28

2y ago1:32:28

1:32:28

Can you spy him, deep within? Little Possum, black as sin. 2018's Possum, written and directed by Matthew Holness is one of John's favourite films, let alone horror films. Tune in for 90 minutes of him gushing to Nyxx about why this film is so good, whilst simultaneously being an horrifically awful viewing experience. Follow Nyxx on IG @nyxx_noctur…

Crafting Chills - Skinamarink 1:42:03

2+ y ago1:42:03

1:42:03

The year's most divisive movie takes the form of this narratively obtuse, indie horror. Is it the nostalgic horrorscape 50% of the audience celebrate it as, or is it simply a weird little film that stands out because it breaks convention so brazenly? Find out RIGHT NOW!

Crafting Chills - Blair Witch Project 2:48:07

2:48:07

It's the mac-daddy, grandfather of all found footage films, The Blair Witch Project and Crafting Chills is spending almost three hours going into our biggest takeaways from this cultural phenom. Thus concludes Found Footage month and we move onto our next theme -- NIGHTMARE FUEL! Follow Nyxx on IG @nyxx_nocturna and myself @johnliot IGYE also has i…

Crafting Chills - Rec 1:58:37

2+ y ago1:58:37

1:58:37

3-2-1 AND WE'RE LIVE! No we're not, and neither is the conceit of this film, so this opening bit by me really makes no sense. What does make sense is this absolute horror icon being just about as flawless as a found footage horror film can be! And for the lazy among us, it's even more scary because *gasp!* SUBTITLES! That's right, this Spanish horr…

Crafting Chills - Grave Encounters 2:07:39

2+ y ago2:07:39

2:07:39

Found Footage. Haunted Asylum. This film writes itself, which is ironic, because the nature of reality tv is that it's supposed to not be scripted! We just watched Grave Encounters and spend the majority of this episode talking about the medium of found-footage, what themes GE presents (if any) and where a film like this sits within some sort of ra…

Crafting Chills - Host 1:48:16

1:35:45

John and Nyxx are back - this time they're going back in time to the year...2015?! Wait, what?! If that leading sentence makes no sense to you, it's because this little gem nails a 70's throwback aesthetic so well, you'd be convinced it was a recently rediscovered relic from a bygone era of film... at least until something happens in the basement..…

Crafting Chills - The Lodge 2:16:54

2+ y ago2:16:54

2:16:54

Spoiler: This film is bleak as. Topics include suicide, child abuse and religious cults. When condensed to those features it really makes it seem weird that Nyxx and I love this film so much, but hey, that's horror! Find out why on today's episode!!

1:18:37

Spooky happenings in this not The Thing homage to The Thing A movie so creepy it (maybe?) has two titles. Known as both Black Mountain, sometimes with the suffix of 'side', BMS is a low-budget indie movie about The Thing if it had more native spirituality within its frigid landscape. Continuing our January theme of cold weather, here's a punt on a …

Crafting Chills - 30 Days Of Night 1:38:17

2+ y ago1:38:17

1:38:17

Coming out you with one of the best original horror concepts out there. 30 Days of Night is a premise so straightforward yet so brilliant you'll slap your head like Hank Scorpio when the concept of hammocks was presented to him. This vicious cult-classic vampire romp is a favourite of Nyxx and a new watch for John. Does the ingenious concept from t…

Crafting Chills - Barbarian 2:13:35

2+ y ago2:13:35

2:13:35

The final film of our December 'best of 2022' round-up. A perverted picture, one day destined to be a cult-classic. Arguably hits its high within the first act, but that speaks more for how bloody good the first part of this film is rather than a lack of quality in the latter. From here we move into our new month of content. January = WINTER Films …
