A Quiet Place Day One (Sarnoski 2024) A Quiet Place Day One is an odd film. Laura very much enjoyed the primary plot and characters, and so for her this film worked well. And while Marshall did also, for him that felt summarily disconnected from the Day One universe and therefore did not work at all. Of possible interest at a larger scale is this is another big name horror franchise doing a sequel in New York City. This could be reflective of the right wing's recent intense demonization of major cities as cesspools of crime and violence. While that simply is not true, the narrative has still be aggressively pushed by the neo-Right. There is lots more of our podcast! Please listen, review, subscribe, and tell your friends.

Longlegs (Perkins 2024) While we think Osgood Perkins seems to be a genuinely wonderful human, sadly this film is not wonderful. This is not so much a movie as it is a series of trope vignettes with similar production desgin. Longlegs is all vibes with no substance; no character development, no timeline, no rationales, and no real reasons for anything. In many ways it's a perfect film for the TikTok era, and we don't mean that as a compliment. Laura started out thinking Marshall would hate the film. While he didn't initially, through our discussion we found out she was absolutely correct to think that. This is not what we want in our horror films, without some cohesion of diegetic reality, there is no real fear, no real horror. There is lots more of our podcast!

Alien (Scott 1979) and Aliens (Cameron 1986) In anticipation of Alien Romulus (Alvarez 2024), this episode we revisit the epic films Alien (Scott 1979) and Aliens (Cameron 1986). We discuss how the films hold up after approximately 40 years. This is a rare episode for us as it is both a sci-fi horror film and a creature film. We have very few episodes of films in these sub-genres. Marshall first saw this film when he was 10 and offers his perspective as to why Aliens in particular is one of his all time favorite films. In contrast, this might be Laura's second time viewing the film so she is coming in mostly blind except for the cultural references. Laura watched with her 10 year old son, so he added a perspective as to how this film might be understood by a young person today. And Laura has a hot take as an Alien sympathizer!

Abigail (Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett 2024) Directed by Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett, who have made very solid Scream requels and the really excellent Ready or Not, we had high hopes for Abigail. With lots of promise and overall good audience reactions we were unfortunately very disappointed. Abigail is bad. Real bad. No character development, no movitations, no sense of geography, and any even remote potential for fear or suspense was undermined by the marketing. Any hope that it would challenge or disrupt tropes and stereotypes, given that the vampire is a girl, are compromised completely by the film's ending. It is reasonably watchable as a second-screen film, or something to have on in the background, which is not meant to be a compliment. There is lots more of our podcast!

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the most recent installation in the Evil Dead franchise Evil Dead Rise.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey. The single most trite, banal, incompetent series of images we have watched since we started this podcast in 2017. Don't watch this film. It's not good bad, or bad good, it's just abject dross. The post Winnie the Pooh Blood and Honey (Frake Waterfield 2023) appeared first on Collective Nightmares.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of West's first film in his wildly ambitious horror trilogy, X.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of West's second film, Pearl in his wildly ambitious horror trilogy.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of Slumber Party Massacre from 2021. This is a companion episode to our discussion of the original 1982 film of the same name. This is a brilliantly subversive feminist response to slasher films ... for the first hour.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of The Slumber Party Massacre from 1982. Written and directed by women in response to the sexism of the first wave slashers, this is quite a time capsule.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the 2020 film Violation (Mancinelli & Sims-Fewer).

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the 2021 film There's Someone Inside Your House (Brice).

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the 2021 film Malignant. Part of our mini-series on the films of James Wan.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the 2021 film The Forever Purge.

The post The Forever Purge (Gout 2021) appeared first on Collective Nightmares.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, offer a sociological discussion of the 2022 breakout film Smile. Smile offers an incremental advancement within the manifestation of psychological issues sub-genre reinvigorated for a new wave of films by The Babadook.

Marshall Smith, PhD, and Laura Patterson, PhD, return again to the Conjuring-verse for a sociological discussion of The Conjuring 3 for the podcast Collective Nightmares.
