La gente la pone a parir y en realidad es bastante lo que debe ser Hellboy. Investigación, terror rural en los Apalaches de los años 50 y un tono muy fiel al cómic original. El presupuesto es limitado y se nota, pero eso no le impide funcionar. Brian Taylor, el de Crank, está detrás, y una vez que lo sabes algunos momentos cobran todo el sentido. Si vienes buscando otra película de superhéroes, no es esta. Si vienes buscando Hellboy, sí que lo es.

Hay un género que nos incomoda precisamente porque huele a tierra, a tradición antigua y a mirada de reojo en un pueblo que no es el nuestro: el folk horror. Con Jesús Relinque recorremos sus claves a través de El hombre de mimbre —con un Christopher Lee en estado de gracia y un rodaje tan accidentado como su propia historia—, rescatamos a los galos del mismísimo Julio César, paseamos por Quién puede matar a un niño y Dagon, y aterrizamos en una figura profundamente nuestra: la cobijada de Vejer de la Frontera y su reverso oscuro, la marimanta, protagonistas en la sombra de la nueva novela de Relinque, La casa hueca.

A few weeks back we wondered how well Michael would fare at the box office. There is so much to his legacy that we truly had no idea. Two weeks later, we have a good idea. It also leads to a discussion about how the media, especially movie critics, really suck. It took one of us a second viewing to truly appreciate it, but we both loved Longlegs. It is moody, well acted, and just all around frightening. Unsurprisingly, we are very excited to see the sequel. Surprisingly, that is going to be longer than expected. Hokum was recently released and will probably end up being on the list for one of the best horror movies of the year. Based on his output, it seems like director Damian McCarthy has a promising future in horror. At least we thought that until The Python Hunt did not have to do much. The true story is centered around an annual competition in Florida about the hunting and killing of invasive pythons in the Everglades. This means you will get a cool setting, conflict, and eccentric characters. So, how does the film disappoint after delivering on all of this? This documentary is a great example of how important it is for this type of release to have some type of message or some semblance of a story. It is certainly interesting, but that will only take you so far. Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

We really enjoyed Longlegs, so the news of a sequel reuniting Osgood Perkins and Nicolas Cage has us excited. We also cannot wait to see what the next chapter of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be like. Maybe this will be the return to prominence the iconic franchise deserves. There was a lot of horror news to come out of CinemaCon. Two, Evil Dead movies, Clayface, Werewulf, Final Destination 7, and so much more. We discuss as much of it as possible, but one thing is clear. Horror fans have a lot to look forward to. It has been a while since we have had a musical on our show. (There is a very good reason. We aren't the biggest fans.) Gangstapuffs fixes that as his choice was 2008's Repo! The Genetic Opera. This has lots of gore and some big names, but is that enough? The answer is, not quite. It is very stylish; an argument can be made that it is ahead of its time. But there are also some choices that make for a very exhausting watch. There are fifty (!) songs in an hour and a half and the acting talents of the stronger cast members are never showcased. At least they kept Paris Hilton to a minimum.

Director Damian McCarthy really loves to hit that dread button, and in “Hokum,” he absolutely wears that thing out. Not with loud shocks or cheap jolts, but with the kind of slow, creeping unease that just sits there, staring back at you. The longer you watch, the more it feels like the movie isn't escalating so much as tightening, quietly, deliberately, until there's nowhere left to go. Then he slaps you across the face for good measure.READ MORE: ' Hokum' Review: Adam Scott Is Haunted By A Hotel Full Of Scares, Death, & Secrets [SXSW]Written and directed by McCarthy, “Hokum” stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, and Austin Amelio. The film follows novelist Ohm Bauman, who retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, only to become consumed by stories of a witch tied to the hotel's honeymoon suite. Disturbing visions and a sudden disappearance begin to fracture whatever control he has left, forcing him to confront a past that doesn't stay buried.On this episode of The Discourse, McCarthy joins the podcast to break down how “Hokum” came together, why he stripped the story down rather than build it out, and how he balances supernatural horror with something far more immediate and human. The starting point was as simple as it gets.

Witchcraft, folk horror, Satanic Panic terror, cursed small towns, undead nightmares, and occult evil come together in this dark and eerie Weekly Spooky compilation. If you love witches, rural horror, sinister rituals, ancient gods, creepy old houses, and stories where the whole town feels wrong, this collection is packed with nightmare fuel.Tonight's lineup drags you through the fever dream of 1984 Satanic Panic paranoia, into the misty woods of cosmic folk horror, through a witch-haunted bed and breakfast, and finally into a grand old home where piano lessons become something far more sinister. These are stories of hidden covens, hungry gods, cursed families, and the kind of evil that doesn't live in castles or mansions alone—it lives in the woods, in old traditions, in broken-down towns, and in people who smile too kindly.• What Ricky Did on His Summer Vacation — by Dan WilderA drug-soaked spiral of Satanic Panic horror, teenage delusion, murder, and infernal manipulation unfolds in the summer of 1984. This one is grimy, mean, darkly funny, and full of occult dread and small-town nightmare energy.  • The God Tongue — by Dan WilderA lonely hunter kills something in the autumn woods that should never have died, and in doing so becomes tangled in an ancient inhuman lineage beneath the forest floor. This is pure cosmic folk horror: eerie, strange, pagan-feeling, and deeply unsettling.  • Bed, Breakfast, and Zombies — by Keith TomlinWhat starts as a father-and-son witch hunt in a sleepy New York town turns into a graveyard nightmare involving undead guardians, secret crypts, and a family of ancient monsters with a long memory. It's pulpy, fun, spooky, and loaded with witchy folklore and old-school horror thrills.  • The Piano Witch — by Charles CampbellA little girl's piano lessons with an elegant old woman lead to whispered bargains, a hungry witch trapped in wood, and a dreadful plan unfolding inside a grand Southern home. This one is creepy, wicked, and steeped in classic witch-story atmosphere.  From occult woods and buried crypts to cursed music rooms and Satan-haunted summers, this collection is all about the old evil that waits just beyond the edge of ordinary life. So dim the lights, listen close, and don't trust the smiling stranger who says they only want to teach you something.

We are partnering with Dorchester's premier bookshop, Tasel and Skylark, for a night of high-strung atmosphere and folk horror.Date: Tuesday 5th MayVenue: Kings Arms Hotel, DorchesterFeaturing: Live music, exclusive story readings, a deep-dive talk on Folk Horror, and the official launch of our brand-new zine.Tickets are strictly limited – grab yours now at www.generalwitchfinders.comThe Medusa Touch (1978): Richard Burton and the Power of CatastropheIn this episode, we investigate the 1978 supernatural horror thriller The Medusa Touch. Directed by Jack Gold and adapted from the Peter Van Greenaway novel, The Medusa Touch is a quintessential piece of seventies British cinema that sits at the dark intersection of the disaster movie and the occult thriller. The film follows the investigation into the apparent murder of John Morlar, played with volcanic intensity by Richard Burton.Richard Burton is the undeniable gravitational centre of The Medusa Touch. Despite Richard Burton only filming for three weeks and demanding a massive upfront fee, his presence as the telekinetic John Morlar defines the movie's grim atmosphere. We discuss how Richard Burton portrayed a man who believed his thoughts could cause jumbo jets to crash and cathedrals to crumble. Interestingly, because of Richard Burton's high cost, his character is often seen heavily bandaged in a hospital bed, allowing a stand-in to do the heavy lifting while Richard Burton provided the piercing close-ups and that legendary voice.Fans of 90s rock will know that a specific line from Richard Burton in The Medusa Touch – ‘I will bring the whole edifice down on their unworthy heads' – was famously sampled by the Manic Street Preachers. This misanthropic energy is what makes John Morlar such a compelling antagonist. Throughout our review of The Medusa Touch, we explore how Richard Burton channeled his own real-life disillusionment into the role of John Morlar, creating a performance that feels both radioactive and world-weary.The supporting cast of The Medusa Touch is equally impressive. We look at Lino Ventura as Detective-Inspector Brunel, the man tasked with solving the mystery of John Morlar. Since The Medusa Touch was a co-production between the UK and France, Ventura provides a gritty, European perspective to this very British tale of destruction. Lee Remick, known for her work in The Omen, appears here as Dr Zonfeld, the psychiatrist who holds the keys to understanding the psychic pressure building inside John Morlar.We also dive into the rich layer of British character actors that populates The Medusa Touch. From Jeremy Brett, the future Sherlock Holmes, playing the man who steals John Morlar's wife, to the ubiquitous Harry Andrews and Gordon Jackson, The Medusa Touch serves as a ‘who's who' of the era's talent. We even touch upon the vocal work of David de Keyser, whose rich tones dubbed Ventura and appeared in everything from Superman to Doctor Who.Whether you are a fan of seventies horror, telekinesis films, or the legendary career of Richard Burton, this deep dive into The Medusa Touch has something for you. We examine the film's legacy, its sociopolitical commentary, and the sheer technical spectacle of the climactic cathedral collapse.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

We are featuring a feed drop from a brilliant show on the RQ Network: Hi Nay. "Hi Nay” is an atmospheric, analog-style horror audio drama, featuring Folk Horror, mythology and chilling supernatural terrors in an urban setting.Hi Nay, literally translated to “Hi Mom”, follows Mari, a Filipina immigrant who lives in Toronto. Mari first gets roped into Toronto's supernatural crises after saving Laura from being killed. From then on, she assists Detectives Donner and Murphy in dealing with supernatural threats using her upbringing as a babaylan (Shaman). Mari finds herself dealing with a multitude of supernatural issues in Toronto. She has a great aptitude for magic, though her abilities seem to have a price she's not forthcoming about. She calls her Nanay (mother) often and recounts her experiences over the phone. This exciting audio drama is filled with Mystery, Suspense, and most importantly, Horror.Introduction and outro by Shahan Hamza. Listen to Hi Nay on The Rusty Quill website, on Acast, or wherever you get your podcasts, or learn more about Hi Nay on its official website.
