We review two recent indie horror releases, the found footage social satire “Followers” and the J-horror remake of the cult hit “Cube”.
We have never denied our ability to peek into the future. A few weeks back, we talked about the lack of Star Wars movies. We really did not care, but it was surprising. And wouldn’t you know it, we got news of three new films. We also talk about another spinoff coming from a major horror franchise.
Like most horror fans, we love found footage movies in spite — or maybe because — of all of their faults. The first film we reviewed this week, Followers, gave us a chance to review a modern take on the genre. It also felt like an old-school haunted house story as well as a slasher from the 1980s. Then there’s that third act which feels disconnected from the rest of the film.
Cube is one of those movies that everyone seems to know, but it is rarely mentioned in genre discussions. In an era when only the most popular shows and movies are revisited, a Cube remake is shocking. Is the Japanese version of this cult classic an improvement, or is it just another sequel?
We talk about the themes it tries to tackle, the kills, and the twist ending.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about Paint, an odd choice we know for us die-hard horror fans. It conjured up images of Bob Ross, but it told its own story. Color us delighted or dismayed? Tune in to find out!

Episode 373: ‘Mockbuster’ (2026)
We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.
The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings.
Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative.
But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured.
On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
