We tune into two recent releases in the vampire horror subgenre to find out if there’s anything worth sinking our teeth into.
A Vampire in the Family
Episode 257: Just Your Average Vampire ‘A Vampire in the Family’ (2023)/ ‘Sunrise’ (2024)
We begin, as always, by discussing the latest and greatest horror news.
Dune: Part 2 is slated to be one of the biggest releases of this year. What better way to commemorate its release than to revisit David Lynch’s version of the Frank Herbert classic? Forty years after its controversial initial release, Lynch’s Dune will see a limited release in theaters.
Is there anything more we need to say about The Exorcist: Believer? We have made it clear since watching it that we absolutely detested the sequel to one of the most important horror movies of all time.
The latest news of the project – and its planned future – has us both thinking about the future and past.
Then, it’s on to our featured film reviews.
Sunrise
When we first discussed the trailer for Netflix’s A Vampire in the Family, we were pleasantly surprised. It looked like good old-fashioned goofy fun. Little did we know that we would be introduced to what has to be one of Brazil’s most cherished comedic treasures.
We have covered a lot of strange films on our humble little podcast. None have straight-up confused us like 2024’s recent VOD release Sunrise.
The story somehow becomes more confusing if you pay more attention to it. The fact that it is a vampire movie without an actual vampire is strange enough, but by adding flashbacks that make no sense, characters that do things without reason, and a backstory that brings nothing, the film leaves us speechless.
ABOUT THIS PODCAST:
Every week AIPT Movie Editor Nathaniel Muir and his cinema partner in crime Blake Heath discuss indie and genre movies you have have never heard of, the ones you cannot hear enough about, and the ones you never want to hear about again.
Episode 271: Bruceploitation Month: ‘All You Need is Death’ (2024)/’Fists of Bruce Lee’
We have devoted plenty of time on our humble little podcast singing the praises of The Blair Witch Project over the years. But what do we have to say now that the original cast has made some pretty heavy demands? We also talk about a video game adaptation taking place in El Paso and why the opinions of video game fans may be the most reliable.
All You Need is Death is a great title for a comedy horror. Have some fun musical numbers and an ending involving a bad looking George Harrison lookalike and you got yourself a winner. If the plot is a serious one involving Irish folklore and odd secret organizations, it is one of the worst titles ever.
A bad title does not take away from a good film, however. Especially when that film owes a big debt to David Lynch’s creepiest tendencies. That being said, Lynch is definitely not for everyone. And so goes, All You Need is Death, a movie that does so much right but also cannot seem to help but get in its own way.
Bruceploitation Month continues with Fists of Bruce Lee. This episode we tried to do something different and review a movie with a plot. Sure, it is all just filler to take up space between the awesome fight scenes, but there is an actual story being told. After covering last week’s travesty, it is nice to know that there are some movies that were trying to do more than just cash in on Lee’s name.
