Adventures in Movies: “Somewhere Quiet” and “The Robert Englund Story”
From a famous film fest to a fan favorite icon, we discuss “Somewhere Quiet” out of Tribeca and the great new Robert Englund documentary.
Somewhere Quiet
Action movies just aren’t our thing. Sure, there are exceptions like John Wick and Sisu. But for every Hobbes & Shaw, there is the entire Fast & Furious franchise. The Expendables never caught our fancy, and the poster for the latest installment pretty much sums up what we think of the entire series.
We begin with a film out of Tribeca.
We spoke a few weeks ago about the surprising number of genre films that are showing at this year’s Tribeca Festival. We start the show with one of the fest’s many world premieres.
Somewhere Quiet is the story of a woman who has escaped an awful kidnapping. She and her husband, Scott, head out to his house in the woods so she can regroup. The unexpected appearance of Scott’s cousin leads to high anxiety.
We discuss the difficulty of getting behind certain characters, suspect writing, and one outstanding performance.
There is plenty of good things in Somewhere Quiet, but is it enough to save its confusing ending? Or did the deeper meaning just fly over our heads?
Then it’s on to our featured new movie review.
Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story
Robert Englund is a true icon of horror.
He may not want to admit it, and every person may not recognize his name, but there isn’t a soul who does not know who Freddy Krueger is. But there is more to Englund than A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Hollywood Dreams and Nightmares is an in-depth look at the actor’s career.
The thing that comes across most is Englund’s love of cinema and his humility. He is interesting and has some great stories to share. (He has been in the orbit of some of Hollywood’s most influential films.)
There is a lot of talk about Nightmare, but the documentary has a whole lot more to offer. We also talk about our newfound appreciation for the streaming platform Screambox.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about Follow Her, which owes a large debt to erotic thrillers of the past. It adds a modern sensibility and is easily the steamiest social media thriller around.

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!
