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.
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 371: ‘Hungry’ (2026)
The Evil Dead franchise holds a special place in our hearts. It is a part of our youth and brings back lots of pleasant memories. There has also never been anything like it. We talk about how the new Evil Dead movies are continuing to live up to the awesome legacy. We also spend some time discussing how two horror icons have finally come together.
There have been a ton of sharksploitation movies over the decades since Jaws invented the sub-genre. On this show alone, we have gone to Venice, Mexico, and Malta in search of great sharksploitation. It has been a mixed bag, to say the least.
Along with shark movies, there have been tons of killer animal flicks. We have even managed to cover a few. Hungry provided us with something new. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first hippo horror movie. Being the first means there are some pretty glaring missteps. But when the film is firing on all cylinders, it is something to behold.
Did we just witness the first good use of AI? Can you find hippos in the wild in North America? How important are well written characters in an “when animals attack movie”? Why did we talk about all this when there was a killer hippo running rampant? We discuss all this and more.
