We discussed a couple of highly buzzed-about indie horror films from SXSW 2023: “Only the Good Survive” and “Satan Wants You”.
A few weeks back, we talked about 65. While we agreed it was an interesting idea, we were split about its prospects. As it turns out, it did not do so well at the box office. We talk about possible reasons why and the star power of Adam Driver.
We have made no secret that if we hear a movie has been banned, it moves to the top of our must-see list. Which country refuses to show Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, and why?
Only the Good Survive was one of the most unique films to screen at this year’s SXSW.
Its DIY aesthetics and punk attitude set the tone immediately. There are obvious influences to past cinema classics, but it is very much its own thing. This movie frustrated and angered us. So why did we spend so much time talking about how great it is?
The Satanic Panic was a big part of our childhoods, so a documentary about it would only draw our attention more if it were banned in a country.
Satan Wants You does not just focus on one story; it focuses on what started it all. It had all the makings of one of the most interesting things we watched this year. Instead, it is one of the most disappointing.

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 242: ‘Killer Nun’ (1979)/’Demonic Toys: Jack Attack’ (2023)
Last year was supposed to be the end of Halloween. It would have been the worst possible way for the celebrated franchise to end, but it was time for it to go away – at least for a lonnnnnng time. Hollywood is never afraid to keep recycling ideas, so we start the show with a talk about the future of the series.
Netflix has been a major player in the streaming wars from the beginning. What few remember and even fewer know is that it got it start as a DVD rental company with a novel idea. As that era ends, we reminisce about the early days of Netflix and the internet in general.
Video Nasties are an important part of horror history. A list of movies that were deemed as obscene and morally irrelevant were soon banned and their distribution became criminal. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the laws relaxed, if ever so slightly.
Killer Nun is an interesting inclusion. There are enough scenes that justify the decision to place it on the list, but it stands our from the rest. Less over the top and gory, the plot is based on true events. The mix of outrageous moments and grounded storytelling gave us plenty to talk about.
Full Moon Features is responsible for some of the most loved and disregarded franchises. One of the most overrated is the Demonic Toys series. We talk the latest addition and wonder what appeal it will have to modern audiences.
