We explore new horrors with the recently released “Horror in the Forest” and one of the year’s biggest surprises, “Biosphere”.
We begin, as always, by talking about the latest in horror and film news.
Clickbait has been around since the dawn of the internet. So, it is little surprise that the news of a third Dune movie sent shockwaves throughout the internet. Of course, there has been no confirmation there will be a trilogy, but that did not stop fans from celebrating and both of us from complaining.
For years, people have warned about the increasing reliance on streaming networks. The chance of shows and movies being lost forever means little to people who grew up during the 1980s. Back then, you only had a few chances to see the stuff you really wanted. But now that the media giants are beginning to remove shows, should we be worried?
Then, it’s on to our featured film reviews, including one miss and one big hit.
DBS Films is a credit to the horror community. Their movies may not be the most well-known, but they look to their fans to cast parts and even get ideas.
Unfortunately, this does not hide the fact that Horror in the Forest (formerly Into the Forest) is not a very good movie. From poor acting to one of the flattest endings this year, it is a huge disappointment.
Biosphere is on the other end of the spectrum. The story of the last two men on earth running out of food sounds promising, but little else. Yet, thanks to a pair of incredible performances and a heartfelt story that will keep audiences guessing, it exceeds all expectations.
The film deals with a number of topical themes while mixing in visual gags. It is risky, engaging, and a hell of a lot of fun.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about a couple of standouts from our time covering the excellent Chatanooga Film Fest.

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.
