Two weeks feels like an eternity! It's okay. I know everyone's busy, especially Pete. I take what I can get though. Best show on UA-cam.
King Alo and Davey always make The Den for me. Both love different things but can talk with passion and meet in the middle, tossing off references that none of the other guys (or me, and I bet a lot of people out there) get.
They're the real Siskel and Ebert of the show though better because S&E didn't knows shit from applebutter about horror!
Thanks for the backhanded compliment! I thought they were reactionary hacks and totally given a disproportionate amount of weight for their opinions on films. While reducing things to a "thumbs up/down" system killed film criticism for a generation. Apart from that...I'm a fan! ;)
🌠King Alo & Mr Wherehouse ..Dan Brown ....
I think the base misunderstanding is in calling this a found footage movie. It's obviously analog horror, especially the whole end sequence. I think that sequence is in Delroy's mind to trick him into killing Lily and completing the ritual.
Davy is the Goat. Has made me a fan of many movies;That I had not previously been privy to. Thank You Mate.
Thank you, terribly kind! I hope you've found some faves! That's the goal!
Yup, I saw this one too. Quite gnarly, actually! It reminded me of a cross between Rosemary's Baby and Network.
Pivoting a little bit, I just saw the latest film that's also from IFC Films and Shudder. It's called Humane, and it's directed by Caitlin Cronenberg - yes, she's David's daughter and Brandon's sister. Sort of like Soylent Green meets The Purge.
Cheers gang, if you've seen it, give us your thoughts! See you in 2 weeks for a trip back to 1994!
I have not seen this movie 🍿 yet/ however I watched this full episode/. You guys do a phenomenal job. Thx to all 👍💯
Nice. Many people say that 1994 is the best year for Movies
SPOILER ALERT: Davy gives away the “unexpected” (his word) twist ending in the 7th minute of this video. Is it still worth watching now that I know?
Spoiler alert: We always talk spoilers.
As they all said it's left open ended for the viewer. Being ambiguous isn't a twist.
I really loved so much of this film. I saw it in the theater and let me tell you, the tone of this film was unsettling to everyone in attendance. Didn't mind the CGI at all, I understand that the budget wasn't terribly large. I do think it stumbled a bit at the end. It went for such a realistic feel the whole way through but then leapt into filmdom with a climax that was a bit too much for this modest film. Still, I don't hold it against these first time filmmakers and will absolutely be there for their next release.
Oh and anyone notice the definite nod towards Quatermas and the Pit?
This was good. A fresh take and really well done with a great central performance.
Haven't been this Interested in a New Horror in sometime
David summed it up - the movie is the main character's payment for the deal he made that we gradually find out about. It's not literal. As the host comes to accept what he's done, the more the "reality" unravels. I have not seen the other film he and Chris were talking about but it's the punishment of the host that makes this more than a Ghostwatch clone. BTW, the Ghostwatch special used to air on PBS pledges in Cincinnatti, I watched it at college in the mid 90s.
Very good film. I think the best possession film that felt fresh to me was When Evil Lurks.
Yeah, telling that we reviewed that as well. We certainly cherry pick from the 500 films dropped to streaming every week! But these two were review worthy for sure.
Would love to see you guys review First Omen/rank the film series. Unless you already reviewed and I missed it. I thought it was terrific.
I consider The First Omen to be the Rogue One of horror!
Both Ghostwatch and Orson Wells WOTW overlapped with another show with large ratings. That meant many people switched over after both programmes had started.
I loved it. I have heard comparisons to ghost watch so I need to see that soon. I thought this was a perfect original horror film
I love when you guys review current horror movies. I'd love to hear your reviews on Immaculate, First Omen, Abigail, etc. Having said that , I didn't like this movie. It took too long to get to the horror, I didn't like the young girl, and I hated the "skeptic" in the group!
Fun premise, playing off real life people like The Amazing Randi (the skeptic). I think the filmmakers didn't take enough of a risk to make it feel entirely like found footage (and no, I'm not talking shaky cam); but good performances. I score it a solid B but it could've been better.
Thanks for another great review from The Monster’s Den, hope Craig enjoyed the concert, sounds like the film is worth watching (maybe l should’ve seen the film first but then, good as the descriptions are, it’s not like watching in person). I always enjoy hearing the varied opinions of the crew and l must agree with Davy, ‘’Hail Satan’'.
Satan gives us much, much more cool material. He's the best content provider!
Really liked this one, it’s one of those films where watching it with an audience adds to its atmosphere.
I saw this film about a month ago with the wife and we both thought it sucked.
I give it 3 and a half stars out of 5. I thought Abigail was great 👍
I love this film. Still,I am not sure if I fully understood the ending.Perhaps I need to watch it again.
saw it at the theater a couple of weeks ago. shudder is making cool horror flicks
Without Warning was a made for tv movie made in 1994 on CBS. It had the same reaction as War of the Worlds.
Fernwood Tonight was the funniest show.
*SoT* FYI: The WNUF Special is not available anywhere to stream, nor on any pay channel. I tried finding it... sadly.
It's been on bluray a couple of times, that's how I found it. DiabolikDVD will have it if it's still in print.
The whole point of the not so great CGI, is that you are watching this film through the prism of the 1970s. The cgi was supposed to be naff to our eyes because back then tv quality was poor. Remember you are supposed to be watching a found tape recorded with old gear.
Great review like always! By the way, are you gonna review “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” for The Monsters Den soon? I’m still waiting for that.😄
We did talk about it, but we landed on that it's such a shallow film there's not much to fill a vid. And that's not even a criticism, just that it feels like the Saturday Morning cartoon version of the characters. Though I liked it for what it was, Pete liked it and I can't recall who else watched.
I also enjoyed Godzilla x Kong; a “turn your brain off for 2 hrs” movie but it was still entertaining. 👍
It's probably my second favorite of the WB/Discovery/Legendary MonsterVerse after Skull Island. And it seems like it may become the highest grossing one soon - after having the most modest budget of them.
And, to think, I was initially worried that people were going to see it with the lens of Minus One and be disappointed.
Should I wait till I watch this later?….
If you want to, the ending is left open enough that it can't be spoiled in a conventional sense but if you'd rather watch the film then come back? We all recommend it from mildy to very highly.
@@DavysFlicks great stuff. I watch it tonight and check out the show tomorrow.
Brown M&Ms
Yep...as soon as Jamie said "red", I was like wait...it was BROWN!
@michaelvandiver2475 if I remember correctly they had two kinds didn't they?.. dark brown and a light tan M&Ms?
Future classic
Are you guys ever going to review Godzilla x Kong the new empire?
So, do I have to have Shudder to watch this?
Yep - or catch it in the select cinemas still screening it, or pre-order the bluray.
Or AMC+
Film sounds quite interesting and worth a watch but can I give you my experience of the original Ghostwatch? It seems to be regarded as a classic which 'terrified' the UK on original transmission but I watched it and thought it cheesy and bloody obvious from start to finish. Michael Parkinson did his best but Mike Smith and Sarah Greene couldn't 'act' to save themselves. I was well-versed in the various 'haunted house' tropes by then, so was disappointed that they even tried to pass it off as genuine. I suppose some genteel Parky fans were taken in but there's nowt so queer as folk.
Do you think this will this get a physical release? I don't subscribe to any of these streaming things.
They talked at the end about a deluxe bluray already being announced already - it seems to be Region B from googling (Europe and Australia) but I bet Shudder do a disc here.
Umbrella bluray already announced Doc!
My daughter told me about it. When i started watching it I hear Pentagram playing and I'm like wow this might be something. Not so much. I mean it's cool for some nostalgia. However, it has zero originality, and totally derivative. I don't see how the Bohemian Grove stuff fit in here. I was born in 1968 so I grew up in the 70s and 80s. I guess it's my age that makes me not care much for this. I knew nothing about this movie going in. The acting was awful. Even the ancient language spoken was lame. It didn't even sound cool. Maybe I'll try it again, but I doubt if I'll see anything that would bring me around. Now I'll watch this review and see if anyone agrees with me.
EDIT: The special FX were also terrible. If you don't have a CGI budget (I hate CGI), why use crappy looking CGI? Practical FX would have probably been better.
It's almost totally derivative of Ghostwatch including leaning heavily into The Enfield Poltergeist mythos.
Sorry but, that ending sucked. I enjoyed it until the last 10-15 minutes.
Agree. Just seemed an abrupt ending.
Too many questions: did he know when he made the deal with the devil (so to speak) that there would be consequences? So he lost BOTH his wife to cancer and murdered a girl on tv as the consequences? But surely since Lily started killing people using demon powers Jack could've claimed self-defense? What jury would convict him? Was it revealed to the audience at home that it was all Jack's fault? Were the alternate reality scenes at the end only in Jack's mind? Why would he so easily stab his wife to death? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!
(lol I don't get it)
Talk about cartoons and animation shows and animated movies on The Monster's Den for crying out loud! I don't like horror movies at all! Period!
The Monster's Den may not be for you then, laddie.
@@DavysFlicksI have never pictured you so much as Scotty from Star Trek as reading that. The Tribble ep "Laddie...don't you think you should take that back?" when a Klingon insults the Enterprise 😂
Billy boy….it’s always been about horror films. You must be new here. We don’t discuss cartoons and anime.
Billy, think about the title of the show. The show is called "The Monster's Den" for a reason. Horror movies, and sometimes, science fiction movies, are the main movies featured here. If you want a show that focuses on cartoons and animated movies, this is simply not that show. Look elsewhere.
Are you trolling?
The Monster's Den is what it says on the tin!
That's like commenting on In The Prog Seat & complaining that all they talk about is prog music.
