Podcast: Horror News Radio – Eps 110 – Maggie – Spring

Henry Hobson directs Arnold Schwarzenegger and Abigail Breslin in the slow burn zombie drama MAGGIE dividing the Grue-crew between enjoying the film and being bored to tears. Justin Bensonand  and Aaron Moorhead’s SPRING succeeds far better with a romantic journey into creature feature, tentacle-filled mayhem. The insanity of Summer blockbusters takes a quick break this week for some quieter horror exploration.

Doc dishes a new plate of HORROR NEWS OF THE WEEK with information about a possible return of Dr. Anton Phibes in FOREVER PHIBES, James Caan stepping back into horror with THE WAITING and Jason Voorhees slicing and dicing through MORTAL KOMBAT. Also, Joseph Perry joins in with his report from the  with reviews of UNFRIENDED and THE NIGHTMARE.

Co-hosts Doc Rotten, Santos (The Black Saint) Ellin Jr., Dave Dreher, Thomas Mariani and Vixen, the voice of reason, are back again this week to give you the best in horror as they recap, review and obliterate all that is horror this week!

Review: Maggie (2015) 

To the Black Saint’s joy, MAGGIE finally mixes action hero Arnold Schwarzenegger with zombie cinema only to find that the film delivers a more introspective look into the transformation from human to ghoul and its effect on the family dynamic instead. His dreams of a killer Arnie vs Zombie action flick are crushed. Vixen doesn’t care and loves the film anyway. Ah, the drama.

What Have You Been Watching: Spring (2015) 

The Grue-crew explore one of the best and refreshing creature films of the year, SPRING. Surprisingly not everyone on the show is on board with this film from Justin Bensonand  and Aaron Moorhead featuring Lou Taylor Pucci and Nadia Hilker. It’s When Harry Meet Sally blended with Lovecraft. Whatever you do, don’t listen to Doc.
