Fellow fiends, welcome to another terrifying and delectable episode of nightmare on film Street the horror podcast with zero credibility, but all of the blood ghouls. And Gore your puny heart can handle let's give a grave Welcome to our hosts John and Kim. Hello again fiends and welcome to a bonus episode of nightmare on film street. I'm John Kim today. We are counting down our top 10 picks from 2018. Yes, we could have up to 20 different movies on this episode. We each picked 10. Neither of us knows what the other picked all films that we saw for the first time this year that either got a full release or a festival release. This is going to be a fun episode. Yeah. We got a bunch of Europe X horror movies Festival funds like he said and I will say we are very much a horror movie podcast, but when it comes to festivals you you end up dealing with genre film a lot. So although maybe one or two of my pics may not be specifically horror. I think they are genre related and I think as a horror fan, you'll appreciate them. I am sure you guys know how I stand I think everything is whore everything can be classified as horror all those horror naysayers, you know. Who you are if it's dark if it's weird if it's if it can be called genre, then it's a horror film to me. And as far as I'm concerned every single film we're going to mention today is a horror film in one sense or another. Oh, yeah, I'd say the ones that are the farthest away still do that thing where like, oh, I feel like I'm having a heart attack right now because it's so tense which I would say or for the body or the soul horror Soup for the Soul. This is Chicken Soup for the McCobb Soul everybody. Yeah are those books still around? I don't know, okay. Well as if we have an aunt in the hospital you want to kick it off. How are we gonna know you got mad at me last year for going first because all of us like I got to say a movie that you were picking before you so I think I think you did. You start you went first last year. I'm pretty sure are you getting irritated? All right. Okay, I will go first we did we did reiterate. So some of these movies are not actually out out yet that may be annoying upon first. Listen, you might be like what the name of these are out, but I think it's going to be fun. There's a bit of a blend. So some of these movies you can check out right now if you haven't already seen them so you can use it as kind of recommendations and then the other ones you can kind of have to look forward to in 2019. Yeah, right exactly. I kind of don't love the lists that are just movies that are available right now because it's just recapping things. You've already seen like you yes. I know everybody's talked about all of the great movies that came to the theater, but I kind of want something else to look forward to so we're trying to Do that. Well, yeah, these are a great like, what did I miss or what? What should be on my radar from 2018? That wasn't so Kim. I don't know if you know this you are hesitating right now. Okay, Creston 8 and get on with it. Just rip the Band-Aid off. Give me your number 10 pick. Okay. So my number ten pick my 10th favorite film favorite genre horror film of 2018 was unfriended dark web. Oh I wrote down thoroughbreds. Yeah. I picked this. I'm sure you guys know found footage is kind of my soft spot. I thought this was a really well executed. It really Nails the computer screen Vibe and when you're watching it and knowing it's a film and not actually somebody just on a computer. It is seamless it also has some really dark cereal murdery stuff and dissent and chaos and society and I just love it man. Like I love that movie. I'm so glad it's on your list. My number 10 spot was was the hardest of this entire list. Because so many films kept going on it and coming off of it because it was the last one that I had and I had a whole handful of movies that I wanted to include unfriended dark. What was one of them that kept coming on and unfortunately came off. So I'm glad at least collectively between the two of us made the list one of us AI has another list my number 10 though terrified. Oh, wow. Yeah, that one's available on shutter right now. There's also an english-language remake coming, which I totally called in my review totally humble. Bragging but I did totally call it. Yeah, even though it's number 10 on my list though. I'd say probably one of the scarier movies of the entire year very scary the fucking way that they build some of the scares this movie is genius. I love how its presented. It's almost a horror Anthology movie that sort of pause. It's an entire neighborhood is haunted rather than just one house don't want to say too much but it is available on shutter right now. If you haven't seen it and I would highly recommend it. What did you write down? What did you think I was going to? I don't want to spoil later films on the list. So I'm just going to say that I did I did not write that down. That's how we're gonna do this. Yeah, you only get two. Oh, I totally called it. I didn't well then I shouldn't have told you what mine was shouldn't like the rules were not clear. It's okay. We were kind of flying by the seat of our Christmas pants. Okay. Oh, it's me again. So my number nine film you definitely did not write down. Oh, it's Suspiria. I didn't love this film initially. We Revisited it and I still Mmm, so I'm totally gonna admit I still don't love it. But I definitely have a bigger appreciation for it. And I think it was the most discussed film of the year. And I think it brought the most conversation. Yeah and films that break out of the mold and make you want to discuss it. I think deserve some credit even if you don't necessarily agree with all the decisions that made so this is probably my least favorite film on the list, but it was the most fun to talk about and yeah, so that's why it made the list. I think it earned it. I think it And being in the genre picks this year. I had a very hard time not putting it on my list. You didn't put it on your list. No, you should have said that because I want to guess that as my number nine pick. No, I would have guessed it higher up. I know I've been talking a lot about it since and it was a struggle. This was the hardest movie not to put on my top ten list because yeah seeing at that second time. I had such a deeper appreciation for it, and I there's going to be no shortage of people telling you to see it so Not necessarily worried like, oh I got to get the word out on this movie. But yeah, when I was putting this list together, there were just there were just 10 other movies that I liked a lot more and it hurt so much. I had that as my number 10 for so long and eventually just swapped it out. But whatever it's what honorable mentions before I'm talking about it right now is though. It's my number nine. It's really funny because you definitely liked it more than me. You definitely still like it more than me. I think that's why I threw my writing pad away. I don't know. You know what it is. It's just that like I have that that second time around I kind of like fell in Of with 80% of that movie but in the end. Yeah, there's there was a lot to talk about and chew on with this one and I think we don't get movies like that all the time. And so I appreciate it. I yeah, I'm giving it an odd but moving on my number nine pick and Kim can go ahead and guess this if she likes my number nine pick is Overlord. Okay. All right. I love this movie. I thought it was fucking crazy. I thought it was absolutely nuts and despite the fact that it's not horror whatsoever except for the horrors of War. It's her the dough that open it now. I'm at the opening 20 minutes. Like the first half of the movie is just a war movie and it's some of those craziest scariest shit that I've ever seen and if it doesn't get an Oscar for sound design, I am removing myself from the academy. I'm stripping my name off the wall. I don't want to be a member of this club anymore, sir. Can you please get out of the lobby? No, I'm writing my name down and I'm stripping it. I didn't write anything down because I am having a really big blank on movies that aren't on my list. So that's okay. I'm not I'm not I've stopped writing stuff down as well. Okay, so - going to try and figure out what you like your number your top two movies. We are going to know what they are. Okay, tell you what, I will just write down what I think is your number one movie. Okay, leave it at that. I'm gonna write your number one movie. It's really between two movies. I'm just Wondering like which is your number 2 in which is your number one. Yeah, I'm trying to figure that out. Okay, I'm going I'm going with the boulder choice because I think that was what you did. Okay. So my number eight pick number eight on my list is Tom bab. Really? I love your list. Yeah every movie that I just I was not brave enough to put on mine as I'm yours. This is a great list. So Tom bad is a really cool Fable story. It's about why I can't even talk about what if Out because it's such a surprise when it comes but it's got elements of fantasy and folklore and it's inter woven with a dysfunctional family story and it's just such a fun watch and it was one of my favorite Festival finds of this year not so, you know Kim has the greatest poker face. I just want to say because occasionally I'll bring I'll bring movies epic man. Can you remember how great Tom bad was she like, yeah, you know, like that's it and oh my God, I guess you didn't like it all that much. It's just because she wants to trick me. Me at the end of the year and and yeah my list. Oh man look good. I wish I was better. I literally gave away two of my pics 20 minutes ago without even realizing it. Yeah in the car. He was just talking about synopsises and I was just sitting there quietly on my phone. Yeah, like oh, so now I know what you what you picked. Damn. That is a great movie and it like your traditional folklore stories No One Is Safe, you know what? I mean? Like, it doesn't necessarily follow a set pattern of like, oh your main character is always going to be Okay and children can never be hurt but once you get into like the old world folklore you realize that the world is cruel. Yeah, and it's like first targets great pick great pick. My number eight pick though, which I think pairs perfectly with Overlord is leeuwen Elle's upgrade a cool. I love Harry movie. We you know, we only saw it once at at the Overlook Film Festival. We didn't get a chance to see it in the theater when it was released in. Canada and if you haven't had a chance, please it's all available on Blu-ray right now. If you have a Best Buy gift certificate burning a hole in your Christmas stocking right now, I would absolutely recommend spending it on this movie it is wild it looks fucking great and it's like every super cool high-concept sci-fi movie that you saw from the 80s that's like really simple and focuses on a small story while there's a bigger World outside of it. It feels like a much bigger movie than it is and to interrupt you like all those Concepts in whatever, I'm great. That sounds fun. Super not interested in sci-fi stuff, but the action sequences alone how well they're directed and now well, what's the name of the lead actor Logan Marshall Green Logan Marshall Green. If you remember he plays the Jesus type character in the invitation the really quiet horror drama and see him inside a role that requires such physicality and it's totally directed every second every movement. It's fucking cool. Yeah. I'm sure you guys are familiar with it. He is he's paralyzed from the neck down, but with the assistance of stem technology, he's able to have control of his body again and to watch him react to his own body just like tearing people apart is insane because the the face acting has to be completely different from the the bodily actions bodily actions. That doesn't make sense the muscular movements. Yeah. No guys, it's cool. That's such a good movie whenever we at 7-7. All right. My number seven is Not on your list because I don't think you loved it as much as I did bad times at the El Royale. Yeah, I'll let you talk about it. I just thought it was super fun. It's kind of a crime Ensemble Thriller and it's definitely set with a vibe that I'm totally about. It's got that cool like 50s. Hay day, but it's definitely not in its Heyday anymore. So it's got a little bit of that dirt and grime and it's a lot of people were calling it Quentin Tarantino light and I'm totally fine with that. I like a light dose of Quentin Tarantino and this The movie was definitely that yeah, I don't know that that really does the movie any favors, but I do think it explains exactly what you're in for to say that it's Quentin Tarantino lights its own thing. So I don't necessarily love saying that yeah, it's hard to describe it. Any other way though, because Quentin Tarantino has definitely claimed the crime Ensemble film. Yeah silent generation sort of thing exactly the set pieces in this movie are great. The performances are awesome. The music is killer. Especially given especially given them one character does a lot of the singing in the scenes. It's so great music-wise. I wasn't super in love with it story-wise my love it but it's a good movie. It was really fun. My number seven. However, also a crime movie David Robert Michels under the Silver Lake. Wow, you've got to be higher in the list. We have had different movies. So far the entire time. Yeah. Good point. This is such a surprise only half. We're all we're not even halfway through the list though this could roll over. It is a very that's a surprise. I'm surprised you didn't think that would be on there knowing okay. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what I was thinking. I will honestly say I was surprised that this was only at number 7 when we when we saw this movie and Fantasia. I was like fuck. Yes best movie of the year. Holy shit. I love this. I am constantly obsessed with film Noir especially this year and I think this movie yeah, so thanks for that man since we saw this movie I have been watching you are every day. Day, oh no ours fir ever. Nor does it every meal like this? That's the diet that I'm on right now. I know our a day keeps the new ours present. Yeah, it's great. It's driving him nuts, but I'm loving it is because then after he's like member that one more than what they rob the bank or whatever and I was like, what do you mean all of them? What like was the seventies when we watched it yesterday and I was like what so this this movie is is super awesome. If you love movies set in Hollywood if you love movies about movies, or Are just like Weird Mysteries, if you love that La hard-boiled Noir, this is a hundred percent for you. But this movie has had such a strange release. It was originally scheduled for summer. Then it got pushed to December. It's since been pushed to April of 2019, but I will say that there was a rumor going around the movie was being cut and reworked and changed. Apparently that's not true. So the version that we've seen that we fell in love with at least I did is that I should be the version you're seeing in April and I would absolutely recommend it if David Robert Mitchell doesn't sound familiar. He is the writer director of it follows. And while this isn't as horror e it is such a cool follow-up and thanks for that. Kim has to hurry. I thought there was more in there also in its own way. Very Tarantino esque it borrows from so many classic films without without seeming like it's Rippen, so my number six pick is definitely going to be the first film that has a list crossover. I know a thousand percent that this is on your list. All right has to be on your list because of how much we talked about it this year. Hmm. My number six pick is lose. Oh, yeah. Only number six. Okay, we've talked about it a lot. It's a really broken down exorcism film. It doesn't have the whole Catholic Church aspect. And it's very isolated and small and creative and explores how to tell and convey a story and different alternate timelines without ever leaving the timeline you're in and I thought it was a really well-executed film. Yeah. I have not stopped thinking about this movie since we saw it. I want to watch it again. Like I'm so bugging to see it again. I I saw it at a small screening. I dragged Kim out to it. We almost saw it again. Texas I will continue to watch this movie over and over and it's only like 70 minutes. It's trimmed of all fat. It's super super great has this 80s aesthetic that I think is awesome. And he's 17. Okay. It's light years 70s early 80s aesthetic. I will fight you in his seventies and like to sum it up real simply. It's a possession movie that takes place mostly under hypnosis like fuck there's so much. Much good in this movie. I don't have a bad thing to say about it. Yeah, I don't think this one's yet. I think it's still doing its Festival fun stuff. It's scheduled for a first quarter release no specific date, but earlier in 2019. That's great. Well, it's all wet and damp you get to see a really cool position movie. Yeah, I mean cold weather is ideal. Oh, yeah. This is demon time. My number six pick which I think will also be a list crossover is Chang done, Leesburg. Starring Stephen Young from The Walking Dead adapted from Haruki. Murakami's short story. I love her Aguirre recovery. But this movie is fucking incredible this movie is it has so many layers in it. And I really don't think we should talk about it too much. Yeah other than to say a young man meets a girl from his past whoo, he starts to fall in love with until she meets someone else and then there's like This third wheel aspect, but there's some interesting Dynamics and who's getting pleasure from it and who's suffering there's it's a really slow burn movie. It's almost I think it's three hours long. It's a glass. Yeah, but it's totally worth it and you will be rewarded for paying attention. Yeah. I think I'm either think I'm borrowing this from somebody else. I'm almost positive. I heard somebody else described it this way that it's I don't know. It's in the movie. They talk about it a lot how it's Kind of like a modern Great Gatsby as if it were directed by Alfred Hitchcock almost it's very hitchcockian. And yes a very slow burn very rewarding movie very rewarding on a second watch. I'm sure and to be honest I owe him a lot of credit for the love that I have for this movie. She watched it and saw a completely different movie than I did. And while I like them both she was on a whole other level with this move. I feel really bad because that night at the bar we saw this at Fantastic Fest I just like unloaded that movie on like 12 different people and I was like, this is what it means. I hope I'm right because they were probably probably left that conversation being like what the fuck I think the movie is very very open-ended. I think you are supposed to figure that movie out a little bit but it's all there. It's a hundred percent all there and this movie I know is playing in Select theaters right now might be a little harder to find but I do know a theater very close to us in Toronto as playing it. So chances are a major city near you. Is probably playing this right now and I would highly encourage you go check it out. All right, so my number five pick five horror films halfway through the list to make this a top 1200. Well, yeah, that's too much work. Yeah, it's too much stress. I don't know though. I would have had Suspiria on this Loop to my has wealth. So this is another definitely I think we've reached cross the crossover point. I think this is the threshold where we're going to be talking about the same movies. I'm pretty sure I got one. R2 on here then why not be on your list of my number 5. Yeah Mandy. Oh really? My number five is Mandy is it? Yep, I 5 5 twins. No Mandy's just a really cool film. It is washed in hot pink and it is Rage Cage at his finest honestly, like warrant it like the first time it's ever made complete and utter and perfect sense and like I've emoted along with him. Oh, yeah. It's badass. It's confusing and not confusing. It's confounding. Mmm. I feel like this movie just breaks all filmmaking conventions. Maybe not all its it has Beats that it follows that other movies also do but it's like this movie doesn't really begin for an hour and it goes to such crazy plays like if you really say, oh, this is a Revenge movie The Revenge portion of this movie is 20 minutes at the end it is it is so much just like steeping yourself in the old that it's in and yeah, it's just bathed in red and pink and it is such a psychedelic trip to watch and yeah, I think this movie is some of the best use of Nicolas Cage ever. Yeah and one of the things too that I really appreciated it is I was really pumped on seeing this like hard rock and roll movie. I almost thought I was going to be walking into like a Revenge movie with like a kick-ass rock and roll like Satan fingers twist and Fact that it's so slow down and like it's a very chill movie that we don't get to experience films like that anymore. They don't make them like that. Nope films have to keep like a certain Action level throughout the entire thing and to go and see a movie that wasn't afraid to take its time in the movie theater was like a really refreshing experience. Yeah, because they sure you'd be able to to have a movie that's an experience that you're supposed to let wash over you on an indie release on VOD or thing but to go to the movie theater and see that was incredible. Yeah, like especially when we're in this world were always on Twitter. We're always on Instagram. We're clicking between Facebook. We always have our phones and our faces its accelerated culture, but you know what, I mean to go and watch a movie that that is like, you know, what we're going to we're going to hit pause, you know where we're going, you know where this is headed and like we're just gonna like languish in this. Yeah, and I really liked it. Absolutely. So we I guess we should skip order, you know, we know that was both are fives. Yep. Do you want to go for no? Me to go first now. Okay. All right. We'll skip order a little bit my number for a movie that is definitely not on Kim's list, but only because she hasn't seen it yet. Holy shit. Am I gonna make her see it the standoff at Sparrow Creek? I think I've already established that I love film Noir. No, this is the pitch blackest film Noir. There is like that gut punch you have at the end of Chinatown or blowout like this is exactly like that. I it is a hard. Attack in a can like it since it's insane how tense this movie is and honestly it's tense with nothing. It's all dialogue. It's all steeped in paranoia. It's all what these characters are. Assuming is happening. It is so fucking brilliant and it's insane that this is his first movie. It's a release from sin estate who you will definitely know from bronze. I walk 99 and Puppet Master it follows a small militia that have just received word. That a police funeral was fired upon by some crazed gunman they all meet together at their at a lumber yard where they're also storing their grenades and their guns to figure out and make sure that none of them is responsible for it and they're fairly certain. They aren't until they realized that one of their guns is missing which means one of them lied and one of them is definitely the gunman and they need to figure out who it was before they all go to jail was like an Agatha Christie action movie it is so fucking good. I cannot stress to you how Edible this movie as and I will say my top five like Mandy onward all these movies could be number one and it's so hard not to make this movie or Mandy or my next movie. My number one pick. They are all my number one pick. I'm just delving them out to you or just Doling them out to you in a different order. This movie is fucking incredible. I really underestimated the films that you've seen that I haven't seen because I totally Peg Mandy is your number one. That's oh did you? Yeah, you wanna take another shot. I'll give you another shot. Iy know what my second pick is definitely now, right? Is it yep, so my number four pick sorry, the standard fare Creek is coming early January. So like next week. Basically, you've got two weeks to get prepared and oh boy, if you can see this movie in the theater, I highly recommend I said that about every movie but but I mean to sit in a room in just complete darkness, like I think the tension and the paranoia of this movie really settles in an unfamiliar environment like a movie theater, but either way please tweeted me when you see this movie. I need to know what you thought. Okay. And my number four pick you I'd already guessed it pretty early on you didn't put it high enough on the list. My number four was thoroughbreds. I'm very glad it's on your list though. Yeah, it's really stuck with me. It's a really simple kind of quiet. Whorish story. It follows two girls who are kind of forced to be friends and their affluent and board. Basically one of them is maybe Psychopathic and they together plot something devious. And it's all about learning who these girls are. I love this film particularly because of how its kind of staged. It feels like a stage play where you're just watching two characters and we're in these full Rich sets. It's filmed in these really nice houses, but it could very well just be filmed on a student stage with absolutely nothing and you kind of get the same thing because it's not about where they are. It's about these two girls and only these two girls and I loved it. So it's interesting to you because it was intended. That as a play. Hmm. Yeah, and it's if you guys haven't seen it yet. It's so great. And I think the last on-screen appearance from Anton Yelchin, I think so. Yeah, it was filmed like it wasn't the last thing he filmed but it was the it's the last thing I think released. Hmm and it's great. Like he's a complete scene stealer and everything is in. Oh, he's it's and it's a character like you haven't seen him play before. Yeah. He's such a pathetic character. Like we all know that guy who's just yeah. It's like everybody went to high school with that guy like the second you see him. You have so much baggage you Is unload on this character the screen. All right. We're in top three Carrot Top three top three country. Here we go number three for me. Arie Astor's hereditary. Oh my God, I know but like I said, all of these movies can be my number one. Okay, every single hear it. Okay. I mean I did there is no performance in this movie. That is bad. We what we've seen it twice in the theater. We've both read the screenplay. Is that bad to say? No, okay. Okay, I think everybody's written screenplays comment. So great. Okay, if there was a novelization I would read the novelization. You know what though? I have to commend the cut that they finally got down to because the scenes that they caught they cut out were definitely what I would have could have agreed. I think some of the stuff that's in the screenplay that didn't make it to the screen good scenes but not entirely needed. Yeah. I just I love how much this film with holds and how much it tells you and when it decides to do those things and some of those extra scene. I think added a little extra knowledge that it's more fun to play in that realm of like what the fuck? Yeah, and it's crazy to me that people didn't love this movie as much as I thought they would it's a very slow burn. It's my biggest disappointment or 2018 at the world. Just like everybody just didn't love this movie. Yeah, I mean like outside of the inciting incident of the movie. If you haven't seen it there aren't jump scares and I'm fine with that because this movie is just Shred and it's a story about loss and mourning and grief and how it travels from person to person and it's fucking crazy. I love that this movie is just this Crescendo of Doom like it just gets worse and worse and worse. And I think it's like scientifically built to be as scary and unsettling as unof scary and unsettling as possible in the score is great something that I pay attention to the second time, like holy shit the score this He's amazing and like fucking that house is great. Yeah, like the cinematography the performances from fucking literally everybody Alex Wolff to get an Oscar. Only Colette should get an Oscar even a real bird everybody everybody. He honestly I think he's overlooked in this movie the most underestimated like we've seen how many times have we seen it? I've seen this a few times. Yeah, and now every time I watch it I try to watch a different thing the last time I saw it I just watched it from His character's perspective and like fuck does he have a doozy going on? Yeah, and he just he's holding it together for everybody like the rock of the family when like everything is just like descending and he doesn't get any time to himself to like deal with what he's dealing with. Oh man, it's alright and yeah II could just as easily bump this up to number 2 or 1. I love this movie a lot, but I got to stick with it in number three. I got two good movies coming. So my number three film you had already put it on your list. Is burning. Yeah. I had a feeling you'd put this little higher than me. Oh, it's so good so good. There's not really much else I can say about that. We didn't already talked about but just that it I love how ambiguous it is. And there's so many puzzle pieces that that don't quite fit together, but then they do sort of fit together and you're suspicious the whole movie and you don't really have any out right reasons. Why and unfortunately, you're you're so rooting for the lead. Character because he's actually a really decent okay guy and what plays out is just so off but not but not often enough to like phone the police like it is. Yeah. It's a it's a good movie. It's a really good movie. So my number two sorry that it's this is the worst when you have two separate lists because I know you stole all the things I've talked about me. Hey, you help to talk about it with me earlier. So I mean you got your moment to shine. My number-two pick though. I'm feeling this might be what you wrote down. Tillman singers lose. Nope. No, there's no you wrote down. Okay. No, I was completely wrong on your top list. Okay, that's fine. So, yes again, I don't know that there's necessarily much more I can say that we haven't already said this movie is amazing. I think it's my new favorite Possession movie in like Kim said, I think it might be because there's no Catholic priests that are just that just have to pray just a little harder to win. But this movies brilliant also doesn't have Mother's Love, which is another important factor, right? Somebody's possessed by anything. Don't think I have Mother's Love anywhere on this list. Anna Terry. I think his mother's love Mother's love does not save the day. I know God so dark, I love that movie. But yes lose keep an eye out for it. You know, actually you may have it may sound familiar. It is in Sam Zimmerman's Festival finds in the first edition of fangoria. I think he also mentions murdering monster, which is very fucking weird. But lose hopefully that means that it's coming to shut At some point if the curator is picking it out as a great movie. He saw on the festival circuit this year, but regardless keep an eye out for it. I really don't think you'll be disappointed. My number two pick. Hmm is the guilty. Yeah. Oh, yeah, of course, of course. Yeah. I didn't know if you're going to put it on your list because it's definitely the least horror e of the the bunch but this is definitely an emotional film and I really enjoyed it follows a cop. Who's kind of been temporarily demoted to a 9-1-1 operator and it's follows him on one night with one particular call and it is gut-wrenching. It's so hard to watch. Yeah, so fucking and how the story unfolds and most of it is done in your imagination because you're just getting voice as a lot of people you don't ever get faces to match with those voices and it plays out across his face. Hmm. Yeah, I think honestly, I think would not have been hard and wouldn't have been surprised. From anybody else this movie would have cut away from that room but to its credit it stays just with that main character. It's so brilliantly put together and I think it's even darker because we don't see anything else the other side of that call and it works so well for the story because this is a man who is used to action. He's like a jump first ask questions later kind of guy. He's a cop. He's in action the fact that he's locked in this room and he cannot do anything is unbearable for him and fuck. It's a good movie. It's a great movie. A very very good movie, you know, I would have loved to have included it on my list and that there's a few other ones kind of like it but I started putting these movies down and like men the uh, none of these are horror movies yet. It's some point I had to start taking them out. And honestly, I knew it was a guarantee that it was going to be in your top 10. So I wrote it with I think was the second film. I wrote down I will I wrote I did mind the opposite way that you did. I wrote my first list my first film and I was like, okay, what's my second film and then my third film and then I kind of thing move once I wrote it down. That's pretty good. Yeah, absolutely. I moved I labored over mine because like I don't know like there's so many good movies. I would love to include them all and depending on how I feel one day or the other I can swap them in and swap them out. I guarantee if I look at this list again tomorrow, I'm gonna be like, oh shit. I should have moved this around I should have included that also the guilty available right now you watch it right now. You can rent it or buy it but it is available. Definitely check it out totally totally and it's like date night movie like watch it with your girlfriend your boyfriend your dog. Yeah, you want to see the love you want to see your loved ones cry put it on you need an emotional support group for this one. So how you gonna know you're dating a psychopath if you don't make them if you really don't try and force that cry out of yeah, like but don't watch it in front of anybody that you don't want to cry in front of it. So like don't have a bro night and then my number one film and I would not have expected to put a zombie movie on my number one, but my number one movie is one cut of the dead guys. This is the greatest movie I have ever seen. Scene II at the beginning of every year if you told me January 1st. Hey the end of this year, you're gonna have a zombie movie in your top ten anywhere in my top ten. I would have said you don't know what you're talking about. There is no way. I'm putting a zombie movie in my top ten because I'm so sick of them guys. This is news on B movies on your top 10. What's my second? Zombie move Overlord? Oh, yeah zombie movie. Hey, I mean two years ago. I my favorite one of my favorite movies. If not, my favorite movie was trained to boost. On and much in the same way of trading was on. This is not just a zombie movie it is. Oh man. How do I even describe this movie? This movie is definitely best scene with little knowledge all say but the idea of it is that a small film crew has gotten together to shoot a really low budget be zombie movie but surprised they start getting attacked by real zombies, but it's not just that it's also a story about family getting together and just like achieving their goals. It's about just like not compromising your vision and your Artistic integrity when everything says that you should it's like a crazy feel-good movie of the year, but it's also it's also a movie about filmmaking. It's like a love letter to be movies and everything. You awfully good and I'm thinking about it the fact that shape of water was my number one pick last year. I'm a bit of a Off the anything. That's this movie Super surprising and friend of ours at Fantastic Fest said, hey, I really love the beginning and then I really didn't love it. And then I was back to really really really loving it. And I think that's the roller coaster you're supposed to take with this movie. It has such weird decisions and it goes down like the strangest Alleyways of its story but it comes back around and like just like the greatest movie possible. I don't know when it's coming out, but please keep it. Hi, everyone kind of the Dead. I think it's like one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. I had no idea. This was even going to be on your list. Let alone on the top of your list. Yeah. It was very hard not to pick any of the other movies I mentioned is my number one, but this movie is incredible. Okay, so my number one pick, I'm sure you guys all know it is the only film that I have not mentioned yet. Yep. It is hereditary going to show you my handwriting right here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I originally had Mandy as your number one and hereditary is your number two, but yeah hereditary just blue. Your way it exceeded All my expectations it was the most Dreadful movie. I saw this year. It was tense. It was uncomfortable. And I think it was scary from the first moment to the last and it built Horror in a way that I think modern horror films don't really like a way that modern horror films don't really use much anymore. And it I don't know the whole what the fuck moment that you have throughout the film is so carefully crafted and the pressure and the weight that they put on you without really understanding. Understanding what's going on, you know, it's all going to come to a head but you don't know how or why or what and it's fuck. It's such a good movie and probably one of my favorite movie theater experiences this year. It was like you said just absolutely unsettling from beginning to end. I think part of that might have been just like the hype machine that came with it. But yeah from moment one, it was scary and I was completely it's like the movie just like grabbed me by the shoulder. Shook me at points. It's great pick. Yeah, do you want to do some quick honorable mentions? I do my honorable mentions just to Rattle off a few that we've already mentioned Suspiria. Obviously, the guilty thoroughbreds unfriended dark web all movies. I wish I could have included on my list but my big honorable mentions that no one has discussed yet bloodfest super fun movie set in an amusement park that's real life. Horror movie. You guys will absolutely love it Puppet Master the littlest Reich just some of the Wildest craziest kills that have seen all year pure bad taste absolute awesome midnight movie and one last honorable mention a very odd film. It's like a Sci-Fi westerns called Prospect. Honestly, I think it'd be a good double bill with Mandy to be perfectly honest, but probably the least horror on this entire list some of my honorable mentions Apostle, which is on Netflix. So, I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen it Go stories, which I think came out the beginning of this year. All right. Yeah, that was a really fun one dolls lab room which is a French film kind of a weird fog type film. It's about family love a quiet place, which was just a really interesting theater experience. Yeah Overlord for all of the reasons John put it on his list the wind which is a really quiet subtle Prairie horror, which I'm totally all about. Yeah and the site Theon which I've tweeted about a bunch of times is a really badass Adventure movie. It's It's been released as the last Warrior. Thanks John. But yes the site the is how you may also find reviews and photos of it. You know, I have to say we did a pretty good job having separate list. I have to say let's just pass all I'm just saying like we had a good variety. I was surprised how few crossovers we had. Yeah, I think last year. It was almost the same list. Yeah. We saw over a hundred genre films that were released this year a hundred new genre films. Yeah. The camera the exact number I think there's like a hundred and twenty or something that would like that's all that's on top of all of the 70s movies in the 40s. You are so wouldn't yeah that's just movies. We saw at festivals in the movie theaters and screeners and stuff. Like I think that's crazy.

Before we go one last real quick question when we be most looking forward to in 2019. Ooh, um, what movie am I most looking forward to in 2019? I'm going to go with pet cemetery. Yeah, and you know, I wouldn't have said that before the trailer, but that trailer is amazing. It is one of the most well done, mate. In horror trailers, I almost put it on my top 10 movies of 2018 just the trailer. Yeah. It was it's so good. It's so well done the sound like the sound design and the the cuts and stuff and the kids the kids with the fucking animal masks like so good. So excited when I think about like I definitely was he dragged across concrete because I fucking love everything sin a state does three from hell's probably coming out sometime next year and Rob Zombie's I am always interesting but I'm gonna call right now the movie I am most looking forward to is not Pet Sematary, it is not it chapter 2 it is the movie that has definitely not been announced and may not come out do those at 19 but I'm fucking betting on it Halloween to that's not going to be on 2019, you know think so. No, then they announced Halloween one like January of 2018. Yeah, but they had a screenplay written and they had Jamie Lee Curtis signed on for I guess that helps 2020 maybe yeah, probably three from hell then very much looking forward to three from hell.
