| 99CR 48: Mulholland Drive | 15 Dec 2025 | 02:01:32 | |
This week we're doing David Lynch! We dissect his 2001 Hollywood nightmare, Mulholland Drive. David Lynch is one of our favorite filmmakers, period, and one of the greatest of all time and this may be his best movie. Originally conceived as a new television series for ABC, the network ultimately passed on it and Lynch was given the opportunity to repurpose the footage for a new feature. This movie is about Betty, or maybe it's about Diane. Or hell! It may be about both of them. Are they same person? Perhaps. Following a terrible car accident, a mysterious woman finds her way into the life of Betty and together the two of them investigate the mystery of her amnesia. Someone was trying to kill her when she lost her memory. Who wants her dead? I guess we'll find out. Or maybe we won't. It's a David Lynch movie, after all. Everything goes apeshit in that typical David Lynch way and it turns out that this may have all been the fantasy of a deeply mentally ill woman named Diane Selwyn. Or maybe not. Who can say, really? We break it down and subject it to our own interpretations and if you want to know what those are you'll have to listen to the episode.

| 92: A Return To Salem's Lot | 08 Dec 2025 | 01:47:29 | |
This week we're looking at Larry Cohen's bizarre sequel to Tobe Hooper's hit TV miniseries, Salem's Lot which was based on the novel by Stephen King. While the studio bent over backwards to convince video renters that this movie was also from the mind of Stephen King and also had that cool Kurt Barlow vampire, Cohen's movie bears very, very little in common with the original. When anthropologist Joe Weber is called back to New York to deal with his delinquent son, he decides to reconnect with the kid by moving out to an old cottage he inherited from his aunt in Salem's Lot, Maine. When they arrive, however, they quickly learn that the town is haven to a race of vampires hiding in plain sight. They have plans for Joe and his son Jeremy and are desperately trying to maintain their ancient way of life. Cohen set out to make a satire of American conservatism in the 80's with this movie but the end product doesn't quite stick the landing.

| 86: Ghostwatch | 06 Oct 2025 | 01:51:57 | |
This week we take on another made-for-tv movie -- another British made-for-tv movie -- as we take in the notorious BBC Halloween stunt, Ghoswatch. In 1992 the BBC set out to make a movie about a paranormal investigation gone horribly awry. The kicker is that it's cast with real BBC personalities and was kinda/sorta presented to the English TV watching public as a real investigation. A portion of the viewers were deeply affected by the movie and it resulted in a minor public panic that resulted in some actual diagnosed cases of PTSD for some viewers and one very tragic suicide. Since that time, Ghostwatch has lived in the imagination of British viewers who watched it and were either scared out of their fucking minds or were seriously entertained because there's no two ways about it, Ghostwatch is a good time. Taking notes from the Enfield Poltergeist investigation of the late 1970's, Ghostwatch presents a family in trouble in some council housing in North London. The mother is at wits end. Her daughters are being harassed by a terrible spirit that they call Pipes. As the movie unfolds across 90 minutes, we learn more about the neighborhood, the old local legend of Mother Seddons and the terrible secret of Raymond Tunstall. Pipes The Ghost hides in plain sight among numerous shots and the whole comes together as all hell breaks loose and the TV broadcast accidentally lets a terrible force loose across all of England.

| 99CR 06: Rad | 26 Feb 2024 | 01:31:38 | |
Bryan and Dave get ready to break the ice and take a trip back to 1986 to relive BMX madness in the form of Rad, a sports movie that fails on every front and still manages to command a significant cult movie presence in history. It's the story of Cru Jones, a small-town kid with a dream who just need one chance to prove to the world that he's best BMX rider in the world, to prove that he's rad. Fortunately, the world is ready to just hand over the glory as he doesn't really have to work or struggle very hard to realize his dreams.

| 36: Dawn of the Dead | 19 Feb 2024 | 02:36:27 | |
Bryan and Dave celebrate one year of podcasting with a real deep dive into George Romero's paradigm shifting zombie epic, Dawn of the Dead. In the history of horror movies, there are only a few movies that changed the way movies are made and viewed and this is one of them. It's a zombie survival fantasy set in shopping mall with wild shifts in tone that don't always work and a graphic violence about it that its contemporaries did not share. After this one came out, everybody in Italy was suddenly making zombie horror movies.

| 35: My Bloody Valentine (Bonus) | 14 Feb 2024 | 02:10:25 | |
Listen up, hosers! Dave and Bryan love you and have sent you this Valentine's Day love letter to 1981's Canadian slasher movie classic, My Bloody Valentine. It's better than you expect it to be, with a cast of people that you actually grow to like. Sure, it's another slice and dice picture from the golden age of slashers but not too many of them paid this much attention to the craft of telling a story. How does this movie hold up to modern standards? You're going to have to listen to find out.

| 99CR 05: Ganja & Hess | 12 Feb 2024 | 01:38:05 | |
This week, Dave and Bryan celebrate Black History Month with a look at Bill Gunn's delirious 1973 vampire movie, Ganja & Hess, which stars Gunn, Marlene Clark, and Duane Jones from Night of the Living Dead. It's a sleepy, dreamy art film about black identity, gender, class, and the loneliness of a man without ancestry as damaged people deal with themes of blackness in America through the gauzy lens of a vampire movie. Often lumped in with blaxploitation movies like Blacula and Shaft, it is anything but.

| 33: X-Ray w/guests Jonny Atkinson and Aileen Clark | 05 Feb 2024 | 01:46:06 | |
This week Bryan and Dave are joined by Jonny and Aileen from the Uy Que Horror podcast for a maddening breakdown of the Cannon Films deep cut, X-Ray (aka Hospital Massacre), starring Barbi Benton as a woman who just needs to pick up her check-up results and spends the rest of the day in a Franz Kafka nightmare, navigating a hospital staffed by intense, antagonistic hospital staff and a masked murderer from her past. This whole movie is bonkers.

| 99CR 04: Phantom of the Paradise | 29 Jan 2024 | 01:59:44 | |
Dave and Bryan take a look at a staple of the cult movie circuit, Brian De Palma's bizarre pop music opera and riff on gothic horror, Phantom of the Paradise. It's a wild ride through the nostalgia wave of the 1970's, standout performances from a bright cast, and the music of the movie's villain, Paul Williams, whose hair is just magnificent!

Bryan and Dave are joined this week by drag performer extraordinaire, Peaches Christ, to talk about the arch-80's vampire classic from 1985, Fright Night, starring William Ragsdale, Roddy McDowall, and Chris Sarandon (making his second appearance on the pod). It's an awesome movie that could have been even better for reasons we get deep in the weeds over.

| 99CR 03: Polyester | 15 Jan 2024 | 01:34:04 | |
This week Bryan and Dave take a trip to Baltimore for a look at John Waters' transitional picture, Polyester, bridging the gap between his combative, confrontational midnight shockers of the 1970s and his commercial breakthrough in the 1980s. This tour de force let the world know that Divine was more than just an art terrorist in drag but a real, capable comedic actor. When it comes to Polyester, it's the best of both worlds for John Waters fans: An overwrought domestic melodrama in the style of Douglas Sirk and the pure movie chicanery of William Castle. See it in Odorama!

| 31: New Year's Evil | 08 Jan 2024 | 01:40:54 | |
This week Bryan and Dave kick off the new year and hit peak holiday horror movie burnout when they go deep with the 1980 slasher movie, New Year's Evil. Cannon Group wasn't exactly known for horror movies and it'll take them a few years before they work it out but these nascent attempts to get a piece of the action during the golden age of the slasher turned out some really weird misfires and New Year's Evil is leading the charge. More like a giallo than anything else, it seems to possess a profound misunderstanding of what audiences were expecting from a slasher movie and delivers some seriously silly murder setpieces.

| 99CR 02: Delivery Boys | 01 Jan 2024 | 01:51:24 | |
Amid the 2023 summer frenzy of Barbie-fever we discovered a movie made by the Ken doll's namesake, Ken Handler. It's a vanity project that seeks to exploit two of the mid-80's most exploitable trends: the raunchy sex comedy and the breakdance movie and commits to neither of these things. Instead, it serves as light-hearted comedic confession of Handler's classist kink for exploiting smooth, poor, and young men desperate enough to do *anything* to rise above their station in life.

| 99CR 44: Steel and Lace | 29 Sep 2025 | 01:58:49 | |
This week we take a trip back to 1991 for a real video store oddity. It's a rape/revenge movie that also capitalizes on the popularity of Robocop. Written by an Emmy-award winning TV writer, starring a two-time Tony winner as the villain and chock full of kill scenes that are so creative and strange that they could only have been produced for a straight to video exploitation movie. And so deeply committed to its video tape format was it that this movie's preferred aspect ratio is 4:3. Starring Stacy Haiduk as the meddling courtroom sketch artist who is obsessed with solving a series of murders that she has no business investigating in the first place, as well as Bruce Davidson who is horny for revenge. They're both going up against Broadway sensation Michael Cerveris who chews so much scenery that there's not much left for his co-stars. This bizarre revenge plot is aided by a series of extremely ambitious special effects and one scene that blew our minds by how incredibly weird and unique it is.

| 99CR 01: 1990: Bronx Warriors | 01 Jan 2024 | 01:41:38 | |
In the inaugural episode of 99 Cent Rental, brothers Bryan and Dave take a deep dive into the world of Italian exploitation movies with what is ostensibly the perfect specimen of spaghetti apocalypse movies, 1990: The Bronx Warriors. As well as being one of the better examples of the genre, it's also the debut of one of Italy's most peculiar (and tragic) stars, Mark Gregory, a young man of exceptional physique who couldn't possibly be less interested in being in movies.

| 28: Silent Night, Deadly Night w/guest Joe Vallese | 11 Dec 2023 | 01:44:58 | |
This week, Bryan and Dave are joined by author, Joe Vallese, and hope that Santa will judge them to be good because they definitely don't want to get on his bad side as they dive head first into 1984's Santa slasher movie, Silent Night, Deadly Night. The movie that went too far. The movie that put the chill on 80's slasher movies for a couple of years. The movie that parent groups organized and protested against. Did it deserve such treatment? Not really but what's America good for if not full-blown moral panics in the face of imaginary monsters.

Bryan and Dave have such sights to show you! This week they are joined by the co-host of the Morbid podcast, Alaina Urquhart, a demon to some, angel to others, to dive deep into one of her favorite movies and a real top-shelf of the horror canon, Clive Barker's Hellraiser. This movie sets the pace for the late 80's and the 90's in terms of horror, establishes Pinhead and The Cenobites as horror movie heavy hitters, and drives a stake deep into the landscape of horror movies to let the world that know Clive Barker is one of the most original voices in the history of horror fiction and movies. It also features a lot of people sticking their fingers in each others mouths. Satan's done waitin'!

| 26: Blood Rage | 27 Nov 2023 | 01:54:10 | |
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Bryan and Dave dive head-first into the wildly inconsistent shit show that is Blood Rage. Marvel at the utterly deranged performance from Louise Lasser, thrill to the low budget gory special effects that are way better than the movie deserves, cringe like you've never cringed before to the movie's many intimate and sexy scenes that encapsulate the early 1980's like few other horror movies.

| 24: The Watcher in the Woods w/guest Teri Gamble (Bonus) | 06 Nov 2023 | 01:42:07 | |
Bryan and Dave are joined by Teri Gamble of the Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast to talk about Disney's bizarro 80's period where they experimented with more mature films resulting in one of their most easily-forgotten titles, The Watcher in the Woods. At one time, Disney producers and executives were convinced that this was going to be their finest hour, a horror movie to rival The Exorcist. Nowadays, if it's remembered at all, it's remembered for not making a whole lot of sense and having been pulled from theaters for extensive reshoots and two endings that had to be thrown out.

| 23: Halloween (1978) | 30 Oct 2023 | 02:51:05 | |
Bring Me The Axe! concludes its exploration of the Halloween legacy just in time for Halloween with an epic-length love letter to John Carpenter, Debra Hill, and their landmark creation. Halloween represents a major paradigm shift in horror movie and sets the pace for every horror movie that came in its wake. It's elegant. Every piece of the production is working in perfect harmony with the other pieces. The end-product is greater than the sum of its parts. It is a perfect horror movie and it's not surprising in the least that everyone is still obsessed with it.

This week, Bryan and Dave are joined by The Horror Chick, Heather Wixson to get grimy and talk about Rob Zombie's arch-2000's horror movie remake, Halloween.

Bryan and Dave square off against one of the all-time horror movie greats on the most appropriate calendar date of the year. It's 1980's Friday the 13th, a movie made by pornography producers looking to take away a little of that sweet Halloween money for themselves and accidentally set the pace for slasher movies in the 80's. If you had a little cash on-hand with which to make a movie, you set it at a summer camp and killed off a bunch of teenagers for maximum return based on the least possible effort.

| 85: Vacation of Terror 2 - Diabolical Birthday | 22 Sep 2025 | 01:30:36 | |
This week we celebrate Latin American Heritage Month with a look at a horror movie out of Mexico that is very hard to put into words and so we try anyway and sound like complete lunatics. Falling toward the end of the Galindo family film dynasty, Vacation of Terror 2: Diabolical Birthday (Vacaciones de Terror 2: Cumpleaños Diabolico) sees Galindo cousin, Pedro Galindo III with a surprisingly stunning cast of Mexican movie stars. Pedro Fernandez turns up in yet another movie for the Galindo's with his magnificent curly mullet and easy cool. Teen pop star Tatiana shows up to sing her hit single Chicos Chicos as she ages out of the teen pop arena but just a few years prior to her ascent as one of Mexico's biggest children's entertainers. The whole cast is rounded out by a bona fide legend of Mexican film, Joaquin Cordero and I have to wonder if any one of these actors stopped for a moment and pondered what exactly they were doing in this movie because if we were any one of these actors we would be very confused and very concerned. In this very loose sequel to 1989's Vacation of Terror the evil witch-possessed doll somehow escaped its fate of the previous movie and winds up as a prop on a movie studio. With a lot of questions probably best left unanswered, the doll hides under an elaborate birthday cake and transforms into a horrible slimy goblin creature and wreaks havoc on the movie lot as our heroic Julio and bouncy Mayra race against the clock to save the imperiled soul of her sister, Tania, before the sun rises and the slimy witch goblin steals her soul for good. Or something. Look, just go with it.

| 19: Don't Panic (Bonus) | 25 Sep 2023 | 01:52:59 | |
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Bryan and Dave take a trip to Mexico City to celebrate their favorite Ruben Galindo Jr. movie, Don't Panic. It's a blatant a cash-in on the success of Evil Dead and A Nightmare on Elm Street that has so many bizarre qualities to it that you can't help but love it. It's about the love of a grown-ass man and his dinosaur pajamas. It's about the tension between best friends, who might also be enemies? It's about the love shared between two people who no chemistry whatsoever.

This week Bryan and Dave close out their What The Fuck?? series with a children's movie that terrorized an entire generation in Canada, The Peanut Butter Solution. It's a tale of loss and woe when a child loses his hair due to a terrible fright and deals with it poorly. There's also some real nightmare material in there about being kidnapped by a teacher and forced to work in his child slave labor prison.

Bryan and Dave are joined this week to close out their Stephen King Rules! series by Stephen King superfan, Julia Marchese, to talk about the picture that ended the Dino De Laurentis/Stephen King dynasty in the 1980's, Silver Bullet. It stars Corey Haim before he was the teen idol of the 1980's as well as Everett McGill and Gary Busey in a picture where it's kids vs. a werewolf.

| 14: Maximum Overdrive | 07 Aug 2023 | 01:44:03 | |
This week kicks off our Stephen King Rules! series as Bring Me The Axe! takes on Stephen King's first and last credit as director, the undisputed document of cocaine confidence, Maximum Overdrive from 1986. It's an ill-advised adaptation of his own short story, Trucks, that features a lot explosions, big trucks, and Yeardley Smith screaming.

| 13: Sleepaway Camp | 24 Jul 2023 | 01:39:45 | |
This week, Bring Me The Axe! heads to Camp Arawak to explore one of slasher history's most unhinged entries, Sleepaway Camp. What could have been forgotten by history as just another Friday the 13th ripoff is elevated to a truly special place by a parade of dubious directorial decisions, a handful of positively insane performances, and a real wild twist ending that we spoil right from the get-go.

| 12: Madman | 10 Jul 2023 | 01:32:03 | |
This week Bring Me The Axe takes a look at 1981's Madman, a truly weird entry into the early 80's slasher canon. A cast of pleasant, reasonable, and thoughtful counselors at Thanksgiving Gifted Camp face off against a slasher that may be a monster or a zombie or who knows? It's really never clear what Madman Marz is supposed to be. But we get Dawn of the Dead's Gaylen Ross, acting under a pseudonym, as one of horror's worst final girls and Madman Marz has his own theme song.

It's a holiday bonus episode for July 4th! Celebrating Steven Spielberg's landmark accomplishment and one of the all-time greatest movies, Jaws!

Bring Me The Axe closes out their Pride 2023 series with an enthusiastic love letter to James Whale's 1932 pre-code classic for Universal, The Old Dark House, a movie about class consciousness, secrecy, Lilian Bond's feet, and super gay double entendres. It is a perfectly executed piece of gothic horror starring Boris Karloff that must be seen to be believed.

| 99CR 43: If Footmen Tire You What Will Horses Do? w/guest Aileen Clark | 15 Sep 2025 | 02:31:11 | |
Aileen Clark of Uy Que Horror is back to join us for a look at two truly unhinged scare films. In the 1960s and 70s churches occasionally produced low budget morality tales and scare movies to frighten their congregations into going back to church if they feel like they're slacking off. The problem is that they were made by people who didn't know how to make movies with casts of non-actors and extremely low budgets. They were cheap and terrible and everyone hated watching them. Along came Ron and June Ormond and their son Tim, the first family of exploitation, teamed up with Reverend Estus W. Pirkle, a charismatic fundamentalist preacher from Mississippi to adapt Pirkle's fire and brimstone sermon If Footmen Tire You What Will Horses Do that threatened easily frightened Christians with seeking out draconian churches that shunned anything looking like empathy and service in favor of a hard line position against all things communism. In the sequel, The Burning Hell, Estus Pirkle has decided that his last sermon didn't put enough terror in the hearts of Christians over going to hell so here's one that's literally all about how much hell sucks and how you definitely want to accept Jesus Christ into your heart so you don't go there. These fiery sermons are illustrated with scenes of trashy, gory violence that you definitely don't expect to find in movies meant for fragile, easily offended Christian people. They are completely weird and hilarious.

| 09: Vamp | 12 Jun 2023 | 02:05:50 | |
Bring Me The Axe kicks off its Pride 2023 series with a mostly unremarkable movie that remains in the horror movie memory thanks entirely to contributions from gay artists, the 1986 horror comedy Vamp, starring Chris Makepeace, Robert Rusler, and Grace Jones. In an attempt to make a story about two very good friends trying to wheel and deal their way into a college fraternity, writer/director, Richard Wenk, accidentally tips the movie into queer territory with a story about the unrequited love of one man for another. You'll also learn way more about Keith Haring and Robert Mapplethorpe than you were probably expecting to in a chat about how awesome Grace Jones is.

| 08: The House on Sorority Row | 29 May 2023 | 01:32:24 | |
This week Bring Me The Axe closes out their School's Out series, taking a look at the 1982 slasher picture, The House on Sorority Row, from director Mark Rosman, a hidden gem of the genre that remarkably passes the Bechdel Test. It's a movie about a prank gone wrong, secret medical experiments, and a girl who owns a 1970's style fuck van. The House on Sorority Row features soap opera stars, Kate McNeil and Eileen Davidson, as well as Lois Kelso and we enjoyed this movie a whole lot.

| 07: Final Exam | 15 May 2023 | 01:43:35 | |
This week, Bring Me The Axe kicks off their School's Out series, taking a look at the 1981 slasher also-ran, Final Exam, a movie that should be stuffed down the horror movie memory hole were it not for its one secret weapon, a weirdo nerd character named Radish and his ongoing series of bizarre bon mots. Final Exam can't decide if it's Animal House or Halloween and doesn't do a very good job of ripping off either of them. But we're going to ride this one out to see if our precious Radish can survive the killer's knife.

This week Bring Me The Axe breaks down one of the four werewolf movies released in 1981, Joe Dante's iconic The Howling. It's a wild ride made notable by its awesome special effects and dark comedic tone.

This week Bring Me The Axe takes a look at the 1977 Michael Winner clone of The Omen/Rosemary's Baby, The Sentinel. Ostensibly the most Catholic horror movie ever made, it's also about as paranoid as a horror movie can be. One damned soul, alone must stand watch over the gateway to Hell and Alison Parker is next in line to take on the mantle. Along the way, literally everyone will manipulate her toward their own ends.

This week, Bryan and Dave take a look at the arch riff on Whatever Happened To Baby Jane from 1981, Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker, starring Jimmy McNichol and Susan Tyrell. Campy doesn't even begin to cover this one.

In this inaugural episode, Bring Me The Axe dives headfirst into the sequel to the original Amityville Horror phenomenon, 1982's Amityville 2: The Possession. Perhaps the most Italian horror movie made in America at the time, it's a movie about a brother and sister and the really weird, totally inappropriate sexual chemistry between them. And then the haunted stuff happens.

| 99CR 42: The Wraith | 01 Sep 2025 | 01:42:02 | |
This week we dive headlong into one of the most baffling 80's video store hits, The Wraith, in which Charlie Sheen is a ghost or an alien or a ghost alien who gets revenge on the wily gang of Arizona cretins that murdered him by running them over with his magic ghost alien car. The Wraith is a lot of things. Good is not one of them but it has a certain ineffable charm that makes it tremendously fun to watch in spite of its story being positively incidental to the rest of the movie. It casts the widest possible net to remind you of movies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Death Wish 3, and The Road Warrior. Do you like cool cars? Do you like explosions? Do you like aliens, ghosts, or ghost aliens? Are you willing to let slide about a dozen totally unresolved plot points and completely ignore the fact that this movie leaves you with more questions than answers? You will probably love The Wraith. The soundtrack rules. Sheen seems completely unaware of the movie he's in. A pre-Twin Peaks Sherilyn Fenn is doing her best with what she has. Clint Howard gloriously answers our question: is it a wig? All this and more in our exhaustive breakdown of The Wraith from director Mike Marvin.

| 83: Nosferatu the Vampyre | 25 Aug 2025 | 01:46:08 | |
This week we're joined by Mark Anastasio, program director for the Coolidge Corner Cinema in Boston to cash checks and bite necks with a look at Werner Herzog's ambitious remake of the FW Murnau's 1922 not-Dracula adaptation, Nosferatu. Mark has first-hand experience with Herzog, having hosted him at the theater numerous times and regales us with stories that we've never heard about the man before. He also does a pretty good Werner Herzog impression. In this movie, Herzog is joined by his creative arch-frenemy Klaus Kinski in a unique existential twist on one of the genres most unimpeachable classics. Here, Count Dracula is bunched, broken old monster with no desire to live but no path toward death. He brings pestilence and horror from the old world to then-modern day Germany and meets his match with the one woman in the city with the knowledge and determination to destroy the beast. Featuring Herzog's stunning visual storytelling and a few utterly bizarre performances, Nosferatu is unlike any horror movie you've ever seen in spite of it being a story told and retold dozens of times since the dawn of film.

| 99CR 41: This House Possessed | 18 Aug 2025 | 01:49:57 | |
This week we're shaking off the despair of a nuclear war one-two punch and staying in the made-for-tv mode for something incredibly dumb. Where Threads and The Day After are significant television events, this week's movie is anything but. It's a baffling riff on both popular haunted house movies of the era and classic gothic horror but that's about as coherent as the vision gets. Everything that follows is an exhausting exercise in early 80's made-for-tv drivel. Parker Stevenson, fresh off his run as Frank Hardy in the Hardy Boys Mysteries is joined by Lisa Eilbacher, Joan Bennet, and Slim Pickens for a stay at a far-too-modern for gothic horror house in southern California. Either the house itself, or the extremely sophisticated security system is in love with Eilbacher's character. We can't really figure it out. Ultimately it doesn't matter because the charm lies in precisely how artless and strange this movie is. Also, you get a few musical numbers.

| 82: Threads | 11 Aug 2025 | 02:29:46 | |
This week we dive back into the breach for another run at nuclear Armageddon with a look at the BBC's 1984 answer to The Day After, Threads. Where The Day After was a bleak movie about the end of the world as a result of nuclear it was still very much a movie. Director Mick Jackson provided an aggressive, bludgeoning alternative that gives it to you with both barrels, an unflinching look at precisely how bad nuclear war will be, backed by data. In this movie you get the specifics. Threads tells the story of an escalating confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union in Iran that leads to World War 3 and the way that it affects the people of Sheffield, England through the eyes of young Ruth Beckett. In short, it'll be very, very bad. We will all die like dogs and it'll be painful and humiliating all the way to the end. Though not a conventional horror movie, Threads is very much appropriate for the genre.
