This episode continues our "Jumpscare! goes to the movies" month with one neither of us had seen before Anguish, from 1987. 

*SPOILER WARNING*

We do spoil this movie, it’s hard to discuss it without spoiling it  

Anguish is a disturbing horror film that explores the power of suggestion and the dark side of human nature. It's a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and those seeking a truly unsettling cinematic experience.

This week we continue our coverage of films we saw at the Overlook Film Festival with, I Saw The TV Glow.

The film, directed by Jane Schoenbrun, takes us on a journey with Owen, a suburban teenager struggling with self-discovery. His world is upended when a classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show called "The Pink Opaque."

As Owen dives deeper into the world of "The Pink Opaque," the lines between reality and the show begin to blur. The film masterfully utilizes the eerie glow of television to create a sense of unease, leaving you questioning what's real and what's emanating from the screen.

The performances are equally captivating, with Justice Smith delivering a nuanced portrayal of Owen's growing obsession and Brigette Lundy-Paine captivating as the enigmatic Maddy, who introduces him to the show.

Beware, this film isn't for the faint of heart. Schoenbrun's masterful direction and unsettling visuals will leave you with a lingering sense of dread long after the credits roll.
