Considering Horror Cinema Ep. 006: Taken Children - The Prodigy (2019), The Curse of La Llorona (2019), The Head Hunter (2019)

Thanks to a very generous donation by Sean Smith and an inspiring voicemail from Greg "The Gray Man" Bensch, here is an impromptu BONUS episode of Considering Horror Cinema. I am your late-night Horror host, Jay of the Dead, and I have three, brand-new 2019 Horror movies to review for you. Coincidentally, all three films share a common theme of "Taken Children." That wasn't planned. It just happened. During Episode 006, I discuss a notable film that's a must-see Horror flick this year called The Head Hunter (2019). And I bring you reviews of the wide theater releases, The Prodigy(2019) and The Curse of La Llorona (2019). For those who join me to consider some Horror cinema, I delve into a few important distinctions. During these reviews I explore the creation of monsters. I also compare and contrast the monstrous motivations of Pamela Voorhees versus those of La Llorona (and why the latter is a problematic character). We'll also listen to The Gray Man's voicemail and talk about some 1980s Horror VHS box art. If you dig Horror film criticism, I hope you'll join me! Thanks for listening. This episode is dedicated to Sean Smith and "The Gray Man," Greg Bensch. Remember, feel free to call my new voicemail number at (801) 215-9704 or email me at [email protected] or post a comment. Be sure to join me for my two upcoming episodes — January through April 2019 recap, as well as another huge, long-form Horror episode where you'll get tons of Horror movie reviews — a "Horror movie blitz"!
