Episode 186: 'Honeycomb' (2022)/'Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made' (2018)
from Adventures in Movies! · host Blake Heath/Nathaniel Muir
Hulu has had a good year in regards to genre films. Fresh impressed many critics and audiences while Prey breathed new life into the Predator franchise. Can it do the same for Hellraiser? We also talk about the iconic stature of Pinhead versus the franchise he stars in. We also try to think of the scariest moments in horror movie history. Naturally, with a list like this there are surprises.Coming of age and horror go together very well. Honeycomb takes elements from many movies to tell its story of five girls who are about to become adults. The DIY nature of the film will definitely make it a hard sell for mainstream audiences, but there is a strong story to be found. The question becomes, is it enough? We talk about the indie film's tone, its reliance on being realistic, and make some strange comparisons.Antrum: The Deadliest Film Ever Made is a fun idea. The horror mockumentary is about a cursed film that leads to misfortune for anyone who watches it. Only one print remains in existence and the filmmakers have it. What happens when they watch the film? And is it something you dare watch?Going the movie within a movie route is always risky and Antrum does so in the most straightforward way possible. Was it a good idea to have a documentary and show the full film? We also talk about the actual cursed film. There is some creepy imagery, awesome music, and atmospheric folk horror tropes. So why make the gimmicky wraparound?As a reminder, check out our episodes about A Black Rift Begins to Yawn and 18 to Life.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
