Episode 187: 'The Harbinger' (2022)/'Old Man' (2022)

from Adventures in Movies! · host Blake Heath/Nathaniel Muir, Regina Chavez

We start this week's show with talk about some of the most iconic names in horror. Dario Argento has made some of the most influential movies in the genre. But when was the last time he made something memorable? Is a return to the subgenre that made him famous that right idea? This leads to a talk about Lucio Fulci. We talk about some of our favorite scenes from the Italian horror maestro.We thought we finally had found a faith based horror movie to cover. Sure, it was completely by accident, but it is not something you come across everyday. As it turns outs, The Harbinger is not coming to Pureflix anytime soon. The film is about a couple who move to a small town. Once they arrive, their neighbors start dying mysteriously.The Harbinger  is an interesting film that begins and ends with some of the most family friendliest horror seen in years. One of us described it as "the Omen made by Hallmark". In between, is a thriller that would fit perfectly on Lifetime. But there are also some great jump scares and fantastic atmosphere.  It is not devoid of fun, but is it worth watching?Old Man is the exact opposite. Lucky McKee's latest movie also has twists, but its narrative is straight and to the point. There are no tonal shifts or over the top characters. We talk about Stephen Lang's amazing performance, the risk of telling such a personal story, and what we though about the ending.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
