Episode 194: Fantastic French Thrillers w/ Not Your Final Girl

Deep Fear is a French-Belgium co-production about three friends who are spending one last day together. One of them is going into the military the next day, so they want this day to be a special one. They decide to take a trip through the Paris catacombs. What is an exciting idea on the surface turns into their worst nightmares.Unsurprisingly, there are lots of tight moments that give a feeling of claustrophobia. While Aril enjoys cave horror, Blake does not like the feeling of getting caught in closed quarters. But did Deep Fear do enough to make either of them feel anything? We also talk about whether the horror aspects worked and the surprising lack of a sense of urgency.Despite its flaws, Deep Fear does a lot of things right. The setting is great and the film does a great job with lighting and shadows. The characters are well-written and there is great attention to detail. Do the pros outweigh the cons or were we all left to disappointed by the narrative?Some Like it Rare also struck a chord with two of us. Nathaniel cannot stand cannibal movies (Thanks, Cannibal Holocaust) while Candance really enjoys them. But what happens when a cannibal movie subverts expectations and becomes more about people staying together than eating each other?The four of us also debate the film's dark humor, discuss why it is an anti-message movie, and talk about the decision-making of the characters. Since it is a cannibal movie, we also wonder if human flesh tastes good. Plus, a conversation on actually being grossed out versus thinking about it.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
