Episode 210: 'Consecration' (2023)/'Firestarter' (2022)
from Adventures in Movies! · host Blake Heath/Nathaniel Muir
There was lots of big movie news this week, highlighted by one of our favorite punching bags from a few years back. AMC unveiled a new ticket price plan and naturally we are...indifferent about it? We talk about live events versus movie theaters and the performances of 80 for Brady and Knock at the Cabin.Consecration has everything needed for a discomforting horror film. The poster and images released have been downright frightening, the Scottish location gives the proper gloomy atmosphere, and the acting is spot on. Then comes the story. A suspicious murder that takes place in a creepy abbey has loads of potential.Instead, the film is one of the most frustrating we have ever talked about. It looks good and the cast do a fine job, but there is just too much going on. What starts as a fishy murder soon involves, the Crusades, half-ass attempts at folk horror, kids in cages, and nonsensical visits to prisons. At least the nuns laying face down in church looked cool.Firestarter was one of the worst received movies of 2022. It recently reentered the conversation when its young start was nominated for a Razzie. How could we not watch it? We were expecting an awful movie filled with terrible performances. Is the remake as bad as everyone says? And what does Stranger Things have to do with it?Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.

What this episode covers
We surprised ourselves this week as we talk about a movie with beautiful camerawork, shocking imagery, and an interesting premise and one of the most maligned movies of last year. One of them left us upset and confused while the other was a fun watch that had some flaws. We're too old to be contrarians for the sake of it, so all of our opinions are honest.
