Episode 31 — Jakob's Wife

In 2015, horror icon Barbara Crampton was handed a script written by Mark Steensland that tackled issues often ignored in filmmaking. He had written a movie that focused on “a woman in the second stage of life, battling against a relationship that feels restrictive.” The result was a movie that took home the top prize at Shriekfest, a horror film festival in Los Angeles. After Crampton received the script, she spent the better part of the next five years trying to make the movie a reality after she connected to the material on a much deeper level after her own career hit a roadblock simply because she was no longer a young ingenue but instead a woman in her 30s. The story follows the wife of a small town minister, who seemingly gets lost in his shadow until an encounter with a vampire transforms her into a powerful new woman with an insatiable appetite for blood. In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to visit the local mill and admit that things are getting really effed up as we review the 2021 horror film “Jakob’s Wife”…  Music courtesy of Andrew Scott Bell and Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio For more Rewind of the Living Dead, visit our website or follow on social media:https://www.rewindofthelivingdead.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/rewindofdeadFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rewindoflivingdeadInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rewindoflivingdead/
