Episode 20 — Spiral

Horror films are best known for scaring audiences with gruesome scares or terrifying monsters but the horror genre has also been able to simultaneously tackle a lot of societal issues. Whether that’s facing the real life horror of prejudice and racism in films such as “Get Out” and “Candyman” or the class war displayed in movies like “Society” or “The People Under the Stairs,” horror films are often times overlooked for just how much they deal with serious, real world issues. In 2019, director Kurtis David Harder along with screenwriters Colin Minihan and John Poliquin examined the atrocities that befall a gay couple moving into rural suburbia when their neighbors are doing more than just glaring at them through open windows but as the occurrences start to mount, one man is left questioning if what he’s seeing is real or if he’s just haunted by a tragic incident from his past. In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to travel back to 1995, turn on our dial up internet and examine the 2019 Canadian horror film called “Spiral”…  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/
