Hokum (2026) - "The Actual Scariest Movie of 2026"
This week we dive into Hokum (2026), the latest eerie offering from Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity). Known for crafting slow-burn nightmares built on atmosphere and unease, McCarthy returns with a story steeped in tension, guilt, and creeping dread. We talk about McCarthy’s signature style—minimalist storytelling, suffocating tension, and the kind of scares that sneak up on you long after the lights go out. If you’re into slow-burn terror and folk horror this is one worth checking out.

Over Your Dead Body (2026) - "Love is a battlefield"
Spoiler Free: 0:00-22:10 Spoilers: 22:10-END This week we’re diving into Over Your Dead Body (2026), the darkly funny, ultra-violent horror-comedy starring Jason Segel and Samara Weaving as a married couple heading to a remote cabin—each secretly planning to kill the other. Directed by Jorma Taccone, this bloody remake of the Norwegian thriller The Trip turns relationship drama into full-blown carnage. We break down the film’s mix of savage gore, dark comedy, and chaotic energy, along with the chemistry between Segel and Weaving that helps sell the madness. From brutal practical effects to absurd twists and sharp one-liners, Over Your Dead Body leans hard into its over-the-top premise and mostly embraces the fun of it. Critics have praised its wild violence and crowd-pleasing chaos, even if some felt the second half loses a bit of the tight tension set up in the opening. Is it a clever relationship thriller disguised as a splatterfest, or just a gloriously messy excuse for people to scream and lose fingers? Either way, it’s a blast worth talking about.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2026) - "Evil Dead Albuquerque"
Spoiler Free: 0:00-24:18 Spoilers: 24:18-END This week we unwrap The Mummy, the latest horror reimagining from Lee Cronin (Evil Dead Rise). Stepping away from swashbuckling adventure and leaning fully into dread, this version promises a darker, more grounded take on one of horror’s oldest monsters. We dig into Cronin’s approach—how the film trades spectacle for atmosphere, body horror, and a creeping sense of inevitability. Does this new vision successfully resurrect the franchise as pure horror, or does it struggle under the weight of its legacy? We also talk performances, tone, and how it fits into the current wave of classic monster revivals. Whether you’re here for ancient curses, decaying terror, or just curious how The Mummy works without the action-adventure gloss, this episode has you covered.

Forbidden Fruits (2026) - "I'm begging you to go see this movie, babe"
Spoiler Free: 0:00-22:13 Spoilers: 22:13-END This week, we’re diving into Forbidden Fruits, the latest from Meredith Alloway — a film that trades traditional horror structure for something more intimate, unsettling, and emotionally raw. Blurring the line between desire and discomfort, Forbidden Fruits leans into atmosphere, character, and the slow erosion of control rather than conventional scares. We break down the film’s tone, performances, and thematic weight, focusing on how it explores identity, power dynamics, and sisterhood. It’s a movie that lingers in ambiguity, asking more than it answers, and leaving you to sit in its unease long after it ends.

We explore the film’s eerie tone, unforgettable imagery, and the many layers behind Donnie’s fractured reality.

Spoiler Free 0:00 - 19:16 Spoilers 19:16 - END This week, we’re diving into Undertone, a slow-building horror story that thrives on unease, atmosphere, and the feeling that something isn’t quite right beneath the surface. In this episode, we break down the film’s creeping tension, its use of silence and suggestion, and the way it gradually pulls the audience into its unsettling world. We talk performances, mood, and how Undertone leans into psychological dread rather than outright shocks.

Psycho Killer (2026) - SPOILER FREE REVIEW
No Spoilers: 0:00-23:45 Spoilers: 23:45-END This week, we’re taking a more critical look at Psycho Killer, a thriller that aims to burrow deep into the mind of a murderer but may not dig quite far enough. While the film leans heavily on grim atmosphere and bursts of violence, we debate whether it offers meaningful psychological insight or simply repackages familiar serial-killer tropes. From uneven pacing to performances that strain under a thin script, we unpack where the tension works — and where it feels manufactured. Dark and confrontational by design, Psycho Killer wants to disturb you… the question is whether it earns it.

We explore the film’s lush visuals, haunting score, and the strange — yet tender — love story at its center. From beautiful effects to its themes of otherness and empathy, we unpack why this genre-bending fantasy resonated so deeply with audiences. Is it horror? Is it romance? Is it both?

Spoilers Free: 0:00-33:18 Spoilers: 33:18-END This week, we’re diving into Send Help, the latest horror film from Sam Raimi, a director known for pushing characters to their breaking point with style and cruelty. Set against a stripped-down survival scenario, the film traps its characters in a tense fight against nature — and each other. We talk about Raimi’s direction, the escalating psychological pressure, and how his signature instincts shape the film’s tone without giving anything away. When hope is distant and help may never arrive, survival becomes its own kind of terror.

Lost Highway (1997) - "Happy Birthday David Lynch!" ft. 1001 by 1
This week, we’re cruising down David Lynch’s Lost Highway, a nightmarish neo-noir where identity fractures and reality refuses to stay put. We talk about the film’s hypnotic mood, unforgettable imagery, and that constant sense of dread that creeps in without warning. From the sound design to the performances, we dig into what makes Lost Highway such a disorienting, endlessly debatable experience.

Bonus Episode: The Plague (2025) - Mini Review
SPOILER FREE This week, we’re discussing The Plague from director Charlie Polinger — a stark, unsettling film that trades traditional horror beats for psychological erosion and moral rot. We take a critical look at Polinger’s restrained approach, the film’s oppressive atmosphere, and its focus on cruelty, power, and complicity. From its deliberate pacing to its emotionally distant lens, we debate whether The Plague’s commitment to bleak realism deepens the horror or keeps the audience at arm’s length. Uncomfortable, confrontational, and intentionally austere, this is a film that isn’t interested in entertaining you — it wants to sit with you and make you squirm.

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we embark on the quarantined islands and plunge back into the post-apocalyptic world with 28 Years Later (2025), the highly anticipated sequel from Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. Set 28 years after the Rage virus outbreak, this film reinvents the franchise with a tight narrative, sharp themes, and a hauntingly immersive atmosphere. We unpack the evolution of the infected. We explore Jodie Comer’s emotionally charged performance as Isla and how mother–son dynamics ground the story’s emotional core. We also dig into the film’s political undertones including, Brexit symbolism, Covid pandemic responses, gender roles, and the horror of war. With innovative iPhone-enhanced cinematography and a narrative that blends brutal action with thoughtful allegory, 28 Years Later sets the table for a new trilogy Is this revival a bold reinvention or a fragmented homage?

We take a critical look at the film’s approach to tension, its use (and misuse) of familiar genre tropes, and whether the central concept delivers real menace or just noise. From performances to pacing, we unpack what works, what doesn’t, and why Primate feels like a throwback in some ways — and undercooked in others.

While the movie leans heavily into grief, stillness, and atmosphere, we break down whether that approach deepens the horror or dulls its impact. We’ll talk pacing, performances, and the film’s reliance on familiar genre imagery, all without spoiling the story. Thoughtful and somber, We Bury the Dead has a lot on its mind — the question is whether it delivers enough dread to match its ambition.

Suspiria (1977) VS Suspiria (2018) - ft. Heather Stewart
This week, we step into the dance academy and compare two radically different nightmares: Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977) and Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria (2018). Same premise, same title — completely different approaches to horror. We break down how Argento’s original became a technicolor fever dream of sound, style, and supernatural menace, while the 2018 remake transforms the story into a slow-burn exploration of trauma, power, and political horror. From neon lighting and Goblin’s iconic score to muted palettes and oppressive dread, these films feel less like remake and original and more like alternate realities. Is one version definitively better, or do they succeed in entirely different ways? We discuss atmosphere, performances, themes, and why Suspiria remains one of the most fascinating examples of how horror can be reimagined without losing its soul.

Spoiler Free 0:00 - 22:13 Spoilers: 22:13 - END We’re heading back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza in this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's as we take on Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the video game–turned–horror franchise. With the animatronics returning and the mythology expanding, the film aims to build on the eerie foundation of the first movie while pushing the story deeper into the dark history of Freddy’s. We discuss how the sequel ups the tension, expands the lore for longtime fans, and leans harder into the unsettling atmosphere that made the games so iconic. Does Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 strike a better balance between jump scares and storytelling? And how well does it serve both newcomers and die-hard fans of the franchise?

Bonus Episode: Dust Bunny (2025) - Mini Review
For this bonus episode we dive into Dust Bunny, a dark fantasy horror film that takes a familiar childhood fear and twists it into something far more sinister. Blending creature horror with fairy-tale menace, the movie explores what happens when imaginary monsters refuse to stay imaginary. We talk about the film’s eerie visual style, its off-kilter tone, and how it walks the line between whimsy and nightmare. Does Dust Bunny successfully tap into primal fears, or does its ambition outweigh its bite? Either way, it’s a strange, memorable entry in modern horror that invites discussion. Join us as we unpack the scares, the symbolism, and where Dust Bunny lands in the ever-growing landscape of unconventional horror.

Cure (1997) - ft. The Revisionist's Almanac & 1001 by 1
This week, we’re digging into one of the most quietly terrifying films to ever come out of Japan: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure. Often called a cornerstone of the J-horror wave, Cure delivers dread not through jump scares, but through mood, ambiguity, and an unsettling sense that something unknowable is quietly rotting beneath the surface. We break down how the film uses hypnotic pacing, minimalist horror, and a killer who barely lifts a finger to create one of the most psychologically disturbing experiences of the ’90s. From its bleak portrayal of violence to its refusal to give clean answers, Cure feels less like a mystery and more like a slow infection of the mind — and we’re here to talk about why it works so well.

We’ll talk tone, performances, and how Keeper fits into his growing legacy of beautifully unsettling horror. If you’re into slow-burn terror with a sting, consider this your warning: something in this film is always watching… and always waiting.

Frankenstein (2025) - "Reborn or Reassembled?"
Spoiler Free: 0:00-38:00 Spoilers: 38:00-END In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's we dissect Frankenstein (2025), the long-gestating passion project from Guillermo del Toro. With a star-studded cast including Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, this gothic horror-sci-fi adaptation of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus hits theaters October 17 and streams on Netflix November 7. We explore the film’s breathtaking visuals, eloquent themes of creation and abandonment, and standout performance by Elordi that critics agree breathes tragic humanism into a classic monster. But we also question whether the film’s extended runtime, tonal heaviness, and narrative deviations from the novel carry the emotional weight they promise—or if the spectacle overshadows the story. With tension between expectations and delivery, this episode asks: is Frankenstein reborn, or merely reassembled?

Bone Lake (2025) - "More like Bone Lame"
SPOILER FREE: 0:00-21:26 SPOILERS: 21:26-END This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a dive into Bone Lake (2025), the latest erotic horror-thriller from Mercedes Bryce Morgan. What starts as a steamy double-date at a remote lake house quickly devolves into a tangled web of deceit, seduction, and violence—but despite its promising setup, Bone Lake often struggles to find real depth beneath the surface. We talk about the film’s stylish cinematography and strong performances, but also the uneven pacing, repetitive tension beats, and third-act chaos that feels more confusing than cathartic. For a story that wants to explore power, desire, and danger, it sometimes mistakes atmosphere for substance. Still, there’s something to admire in its ambition: a small-scale horror about human impulses and the monsters they create. Bone Lake may not make a splash, but it leaves a ripple worth talking about.
