(Explicit) What’s so scary about scary movies? Three filmmaker friends dissect horror films to uncover their deeper meanings and cultural influences. We’ll analyze and review your favorite frights: from classic monsters to newer chills; popcorn blockbusters to indie darlings; B-movie slashers to paranormal haunts; and grindhouse gore to psychological thrillers.
