VOIDTOBER ENDS.. and we promise we won't try to introduce a new character that can be thrown over a bridge by some kids and then have that same guy beat up a decades long scary legend like he's a joke. No.. We will not force something like that into our episode. We will however bring you a great time filled with GOOD ideas and OSCAR WORTHY jokes that will permeate your final days of Halloween with joy and splendor. By reviewing a Halloween CLASSIC...

It's time to jump into some French Horror of the Extreme variety and compare it to its United States Remake. The Court is in session for Martyrs (2008) v. Martyrs (2015). Though the movie was filmed in Canada the first film is considered a French film that has taken the film industry by storm when it released for being shocking and hard to watch. About a girl named Lucie who escapes her torturing kidnappers and exacts her revenge on the those who tormented her as a child with a friend that is willing to got to hell for her. It's a rough film for some, but we actually break it all down and Alex gets deep into the metaphors that the film might have within its depravity. Then we take on the US remake/re imagining that was one of the earlier films of Blumhouse and subsequently one of Jason Blum’s biggest regrets on film. See what we thought of both and why. In this glorious showdown! JOIN US!
Pheewww this week is a doozy! Not only do we have some odd films for you, but we have one of the darkest HAPPY MONDAY segments we have done. Alex step past the point of taste (per usual) on this one. Then we jump into our reviews with some random Indie Sci-Fi Horror movies from Amazon Prime.. THE DARK LURKING (2009) about a distant future when an underground bunker is researching a dark secret dealing with gene splicing that ends up turning the entire underground population into grotesque creatures. It's up to an extraction team to pull the survivors out to safety before it's too late. Chock full of gore, bad dubbing and nods to other.. better films. Then we jump into a Sci-Fi Horror Anthology that is super budget called FUTURE FEAR (2021). Unlike the cover the story involves some sort of team of explorers from the future who find an ancient tome similar to the Necronomicon only with stories from current times about the future. It's chock full of homemade film making that is creative and a little too ambitious for it's budget. But we do our best.
We get into a few NEW Indie Supernatural films that came out within the last year. One demonic one and one cursed ghost one. First we review SURROGATE (2022) A fairly unique film that is all the way from Australia about a mother who is haunted by something that has taken over her family. Then we jump into another review with THE ACCURSED (2022) which is from the Director of Willy's Wonderland. This time trying his hand at Demonic horror. When a girls mother passes she is faced with getting a job caretaking for another woman in a coma with a very dark and connected past. IT's much darker than she would ever consider. JOIN US! This week on BTV for these new films. Including Trivia and our thoughts.
This week we decided to check out some micro budget Horror Comedies that you can watch FREE! That's right, this week is all about Tumbleweeds and Vampires! We kick things off with a short talk about what we've been up to and Alex tells a few Bus stories.

Which is a movie about 2 sisters and one of them turns into a vampire. The family helps feed her until they can no longer handle the mayhem. It's a fun wild episode this week. With loads of derailing and loads of appreciation for super indie films. JOIN US!
This week on BTV we went for a pair of movies about buddy cops, Aliens & terrible love stories. That's right we are talking about The Hidden Franchise. Some may not even know this, but there was an actual sequel to the film THE HIDDEN (1987). The first movie stars Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Showgirls) Who is a "FBI" agent alien named Gallagher. He is hunting down a criminal alien that is hellbent on using bodies for their little joyride adventures in murder and excess. He teams up with Officer Beck for fun and antics on the streets of LA! Then we review the sequel that exchanges buddy cops to a love story with ravers & of course those pesky aliens. Turns out the alien that got exploded laid eggs and its up to Gallagher’s alien hunting back up to stop the crazed alien disaster from killing and galivanting again while he falls in love with the Officer Becks daughter 15 years later. We packed this episode with a lot of bad humor and laughs. JOIN US!
This week we picked a couple of Hong Kong Horror movies to watch involving guards, a haunted building of some sort and ghosts! One of these gets our coveted label WEIRD AF WONDER.

Which is story time with Christina telling us some crushing weird news in the world to get your week started. That's right it's zombie time with his last two films in fact. If you don't know Bruno, he was the rip off king! He would put many scenes from other movies or homages in his films. We talk about his life and these two movies. Starting with ISLAND OF THE LIVING DEAD (2006) where a group of treasure hunters get surround by fog and get ship wrecked on a island filled with the living dead. Not just zombies either.
