Up first is Kingdom Of The Spiders. We talk about how the movie is ridiculous and horribly overacted but still a lot of fun to watch, and how a bad movie made earnestly still has some value.

We talk about how the movie relies heavily on “less is more” when it comes to showing tarantulas attacking people. We then spend a long amount of time discussing the various absurd moments in the film, and briefly talk about the creepy performance of William Shatner.

Up next is Visiting Hours. We discuss our history with the film, with both of us sort of not really catching it a horrorthon. We talk about some of the more creative cinematography in the film, and the use of the unique architecture of the hospital. We talk about the strange dreamlike feel of much of the film.

We discuss the films unique approach to a message about feminism mixed with a film that wants to be very ‘grindhouse’ and exploitive, while also the fact the film doesn’t have an overt amount of blood.

The films use of a clear misogynist as a villain while including several more benevolent male characters who also display more subtle signs of misogyny is discussed.

>We talk about the film loses some of its focus at one point when it shifts emphasis away from the initial protagonist. We talk at length about Michael Ironside’s performance and the intensity he brings to the film, and how the film may have brought a realistic depiction of serial killers without realizing it.
