417: Suwīto Hōmu a.k.a. Sweet Home [1989] Movie Dicussion

An obscure Japanese film that (roundabout-ly?) inspired one of the most popular horror video game franchises understandably has Jamie salivating this week on SFFCH. Indeed, everyone sees the potential that Sweet Home emanates and after watching it we truly think we have found something unique for a supernatural Japanese Horror film: boring-ness. Though there is still plenty of general lunacy for us to tackle, including: possessions, glass-bending musical interludes, fantastically protracted people-melting effects, an insanely fun monster puppet and realising that it all boils down to dead babies in these types of films.

416: Witchfinder General [1968] Movie Discussion

It’s finally time to scrutinize and interrogate our first Vincent Price film and it’s one where he, as a 50-something year old man, is playing a real historical figure in his 20s. Movie magic, aye?! Fair play to him though, it’s a cracking performance. We all thought Witchfinder General was going to be a campy horror/thriller à la Hammer Horror movies and other Vincent Price B-Movies, but we are (pleasantly?) surprised by how grounded and unflinching a portrayal of this insane time period it is. So come and listen to our discussion where: no-one can remember the word ‘cavalier’, someone describes the film as ‘an hour and a half of screaming’, we realise everyone in the English Civil War were just right bellends and we appreciate the plethora of fashionable buckles and doilies.

415: Wanted [2008] Movie Discussion

Yes, we know it’s really dumb. Yes, we know it’s pretty ‘out there’ and yes, we know that none of this should really work, but the planets and stars have really aligned to make Wanted an incredibly entertaining experience that we all get a kick out of here at at SFFCH. So come and listen as we finally gel with director Timur Bekmambetov’s unique style of craziness in a movie involving: bullet bending, supernatural weaving machinery, Lazarus pits, magical assassins, skyscraper vaulting, rat bombs and so, SO much more!

414: Down Periscope [1996] Movie Discussion

Well, this aint our first submarine movie so we’ll dispense with the usual jokes about things being long and hard and full of seamen. Shame this movie doesn’t dispense with the poor humour. You don’t see Kelsey Grammer in movies much, do you? Not unless he’s hairy and blue anyways. Down Periscope is a movie we have all seen before here at Spoiler Filled and we don’t remember a thing about it. And that’s saying something considering it ends with a Village People music video. Enjoy?
