Messed Up Movies

Eli Roth's Ice Cream Man promised an unrated throwback packed with gore, mayhem and ice cream-fueled murder. What arrived is one of the most baffling and creatively bankrupt horror releases we have seen in years.
On New Movie Monday, Griffey, Heath and Sam dig into a movie apparently made for children, yet far too grotesque for children to watch. We discuss its personality-free villain, juvenile humor, incoherent characters, recycled horror imagery and a finale involving a basement freezer, a necromancer and one extremely convenient grave.
Then the debate gets heated as we confront the movie's use of generative AI, Roth's misleading explanation and whether this disastrous launch betrays everything The Horror Section claimed it would represent.
Is Ice Cream Man merely a terrible movie, or a warning about where cynical, shortcut-driven horror is headed? We disagree about Roth's intentions, but not the result: this thing is putrid.

#NewMovieMonday

What makes a great remake? Faithfully honoring the original, completely reinventing it, or improving it so dramatically that the first movie becomes obsolete?
This week, Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia draft the most messed-up movie remakes of all time. With The Thing and The Ring banned from competition, the board is wide open for body horror, slashers, alien invasions, vampires, psychosexual thrillers and one deeply disturbing Lindsay Lohan family comedy.
Expect heated arguments over The Fly, Evil Dead, The Hills Have Eyes, Rob Zombie's Halloween, Nosferatu, Dredd, Friday the 13th and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, plus a compelling case for why The Parent Trap secretly qualifies as horror.
Along the way, we thirst over Judge Judy, confuse Harry Styles with the Jonas Brothers, learn about Sam's fixation on powerful calves and discover Martin Scorsese's forgotten masterpiece, Infernal Desires.
Whose final lineup wins the draft? Vote in the comments!

Today Griffey and Dandino clock in and punch out rats in Graveyard Shift. They discuss this interesting era in Stephen King on screen adaptaions, the pure insanity of the cast that chews scenery more than rats do wool, and what in the name of nightmare evolution is the Rat King at the end of the film. This is an often over-looked Messed Up Movie. 
Synopsis: The owner of an ancient mill hires a drifter to rid the basement of rats.
Starring: David Andrews, Kelly Wolf, Stephen Macht, Andrew Divoff, Brad Dourif
Directed by Ralph S. Singleton

Shudder's new original horror film SACCHARINE left us feeling overfed, bloated and ultimately malnurished.
After medical student Hannah begins making her own diet pills from a cadaver, she rapidly loses weight while developing an uncontrollable hunger. Unfortunately, she also attracts the attention of the very large, very angry ghost whose remains she has been consuming.
On this New Movie Monday, Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia dig into Natalie Erika James' ambitious body-horror movie. We discuss its grotesque eating sequences, striking direction, body-image themes, Midori Francis' lead performance and an absolutely baffling final scene.
Is SACCHARINE a bold personal horror film about addiction, appetite and self-loathing? Is it a beautifully made movie with far too many ideas? And what the hell was that ending supposed to mean?
Watch SACCHARINE now on Shudder, then join us for the full spoiler discussion.

The 1990s gave us meta-slashers, satanic spaceships, exploding hookers, body-swapping action heroes, teenage witches and enough Nicolas Cage insanity to sustain an entire decade.
Griffey, Heath, Sam, Sophia and Nick battle to assemble the ultimate team of messed up movies from the '90s. Scream, Event Horizon, Frankenhooker, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, The Craft, Candyman, Face/Off, 12 Monkeys and Hocus Pocus are only the beginning.
Was the '90s actually an underrated horror decade? Is Event Horizon secretly a Warhammer movie? Does Hocus Pocus belong beside Fight Club? And which combatant walks away with the strongest four-film lineup?
Watch the episode, examine the evidence and tell us who won the draft in the comments.
