    The Ugly Stepsister Review: A Twisted Body Horror Cinderella Story

    Jason and Rachel review The Ugly Stepsister, a Norwegian body horror take on Cinderella now streaming on Hulu. Told from the perspective of Elvira, the eldest stepsister, the movie turns the familiar fairy tale into a grotesque nightmare about beauty standards, class, desperation, and what women are forced to do to survive in a world built around male approval. We talk body horror, Brothers Grimm fairy tales, the tapeworm scene, eyelash sewing, foot mutilation, sound design, feminist horror, and why this worked for us way more than The Substance.

    Obsession Review: Is This the Best Horror Movie of 2026?

    Jason and Rachel review Obsession, the breakout horror hit from writer-director Curry Barker. The movie follows Bear, a hopeless romantic who uses the mysterious “One Wish Willow” to make his crush love him — only to discover that getting exactly what you want can be an absolute nightmare. We talk about the movie’s huge word-of-mouth success, its TIFF Midnight Madness buzz, Curry Barker’s horror-comedy style, Andy Richter, toxic longing, magical consent nightmares, and why Jason is already calling this one of the best movies of the year.

    Backrooms Review: A24, Kane Pixels & the Future of Horror

    Jason and Rachel enter the Backrooms for a spoiler-filled review of A24’s new horror movie from Kane Parsons, the creator behind the viral Kane Pixels YouTube series. We talk creepypasta, no-clipping, liminal spaces, yellow wallpaper, internet horror, YouTube filmmakers breaking into Hollywood, and whether Backrooms works as a full-length movie or should have stayed a terrifying online mystery. Is it scary? Is it frustrating? Is it the next evolution of horror? We get lost in all of it. Spoilers for Backrooms. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
