This week, we’re diving into Undertone, a slow-building horror story that thrives on unease, atmosphere, and the feeling that something isn’t quite right beneath the surface. In this episode, we break down the film’s creeping tension, its use of silence and suggestion, and the way it gradually pulls the audience into its unsettling world. We talk performances, mood, and how Undertone...

This week, we’re discussing The Bride!, a bold new reimagining of the classic Bride of Frankenstein story. Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the film brings a stylish, modern energy to the iconic monster myth. We talk about the film’s gothic aesthetic, its performances, and how this version reframes the Bride as more than just a creation — but a force of her own. Join us as we break down h...

This week we are sitting down with Elijah J. Alvarez, the writer and director of the upcoming horror movie "Dorothy: The Haunting of Oz", inspired by The Wizard of Oz.

Be on the look out for the film coming later this year!

This week, we’re taking a more critical look at Psycho Killer, a thriller that aims to burrow deep into the mind of a murderer but may not dig quite far enough. While the film leans heavily on grim atmosphere and bursts of violence, we debate whether it offers meaningful psychological insight or simply repackages familiar serial-killer tropes. From uneven pacing to performances that str...

This week, we’re taking a swim in The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro’s dark fairy tale that blends Cold War paranoia, creature-feature horror, and sweeping romance. We explore the film’s lush visuals, haunting score, and the strange — yet tender — love story at its center.

This week, we’re diving into Send Help, the latest horror film from Sam Raimi, a director known for pushing characters to their breaking point with style and cruelty. Set against a stripped-down survival scenario, the film traps its characters in a tense fight against nature — and each other. We talk about Raimi’s direction, the escalating psychological pressure, and how his signature...

This week, we’re cruising down David Lynch’s Lost Highway, a nightmarish neo-noir where identity fractures and reality refuses to stay put. We talk about the film’s hypnotic mood, unforgettable imagery, and that constant sense of dread that creeps in without warning. From the sound design to the performances, we dig into what makes Lost Highway such a disorienting, endlessly debatable experience. No easy answers here — just vibes, ...

This week, we’re diving into 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, the next chapter in the iconic infected saga. From its grim atmosphere to its ambitious world-building, we talk about what makes this entry an exciting evolution of the franchise and how it keeps the spirit of 28 Days Later alive while pushing the story in new directions. The rage may have faded, but the nightmare is far from over.

We are joined by Dan from Reel Takes.

This week, we’re discussing The Plague from director Charlie Polinger — a stark, unsettling film that trades traditional horror beats for psychological erosion and moral rot. We take a critical look at Polinger’s restrained approach, the film’s oppressive atmosphere, and its focus on cruelty, power, and complicity. From its deliberate pacing to its emotionally distant lens, we debate whether The Plague’s commitment t...

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we embark on the quarantined islands and plunge back into the post-apocalyptic world with 28 Years Later (2025), the highly anticipated sequel from Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. Set 28 years after the Rage virus outbreak, this film reinvents the franchise with a tight narrative, sharp themes, and a hauntingly immersive a...

This week, we’re breaking down Primate, a creature-feature that leans hard into animal instinct and human arrogance. We take a critical look at the film’s approach to tension, its use (and misuse) of familiar genre tropes, and whether the central concept delivers real menace or just noise. From performances to pacing, we unpack what works, what doesn’t, and why Primate feels like a throwback in some ways — and undercooked in others...

For this bonus episode we take a look at We Bury the Dead, a restrained post-apocalyptic horror film that aims for emotional weight over visceral thrills. While the movie leans heavily into grief, stillness, and atmosphere, we break down whether that approach deepens the horror or dulls its impact. We’ll talk pacing, performances, and the film’s reliance on familiar genre imagery, all without spoiling the story. Thoughtful and somb...
