RED ROOMS is not about a child murderer. RED ROOMS is not about his trial, wherein I learn he livestreamed these murders on the dark web for money. RED ROOMS isn't even about the wailing of one of the victims' mothers, who runs out of the room after ... more

During this 31 Days of Halloween series, I've viewed things that would make Isaac Newton crawl back into his mother's womb. Thankfully, one of those isn't Robert Eggers' crack at NOSFERATU, released in 2024.

DELIVER US FROM EVIL occupies an intriguing crossroads in genre film: police procedurals with demonic horror. I've read Scott Derrickson's 2014 film described as a blend of SEVEN and THE EXORCIST, which is accurate.

  • Love the Perspective Here!

    Your podcast is absolutely incredible, about time we got something that doesn’t regurgitate every other critics review!

    Daniel is energetic and has some solid energy to him.

    Seriously, really good stuff!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

278. Interview | MOCKBUSTER Director Anthony Frith
Q: Has that just been a thing for you, this willingness to dive into ideas without overthinking, and has it changed with experience?
There's always anxiety, but over time you learn to balance ambition with practicality, recognizing that chasing perfect outcomes is less important than making something you're proud of and can finish.
278. Interview | MOCKBUSTER Director Anthony Frith
Q: Is that something that is taken explicitly as advice from Herzog, or is that just the vibe that you feel?
I actually adopted the approach before meeting Herzog, having already made a documentary with Matt Farley, and I enjoy embedding myself in the subject to capture a more authentic, cinematic, gonzo style.
274. Interview | THIS ORDINARY THING Director Nick Davis
Q: Going into this documentary, what questions did you have that you were hoping to answer?
I wanted to understand why ordinary people took extraordinary risks, what motivated them, and whether those motivations would hold up under any similar pressure today, while also figuring out how to translate those testimonies into a living, cinematic experience with actors voicing the transcripts.
263. INTERVIEW | PAPERTOWN Director Jeremy Seifert (Mountainfilm Festival 2026)
Q: How did you divide labor among six filmmakers, given the tight three-month initial window?
They focused on listening and capturing authentic moments, sharing equipment and roles, with a flexible approach to editing to shape the story rather than forcing a predetermined narrative.
263. INTERVIEW | PAPERTOWN Director Jeremy Seifert (Mountainfilm Festival 2026)
Q: At what point do you decide it's time to make a documentary?
The team saw a timely, unfolding story in Canton and chose to document it from the ground up, joining the town as the mill faced closure and committing to living through the moment with the people.
