ep 24: Westworld - 3x07 "Passed Pawn"

Crime reporter John Jones (Joel McCrea) is turning in nothing but dull copy. His editor, unhappy with his work, hopes a change of scenery will be the thing Jones needs to get back on track. Re-assigned to Europe as a foreign correspondent, Jones is very much out of his element. When he stumbles on a spy ring, he feels ill-equipped to unravel the truth alone and he seeks help from a beautiful politician's daughter (Laraine Day) and an urbane English journalist (George Sanders).

ep 23: Foreign Correspondent (WE ARE BACK)

Greed and class discrimination threaten the newly formed symbiotic relationship between the wealthy Park family and the destitute Kim clan.

ep 22: Parasite

In a world where zombies form the majority of the population, the remaining humans build a feudal society away from the undead. Ruthless Paul Kaufman (Dennis Hopper) rules and protects this microcosm but enforces painful class distinctions. Second-in-command Cholo DeMora (John Leguizamo) attempts to lead a secret rebellion against Kaufman's tyranny, but when the zombies begin to evolve, the survivors must discover a way to protect themselves from a zombie hoard that can learn and adapt.

ep 21: Land of the Dead

 To conduct his humanitarian research, a doctor in Edinburgh needs a constant supply of fresh corpses—provided by his evil henchman (Karloff), who steals bodies from the graveyard. But when the cemetery runs short, the grave robber turns to murder.

ep 20: The Body Snatcher

 ISLE OF THE DEAD conjures a mood of steadily rising claustrophobic dread as it circles around one of producer Val Lewton’s favorite themes: the relentless human drive toward death.

The first of the horror films producer Val Lewton made for RKO Pictures redefined the genre by leaving its most frightening terrors to its audience’s imagination.

Brian De Palma’s first foray into horror voyeurism is a stunning amalgam of split-screen effects, bloody birthday cakes, and a chilling score by frequent Alfred Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Herrmann.

ep 16: Sisters

That's OK. I didn't expect thanks. -- Tom Ripley, wiping spit from his face Tom Ripley is fascinating in the sense that a snake is fascinating. He can kill you, but he will not take it personally and neither should you.   - Roger Ebert

ep 11: Once Upon a Time In Hollywood

On this week's episode of Crifearion we discuss a film that is part Full Metal Jacket and part Stand By Me.    Bernhard Wicki’s astonishing The Bridge was the first major antiwar film to come out of Germany after World War II, as well as the nation’s first postwar film to be widely shown internationally, even securing an Oscar nomination.    Are you ready to find out what happens when the most important struggle of your life takes place in the least important place you can imagine? This is Crifearion.
