In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, we dive headfirst into the chaos of Deadstream (2022), a found-footage horror-comedy that turns livestreaming into a literal fight for survival. When disgraced YouTuber Shawn Ruddy locks himself in a haunted house to win back his fans, he quickly learns that views aren't worth dying for—and that ghosts don’t care about subscriber counts.

Danielle’s brand is all about wellness and positivity—but when her old high school friends come knocking, so do the skeletons in her influencer closet. This week on Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan kick off July’s “Influencers” theme with New Year, New You, a twisted take on curated identities, performative friendships, and how fast a vision board can turn into a crime scene.

We’re breaking down every scene, from the #S...

In this episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan dive into Exhibit A (2007), a chilling found-footage drama that slowly unravels the psychological breakdown of a suburban father. Filmed like a home video gone horribly wrong, this under-the-radar British horror story delivers a terrifyingly intimate look at domestic collapse.

How does the film build tension with such a slow burn? Why does the father's descent feel...

What’s more terrifying than a killer dad? A killer dad who thinks he’s the perfect one. This week, we’re diving into The Stepfather (1987), where suburban bliss gets a bloody wake-up call. Jerry Blake just wants the perfect family—but if they disappoint him, he’ll just… start over.

Join Talon and Dan as they break down the red flags, the creepy charm, and the sheer horror of a man who takes “father figure” way too seriously. It’s pa...

This week, we’re diving into The Clovehitch Killer (2018), a slow-burn psychological thriller about a teenage boy who starts to suspect that his all-American dad might be hiding something... like a history of murder. We talk about the film’s eerie tone, the impact of silence and suggestion, and how this movie flips the script on the classic serial killer narrative. Dan has opinions about family loyalty, and Talon has questions—lots...

This week, we're kicking off our June theme, Dads Are Deadly, with Frailty (2001)—a twisted tale of faith, family, and a whole lot of murder. Is Dad a demon-slaying prophet on a mission from God… or just a dangerous man with a rusty pipe and a warped sense of purpose?

Talon and Dan dive into the movie’s religious undertones, that infamous “God Pipe,” and narration that is "alright, alright, alright." There’s suspense, ...

We’re back with Part 2 of our Fever Lake breakdown, because one episode simply wasn’t enough to capture the full ridiculousness of this straight-to-video disaster.

In this final installment, Talon and Dan push through the film's second half,-where answers are vague, the curse is still barely explained, and the ending leaves us wondering why we didn’t just turn the boat around. But hey, at least we all survived. Barely.

It’s another trip to the lake… and this one might make Lake of Death look like a masterpiece. In Part 1 of our Fever Lake breakdown, Talon and Dan wade into the shallow, murky waters of this 1997 straight-to-video horror movie starring—yes, that's actually Mario Lopez and Corey Haim.

We had so much to say about this movie—mostly because it's just that awful—that we had to split the episode into two parts. From confusing psyc...

This week, we explore Lake of Death (2019), a Norwegian horror film steeped in atmosphere, grief, and a sibling relationship that had us raising our eyebrows more than once. When Lillian returns to her family cabin after her twin brother's mysterious death, strange visions and even stranger behavior start to unravel everyone around her.

We dig into the folklore, the fog, and the psychological unraveling—while also trying to figure o...

In this week’s episode of Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan head to the English countryside for a weekend retreat that turns into an all-out nightmare. Lake Eden (2008) serves up a chilling reminder that sometimes the real monsters aren’t lurking in the woods—they’re sitting at the next picnic table.

We break down this brutal thriller that shocked audiences with its gut-punch realism and disturbing take on societal decay...

This week we wade into Lake Mungo (2008), a somber Australian mockumentary that technically has a ghost, but mostly just wants to bum you out. When 16-year-old Alice drowns, her family starts experiencing spooky occurrences—and we start questioning how many slow zooms one film really needs.

We talk about grief, fakeouts, emotional manipulation, and whether the twist landed or just kind of... floated there. Some people call it one of...

Surprise! With five Tuesdays this April, we’re dropping a bonus episode—Stephen King’s “The Raft.” Join Talon (who’d suspect even a puddle is haunted) and Dan (who’s only here for the monster’s Yelp review) as we break down this cult classic short from Creepshow 2.

This one’s more than just a quick dip. “The Raft” is our perfect teaser for next month’s all-new theme: Lakes. So, get ready for a month full of horror beneath the surfac...

This week, we dive into Making Monsters (2019), a found-footage horror flick that mixes influencer culture with a seriously sinister weekend getaway. When a couple known for their online pranks visits a friend’s creepy country home, things go from “haha” to “hell no” real quick.

We talk about digital identity, masked stalkers, and how internet fame can come with a deadly price tag. Oh—and if you’ve ever wanted to see what happens wh...

Summer camp is supposed to be fun—unless you're in a horror movie from the '80s. This week, we take a deep dive into The Burning (1981), a slasher flick with a flaming backstory, a hedge-clipping killer, and a cast full of future stars. We talk about the wild kills, the awkward teen drama, and whether Cropsey got a raw deal or was just really into vengeance. Spoiler alert: there's a lot of running through the woods.

It’s no joke—we’re kicking off Two Cents: We See Scary Movies with a film that’s all about pranks gone wrong… or are they? Join Dan and Talon as they dive into April Fool’s Day (1986), the horror movie that blends slasher thrills with a twist that still sparks debate. Is it a clever take on the genre, or does it leave audiences feeling tricked? We break down the kills, the characters, and that infamous ending. Grab your party invit...

This week on Two Cents: We See Scary Movies, Talon and Dan suffer through June 9 (2008), a found footage film that takes “slow burn” to a whole new level—mostly because nothing happens. Set in the small town of Boston Mills, Ohio, this movie follows a group of insufferable teens as they meander through bad decisions, repetitive actions, and an ending that left us questioning our life choices. Is there anything redeeming about this ...
