Best Messed Up Remakes Draft
Messed Up Movies
What makes a great remake? Faithfully honoring the original, completely reinventing it, or improving it so dramatically that the first movie becomes obsolete? This week, Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia draft the most messed-up movie remakes of all time. With The Thing and The Ring banned from competition, the board is wide open for body horror, slashers, alien invasions, vampires, psychosexual thrillers and one deeply disturbing Lindsay Lohan family comedy.

Graveyard Shift
Messed Up Movies
Today Griffey and Dandino clock in and punch out rats in Graveyard Shift. They discuss this interesting era in Stephen King on screen adaptaions, the pure insanity of the cast that chews scenery more than rats do wool, and what in the name of nightmare evolution is the Rat King at the end of the film. This is an often over-looked Messed Up Movie. Synopsis: The owner of an ancient mill hires a drifter to rid the basement of rats.

Saccharine
Messed Up Movies
Shudder’s new original horror film SACCHARINE left us feeling overfed, bloated and ultimately malnurished.

Unfortunately, she also attracts the attention of the very large, very angry ghost whose remains she has been consuming. On this New Movie Monday, Griffey, Heath, Sam and Sophia dig into Natalie Erika James’ ambitious body-horror movie.

Most Messed Up Movies of the 90s
Messed Up Movies
The 1990s gave us meta-slashers, satanic spaceships, exploding hookers, body-swapping action heroes, teenage witches and enough Nicolas Cage insanity to sustain an entire decade. Griffey, Heath, Sam, Sophia and Nick battle to assemble the ultimate team of messed up movies from the ’90s. Scream, Event Horizon, Frankenhooker, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, The Craft, Candyman, Face/Off, 12 Monkeys and Hocus Pocus are only the beginning. Was the ’90s actually an underrated horror decade? Is Event Horizon secretly a Warhammer movie? Does Hocus Pocus belong beside Fight Club? And which...

Messed Up Movies
The original ending of Jeepers Creepers was supposed to continue far beyond the police station.

Rabbit Trap
Messed Up Movies
Today Griffey and Dandino belly flop in to the fairy circle that is Rabbit Trap. They discuss the spell the film puts us under with sparse settings and poetic tradgedy, how to handle an odd pushy little kid and his rabbit offerings, and what the mossy fairy tale ending wants us to take away from the movie. Dev Patel always has a keen sense for interesting material and this is no exception. Join the pod in this art house sound scape. Synopsis: Married couple Daphne and Darcy Davenport are two musicians who moved from London to a cottage in Wales to complete their new album. By accident...

Exit 8
Messed Up Movies
Today Griffey, Heath and Sam scour a scary subway tunnel for anomalies in Exit 8 now on Shudder. They discuss the rules of the film and how they keep the audience stuck in the narrative, how the journey could have used more clues as to the real world stakes of this journey, and which of the horrors the tunnel unfurls scared them to their core. Liminal space is all the rage in the horror community right now. While this film doesn't quite hit the MESSED UP heights of Backrooms, there are moments, if you look close that do. Synopsis: A man becomes increasingly desperate when he realizes he...
