Deadly Theremin

To all the Children of the Night: This podcast was designed to be a monologue on horror movie iconography. Each Wednesday, I will release a new episode analyzing my favorite motion pictures while drinking. I strongly recommend that you watch the movies before listening to Deadly Theremin. Also, pour yourself a drink, and prepare to embrace the darkness with me. We'll cover soundtrack, curious facts, philosophy, history, art, and spoilers. Lots of spoilers.You have been warned. Enjoy. Or not. Whatever.

Carnival of Souls (1962) 09/23/2024

Carnival of Souls (1962) A car crash and a new beginning. Carnival of Souls depicts the solitude of provincial living in the southwest United States in the 1960s from the perspective of a woman who also works as a church organ player. Despite her efforts to live a normal life, she is haunted by a ghostly presence that leads her into learning wild secrets about her own existence. This is my season finale, an incredibly interesting series of plot twist coming from many levels fading in and out in style between scenes. The episode contains huge spoilers so I recommend you watch it first. R.I.P. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/33164272

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) 07/09/2024

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (2010) After an year-long hybernation period, I have returned from the darkness bringing you Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, a film that flatens many existences and realms once separated by the restrictions of time, space, and societal norms. A beautiful visual rendering of a book from 1983 called A Man Who Can Recall His Past Lives by Buddhist abbot Phra Sripariyattiwet. A terminal illness thins out otherwise physical barriers of existence as Boonmee navigates through past lives to find reason and understanding. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/32059467

The Phantom Carriage (1921) 08/25/2023

The Phantom Carriage (1921) Legend goes that the last person to die on New Years' Eve becomes the Coachman in charge of collecting the souls of the dead until someone else takes their place in this nefarious task. The Phantom Carriage is a silent-film from what is known as the Golden Era of Swedish cinema. Directer and Starred by Victor Sjostrom, this classic is a masterclass in special effects and spectral superimposition with the most beautiful soundtrack by Matti Bye. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/27850554

His House (2020) 12/20/2022

His House (2020) It's hard to believe this was Remi Week's debut film. His House blurrs the lines of real horror with traditional elements of fictional horror, bringing together an incredibly deep approach to the dichotomic commitments regarding the cultural memory of war refugees. It's delicate, and monstrous simultaneously. You can't miss this. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/25383780

Ringu (1998) 10/04/2022

Ringu (1998) Directed by Hideo Nakata, the J-horror masterpiece Ringu was based on a book released a few years earlier and it tells the tale of the vengeful spirit of a child that comes out of the screen to kill you if you watch their Stan Brakhagesque cursed tape! Sadako's aesthetic has become an universal pop culture symbol for fear and the deadly presence of beings from the aftelife in relation to elements familiar to us and present in our daily lives, such as TV devices -- and VHS tapes. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/24578457

The Shining (1980) 07/19/2022

The Shining (1980) A new season begins in this Deadly Theremin with one of the most famous films of the horror genre. Directed by Stanley Kubrik and based on a novel with the same name written by Stephen King, The Shining touches classic themes that frightens, in a suspense-building-but-also-already-kind-of-there atmosphere, different generations since its first release. It speaks directly to our most primal fears in a brutal fashion (yes, I am thinking about the elevator of blood). /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/23783237

Bacurau (2019) 12/06/2021

Bacurau (2019) Convidei meus grandes amigos de longa data para analisar Bacurau do Kleber Mendonça Filho e Juliano Dornelles. Um filme que vai abordar todos os esqueletos no armário da sociedade brasileira usando a lingua franca dos westerns estado-unidenses, violência e uma trilha sonora incrível. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/21393041

La Casa Lobo (2017) 11/01/2021

La Casa Lobo (2017) La casa lobo é um stop-motion de terror chileno que faz alusão aos contos de fadas dos irmãos Grimm, produzido ao longo de cinco anos e contando a narrativa de um membro de uma colonia-seita alemã que ainda existe no Chile, entrou pra lista de melhores filmes que eu já assisti.v /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/21007895

Aterrados (2017) 10/14/2021

Aterrados (2017) Dirigido por Damien Rugna, que também é o guitarrista da banda Pasco 637 da Argentina, Aterrados é um daqueles filmes que você termina de assistir e tenta lembrar qual foi a última vez que um longa de ficção te fez sentir tanto medo assim. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/20815658

La Llorona (2019) 09/14/2021

La Llorona (2019) Dirigido pelo diretor guatemalteca Jayro Bustamante, esse filme vai se utilizar da lingua franca do terror-ficção-folclore pra abordar o terror-real sofrido por milhares de povos indígenas durante a ditadura militar na Guatemala na segunda metade do século XX. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/20445998

Esta Noite Reencarnarei no Teu Cadáver (1967) 08/27/2021

Esta Noite Reencarnarei no Teu Cadáver (1967) Lançado em 1967 e dirigido, produzido, editado e protagonizado por José Mojica Marins, Esta Noite Reencanarei no Teu Cadáver traz vários elementos contemporâneos e técnicas impressionantes de efeitos especiais para o cenário nacional. Esse episodio é repleto de spoilers então eu recomendo que deixem toda a esperanca, vós que entrais! E boa noite. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/20284316

The Wicker Man (1973) 06/09/2021

The Wicker Man (1973) A missing girl in a strange Scottish village, with uncomfortably happy folk songs, naked dancing and rituals, The Wicker Man is one of those classic films that you can't stop thinking about. It's an extremely unsettling murder mystery with amazing plot twists and a breathtaking climax. This bonus episode was an amazing recommendation from a friend, and I analyzed while having a Guinness, just like the villagers at the landlord's bar. I hope you enjoy it, or not. It's your funeral. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/19417730

The Ritual (2017) 03/01/2021

The Ritual (2017) Four Londoner men decide to go on a hike in memoriam of their friend in Sweden. What could go wrong, you think? Ancient woods are a commonplace for Ancient pagan religions, their followers, and sometimes even the bloodthirsty gods they worship. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/18143627

Children of the Corn (1984) 02/01/2021

Children of the Corn (1984) Poorly based on a Stephen King's, Children of the Corn explores a corn-god cult led by cute little murderous children. This low-budget film is a parallel between religious fanaticism, with hints of the Old Testament and corn farming. It gives no room for a sequel, but they just kept popping. Like corn. It turned into an awfully stretched franchise that doesn't give you crazy gory deaths. So, fill up your cup and come praise He Who Walks Behind the Rows with me. Or not. It's your funeral. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/17773991

Santa Sangre (1989) 12/22/2020

Santa Sangre (1989) The jewel of Mexican Horror, Santa Sangre explores Life and Death using Symbolism to the bone . It's the story of the child magician Fenix and his way to adulthood while dealing with traumas, imaginary snakes and an armless bloodthirst vengeful mother devout to a strange cult that worships Santa Sangre /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/17287340

Hereditary (2018) 12/21/2020

Hereditary (2018) Released in 2018 by studio A24, Hereditary invites you to discover what's behind a series of strange events that surround the Graham Family and their History of secrecy, death and Madness. This is not a movie I enjoyed watching a second time, mostly because of the unsettling atmosphere and agonizing long ending. It's still a masterpiece and you deserve to watch it. You've been warned. R.I.P /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/17280449

Mandy (2018) 12/09/2020

Mandy (2018) This is not my average alone-in-the-dark episode. The idea was to debut season 2 by simulating those weird conversations you wanna eavesdrop at a dive bar after work between two old friends. So grab a beer, and pretend Lloyd's polishing glasses in front of you. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/17129969

Black Sunday/The Mask of Satan (1960) 09/18/2020

Black Sunday/The Mask of Satan (1960) Black&White gothic gore based on an Ukranian book of fantastical beings, Black Sunday is a masterpiece in cinematography and editing. /episode/index/show/deadlytheremin/id/16830971

Suspiria (1977) [SPOILER ALERT]Director Dario Argento's masterpiece, Suspiria, stands as one of the most beautiful horror films ever made.
