Sputnik

Sputnik – A Podcast Film Review by Damien Riley

Synopsis: The lone survivor of an enigmatic Russian spaceship incident hasn’t returned back home alone-hiding inside his body is a dangerous creature.

Most horror fans will agree, I can say based on my travels, that space and aliens are excellent themes for horror movies. Of course, Ridley Scott’s original “Alien” made the hair stand up on the back of the neck of a generation. I am proud to be included in that. Some more recent incarnations have failed in my view to do that but I pay props to that film, it set a gold standard for horror and gore in a mainstream sci fi film. “Sputnik” is an example of a film that comes close to that magic and mystique but in my opinion will not be adopted as such by the horror community because of the subtitles. 

In conclusion, I have avoided spoilers mostly for this one because I really want you to see it. Let me put it this way, I had 3 screeners across my desk this week and this was the best (2020) film of the three by a country mile, or a light year? If you can trust me to not dread the subtitles, I think you’ll have a great time with this film.

We’re all Going to the World’s Fair – Horror Film Podcast Review 7/10

A young girl gets sucked into an MMORPG. The question becomes, is she really changing into horrific forms? The title lured me in. When I heard it was about a teen in her room getting messed with by sone internet spirit I was kinda not into it. Tonight however it sounded creepy enough so I watched it and did a short review. I recommend! 7/10. Very creepy with no jump scares.

Pet Sematary 2019, Damien Riley’s Podcast Film Review

Although the clown monster hit “It” of the same year may have ended up grossing more box office dollars, “Pet Sematary” is a much better horror movie written by Stephen King, in my opinion. The creepiness permeates and paves the way for a quaint yet terrifying tale of one family and a mystic pet cemetery just behind their house.
