7th Circle of Film: Recent Episodes
Keiran Simmons
Hosted by Keiran alongside a revolving set of friends and horror fanatics; join us as we disect an entire horror movie series from the first blood-laden film to the crappy straight to DVD tenth film as well as a discussion on the directors, writers and lead actors.
An hour of Trump impressions, unsolicited therapy and occasionally some discussion about the short lived Resident Evil Netflix series. No, not that one, the one no-one remembers, no, the other one.
The Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time of horror films. I refuse to elaborate. Review covers the Dentist and Dentist 2: Brace Yourself.
Releasing on time? Can only mean one thing. Indepth review of the failed Resident Evil auteur project from a guy who hadn't played a single game. What a shock. Stef says something nice about the Alice films. Actually what a shock.
Professionals giving us interviews? Who'd have thought? Myself, Darian and Director/writer Todd Greenlee go over All Eyes (2022). A film very much worth watching so, why, are you listening to this?
A very brief spoiler free review of the upcoming film Late Night with the Devil, I'll be going full spoilers a while after it's out. It's great, go watch it.
As always you can reach me at the email - 7thcircleoffilm@gmail.com
So I'll be straight, this one wasn't fun to watch or remember, a lot of this is complaining about Wagamamas and Dad's Army, the films awful don't watch it.
MolwI' 'ej naD Tu'lu'chugh.
Pontypool, radioplay and film, review with a geniune Canadian, continue at your peril.
Who called for an indepth look on Luchador Horror with El Santo? No one? Well too bad. This episode I interview Dr David Wilt on Mexican horror cinema and the bizzare career of the Silver Mask El Santo, a more prolific monster hunter there was not. Dr Wilt happens to do introductions on the 8-disk El Santo box-set funded by Robert Rodriguez, well worth checking out.
Below I've placed links to Dr Wilts website and Twitter (X?) along with a BFI article on where to start with Mexican Macabre cinema. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did.

The Finale in a review trilogy of the Living Dead franchise with Stephanie saving by far the best and most underrated till last.
An indepth look into the mindset of each character with a splash of fun gore just in the spirit of the film. Hopefully you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed talking about it.
Yeah. Trucks. Part two of a series going over and reviewing the original Dead trilogy put out by George Romero; my personal favourite with loads to cover. Consume away.
Classic, classic that needs no intro. Keiran and a Steph go over Romero's original Dead trilogy, carved up into three parts because God can we talk.
A gimicky slasher based on slashing out a sense? Don't see too many of those around. Keiran and Ronja go through Mike Flanagan's push into the stabby genre and what'd you know, for once it's positive stuff.
Stef dragged back in toe with his unhealthy Van Damme obsession to review two of Carpenter's best, Escape from New York and L.A. Synth, Kurt Russel and a Handglider assault of Disney Land with no Seagal in sight. Perfection
The 103 Year Anniversary of one of the Best Films Every Made, Don't Wanna Hear anything about Spoilers.
Thai, Keiran and Authentic German Ronja go over a Masterpiece of Cinema that Not Only Kickstarted Tim Burtons Career Later on But Manages to Still be a Wonderful Journey of Expressionism. We're Definitely Qualified for This.
Turns out there is something worse than Twilight. Who knew? Hosts Thai and Keiran go over four different Twilight Knockoffs with Stef providing some old memory reminiscing in the form of explaining the Twilight films themselves.
Who better than three fully grown men to review stuff aimed at teen girls?
Back to the Zombie Franchise with our Resident Expert on Evil and Ronja, Minus the Monotone. Reviewing Three Animated Films - Degeneration, Damnation and Vendetta Pumped Out Prior to Games 4,5 and 6 respectively. Some of them are Even Good.
Here we go again playing to the algorithm with a 2009 unknown indie. Shameless. Talking with Mike about love, demons and the lengths we go for the love of demons.
The worst film we've ever covered. Reference comedy alla 2000s youtubers slotted with live action anal vore. I wish I was joking. Terror at Bloodfart Lake is the final boss in a gauntlet of shitty straight to DVD films standing way too proud. I hope you guys enjoy it more than we did.
The last of Keiran and Thai going over auteur filmaking, finishing off with a man who lives on a military compound. Reviewing Antichrist, Melancholia and the House that Jack Built with a fun Von Trier or Nazi quote quiz throw in for good measure. Not for the faint of heart.
Interpreting an entirely visual film centred on nihilism, great idea. Three people with three different perspectives on Mad God discuss the meaning of the misery behind Mad God the great stopmotion showcase by Phill Tipet
August Underground, gore porn or misunderstood dada art? Really getting our pretention on for a franchise famous in the underground circuits for death, psychopaths and losers. At least we can agree Vogel has some grizzly effects.

One Pill Makes you Larger....
Keiran and Thai going over the bizzare and varied history of Alice in Wonderland adaptations; focusing on the 1988 Czech version but also touching on the Disney, American Mcgee and something so strange it defies explanation. Even for Alice.
Little bit of shameless cross promotion as well - We released our first ever short on Vimeo, 7th Circle of Film - Dead Man Walking feel free to tell us what you think
What's better than a man risking everything to fufill his dream of making a film? When that dream involves 300 gallons of blood, that's what.
Keiran and Thai go over early era Peter Jackson all the while questioning and thanking whoever was insane enough to give this kiwi control of Lord of the Rings a decade later.
Discussions on the philosophy of nihilism, that's why everyone's listening right? We look through the first couple Hellraisers and what made them so compelling from both a film making perspective and as a mirror to some of the more cathartic desires people have. Special guest Mike, friend of myself this time round, getting back to regular hosts and the like next episode.
The end to a long, mediocre road of films finishing out with a clone filled bang. A review of the last half of Paul W.S Andersons magnum opus franchise with added clones. Did I mention clones?
Special thanks to Ronja who provided a pinpoint impression of Alice, xanex induced and all.
A hit of classic 2000s nostalgia that probably should've stayed in the early 00s. Going over all five of the Final Destination films with unqualified conversations on predeterminism and perfectly qualified immature jokes thrown in for good measure.
The fifth one's in 3-D you know they have to be good.
Ok so we talk about Kevin Smith films here, Tusk and Yoga Hosers. We spend an hour doing our normal talk about Tusk then we descend it the abyss or anger and hate during Yoga Hosers......By far our worst episode for content because we are beyond depressed for having seen this ghastly excuse for a movie.....
A storied and drunk recap of the origins of the one and only legendary Burt Gummer and an exploration of one of the best creature features ever put to film.... and the first two sequels.
Special guest Brandon an American and certified gun nut able to better traverse the wild world of Tremors than at least we are.
So this episode is us babbling about Chronenburg films, Videodrome and Shivers. With a special guest that actually knows what they're talking about. From Blondie to Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Woods being in Scary Movie, Vampires and of course Family Guy. We convince ourselves we're not deviants and are just watching these things for your enjoyment more than our own.
This is our commentary on the first 3 Resident Evil films edited by Stefan and I'm still crap at it so I'm sorry it'll get better eventaully. But as is listen to us tear this mastepiece to shreds and mock anyone and everyone in it. I give a few small insights into the games, but we will be playing through the games on our new youtube channel!!!! Search for 7th circle of game and subscribe! And stay tuned for uploads on there.
C.H.U.D Canibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers, Evironmental stuff's all the rage at the minute so why not check on this little forgotten yet great horror themed around just that. And it's unfortunately not forgotten enough "sequel".
Cat People! Yes that beloved classic Christmas film everyone knows and loves uploaded a whole 360 days early for Christmas. A bizzare capsule from the 40s that needs to be seen to be beilieved.
Bypassing Stranger Things and It, we're going back to the source to look at two of the most 80s drenched films of all time from the beautifully insane mind of Dario Argentio cult classics Demons and Demons 2, alongside the humble origins of presumed beloved horror icon Tony the Pimp.
This episode we talk about the Escape Room movies, more rant actually. But we discuss whether movies like this should exist and what could be done differently to make it somewhat watchable.

Video game films. A phrase as ominious and inducing of terror as "I'm going out for ciggerettes" or "let's split up". Can we break that reputation with an adaptation of Keiichiro Toyama's masterpiece? Let's find out.
A classic 2000s film with a 90s slasher coat of paint headed by the ever terrifying Ted Levine and flanked by two god-awful straight to DVD releases. We go over the evolution of a franchise no-one should've realistically cared about with fellow podcasters and friends Jess and Trav to see if Joyride is as thrilling as the title implies; whilst also going over cultural differences ranging from the concrete horror that is the M6 to the hygiene rating of a Little Chef.
A trip through time looking at how a famous franchise with a classic monster has changed over eighty years. How do the modern duo stack up against the giants of Universal and Hammer House? Find out.
Which idiots wished for Wishmaster sequels? We go over the great original and straight to Tv-sequels of this largely overlooked series filled with fun campy horror, terror and... a love story. I'm not joking.
Because Nazi Zombies don't have enough coverage in mainstream culture we go over the big ones in film straight from the country of Norway. Citizen Kane of Nazi Zombie media or more of a Stalingrad slog? Find out.
Diving into a classic we see if Craven's creation lives up to modern standards alongside the Aja remake. The hills have eyes but are they watching anything entertaining?
Tune in as Keiran and Stephan jump into a notorious black sheep of the gore porn genre and find out whether they really live up to their grizzly reputation.
