Eyes Wide Cut: Recent Episodes
David Willis
Welcome to Eyes Wide Cut, a horror podcast by a horror otaku based in Japan. Each time I will review something new, something old and occasionally something very very bad. Film recommendations and interactions most welcome. Especially if they veer towards the mad and the macabre.
I review The Menu (2022), Mark Mylod’s jet black horror comedy that delves into the world of fine dining, and the customers that perhaps overindulge in it.
I review Halloween Ends (2022), the self-described final instalment in the long running saga between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode.
I review Crimes of the Future, David Cronenberg's first film in eight years and a return to his beloved body-horror themes.
In a new series I call Retro Glance, I take a look at the horror of the bygone days to understand the foundations on which modern horror movies are based. In this first episode, I review Blood and Black Lace, Mario Bava's 1964 violent murder mystery.
I review the first episode of Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, released onto Netflix this week.
I review Speak No Evil, a mysterious new Danish & Dutch horror movie by director Christian Tafdrup.
I review The Black Phone (2021), writer director Scott Derrickson’s latest entry into the horror genre, based on a short story by Joe Hill.
I review Eduardo Sanchez's Altered from 2006. An intense and isolated extraterrestrial horror that failed at the box office. This was in contrast to The Blair Witch Project, one of the most profitable movies ever made.
Welcome back again, horror fans. In episode three, I review MAD GOD from veteran visual effects master Phil Tippett, Andrew Seman's RESURRECTION and delve into giallo with Dario Argento's bug filled PHENOMENA.
Welcome back. In episode two, I review The Sadness from director Kevin Ko, Alex Garland’s MEN and go back in time to Kurosawa Kiyoshi’s scary TV movie Seance. Episodes are now available on YouTube as video versions. Check them out, if you dare.
Welcome to Eyes Wide Cut, a new horror podcast. I am a horror fan from the UK who has been living in Japan for a decade. In this first episode, I review X from director Ti West and INCANTATION on Netflix, the second Taiwanese horror film I have seen this year.
