However the King dispatches four of the land's best assassins to hunt and kill her before she can find help. With a former solider by her side, Elspeth tries to evade death but runs straight into hell where she finds an army of soulless men and women trapped in cages in the earth, awaiting the call from their master to rise and siege the castle. Surrounded by evil, will Elspeth maintain her faith...2024-07-0403 minRunning Scared MediaEpisode 68 Smile (2022)What is a smile when it's disingenuous? What is it covering up? Parker Finn's directorial debut Smile (2022) uses trauma not just as a theme but as an actual device to transfer a horrible demon between unsuspecting witnesses. Borrowing from Hereditary, It Follows and the Ring, among others, we argue Smile still brings something fresh and unique to horror genre. We ask the big questions: Did Rose kill the cat? Do we need the inability to communicate cliche? Or the annoying b-characters? Is the monster physically real? Does it pop into a room like a Leprechaun? Is the monster from RE...2024-06-121h 11Running Scared MediaEpisode 67 The Omen (1976)Oh man, it's time to do the Omen (1976). One of the most influential horror movies of the 70s, Richard Donner's film about US Ambassador, Robert Thorn, and his wife raising the AntiChrist would set off a franchise that was revisited in 2024. Running Scared co-hosts Jamie and Rob have a lot to say about dogs in horror movies, off-leash protocols, the logistics of hiring a nanny, a spin on "the library scene", Jerry Goldsmith's score, and a whole lot more. Plus another Monster Metrics segment where we measure the dread factor, dog alert moments and anticipated scares per minute.S...2024-05-011h 33Running Scared MediaEpisode 66 Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)"Ya so, it's a security guard job at an abandoned arcade where the ghosts of dead children possess animatronics and murder said security guards. When can you start?" A community... paralyzed by... what, we're not sure. Why haven't they condemned this place? That one patrol cop sure seems to know a lot about the missing children case and about the murdered security guards. Funny how they never investigate the place where they were murdered. Oh well.

Running Scared co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts take apart the latest edition in the Exorcist franchise and look at how it echoed and subverted the original classic film from 1973. It gets heated between Rob and Jamie when we ask the big questions. Was scripted racial tension edited out of the final cut? Did the opening scene echo the original or subvert it? Do our expectations bog down our read of this film, or are we looking for fan service? Does Priest "Wild Thing" Vaughn save the day in the ninth...2024-02-281h 18Running Scared MediaEpisode 64 When Evil Lurks (2023)Take the apocalyptic tone of a zombie film and swap in the unrelenting dread of demonic possessions and you have a starting point to enter the critically acclaimed When Evil Lurks (2023) by director Demián Rugna. TRIGGER WARNING. This film depicts violence towards children and child death. Our review discusses this aspect of the film.

For this year's holiday pod, cohosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts lean into action thriller and Christmas classic Die Hard 2 (1990) starring Bruce Willis as John McClane. We enter the debate surrounding this film's status as a Christmas movie, discuss the everyman vs. the supermen, air traffic safety mishaps, how not to exchange gifts in public if you're evil, naked Tae Bo, and we compare this film and the villains to it's predecessor.

Co-hosts, Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts disagree on the realism of the teenage horror drama "Talk to Me". Twin brothers Danny and Michael Philippou make their directorial debut on this highly praised modern-day take on the ouija board, in which teens use the severed hand of a median to get high and converse with the dead! We ask the tough questions: does this film propagate a stereotype of stupid teenagers? Do they have a plan? Did Jamie ever have a plan during his teenage antics? Is this the worst dog in horror movie history? How will they...2023-11-231h 16Running Scared MediaEpisode 59 The Babadook (2014)Happy Halloween Scaredy Cats! After a little break, The Running Scared boys are back with a film that's all about parenting by the book - it's just the worst book you could possibly parent by: the Babadook (2014)! In this episode we tackle the state of masculinity in Australia, kids with high anxiety, unhelpful school administrators, house painting and hanging pictures, bedtime book choices and opportunistic f@*k bois like Robbie. Plus, our reviews always give you the eyeball test, but now we're going to look at the numbers as we introduce a brand new segment: Monster Metrics!

A 2014 John Erick Dowdle film, it combines a little Blair Witch handheld horror, with a sprinkle of Harry Potter magic with a few heaping table spoons of Indiana Jones mystery and adventure to cook up a unique, although somewhat muddy, voyage into the gates of Hell under the Paris Catacombs. What genre does this film lean on the most and does it succeed? Is the lead character a charming female Indiana Jones or a narcissist who puts others in constant danger? When does the s...2023-09-291h 18

Cunningham's 1980 "Friday the 13th" was a slasher in the ilk of Halloween. Could the creators possibly have known that they were embarking on a franchise that would take the iconic killer, Jason Voorhees, to New York City, the midwest, space and even Hell? We go back to the film that started it all and ask the big questions; Why do small town folk always turn to look at the new person who enters the restaurant? How did Crazy Ralph get into the pantry? We explore Mrs. Voorhees motivation. Is Pamela Voorhees a trained assassin? Let's discuss the l...2023-09-011h 03Running Scared MediaEpisode 55 Pandorum (2009)If humanity has to leave Earth in search of a new home are we still human when we get to our destination? We guess that's the question that the sci-fi horror Pandorum (2009) is asking... or maybe it's what happens if you add the biker guys from Mad Max: Fury Road to Event Horizon? This genre bending mashup of horror, 90s video games, hockey pads and blue neon has co-hosts Jamie Roberts and Rob Lendrum trading jabs as they debate the onion peel story arch, the casting and the characters. What if Norman Reedus had been the star? Why is...2023-08-081h 11Running Scared MediaEpisode 54 Cocaine Bear (2023)Director/Producer Elizabeth Banks takes us back to a simpler time in American history when there were no cell phones, cocaine was delivered by plane and bears ruled with an iron fist. Based on a true story, Cocaine Bear (2023) posits that if there is anything worse than encountering a bear in the wild, it's encountering a cocaine bear in the wild. An impressive cast, a great concept, but do we get the gore and over-the-top comedy we are hoping for? Co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts go nose deep into a creature feature that tries to find the balance bet...2023-07-1859 minRunning Scared MediaEpisode 53 The Amityville Horror (1979)Let's face it. You can't say no to those 1979 haunted house prices. 80K for a waterfront 4 bedroom with a guest house? If you ever wonder how characters stick it out so long in films like "The Amityville Horror" (1979), it's because you can't find houses that cheap! We contrast the film with the Conjuring and ask the big questions like why don't paranormal investigators have dogs? What's up with the blood soup club in the basement? Does Lois Lane need to practice ballet in her lingerie before bed? What purpose does the cop serve? How much wood did Brolin have to...2023-06-281h 12Running Scared MediaEpisode 52 The Conjuring (2013)When there's something strange in your shitty, auction bought, ramshackle house, who you gonna call? 2 weirdos who call themselves "Demonologists" and no one thinks that's odd. Blockbuster Director James Wan brings us the haunted house thriller "The Conjuring" (2013) starring Vera Farmiga, Lili Taylor, Patrick Wilson and Ron Livingston. A truly scary film that kicked off a franchise, this one actually chills co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts. We ask, does anyone think these guys are fakes? Would Christian faith make this film extra scary? Have we ever had a supernatural experience? Are all ghosts malicious or are there helpful...2023-06-071h 15Running Scared MediaEpisode 50 Anaconda (1997) featuring Miles KleeIt's our 50th episode! We celebrate our milestone by returning to the movie that has not only consumed our lives by inspiring this podcast, but also regurgitated our friendship. That's right, we're doing Anaconda (1997) AGAIN. But this time, co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts have brought along the very funny and intelligent Miles Klee of Rolling Stone magazine as our special guest to deconstruct the madness of Jon Voight's performance as Paul Serone. Plus, we brainstorm what a prequel (or requel) of Anaconda would look like with our own mock trailer. Finally, we create the definitive drinking game bingo c...2023-05-021h 12Running Scared MediaEpisode 49 Aliens (1986)Those loveable chest burstin' Xenomorphs are back and so is the Running Scared Podcast with back-to-back episodes on the Alien franchise. This time around, we dive into the blockbuster masterpiece that is James Cameron's Aliens. A special effects tour de force, Aliens cranks up the bad ass meter on Sigourney Weaver's Ripley while echoing the original film with a few nice twists. Is Ripley's dream sequence imagined or is it somehow real? Where did Newt poop? Vasquez is a fashion icon. Hudson is the most easily wound up depression leader.

Running Scared hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts interrogate the sci-fi horror classic Alien (1979) and have a lot to say about the leadership of this mission. Who would you rather have in the chair for this mission? What seeds were laid in this film that gave birth to a franchise? Why do they care about that cat so much? Curiosity, hungry aliens and corporate greed can't catch this kitty.Support us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/runningscaredEmail us...2023-03-171h 09Running Scared MediaEpisode 47 The Fan (1996) featuring guest host Winston McMartinEveryone has that one buddy who loves his team a little too much, but that buddy isn't Robert Di Nero. In Tony Scott's 1996 thriller The Fan, Di Nero channels some of his past performances as unstable toxic males and overpowers the film in a rare case of the actor's feet being too big for the role's shoes. Although the thrills might not hit the heights of Willie Mays Hayes scoring from second on a bunt, the Running Scared boys review is sure to please as we call in a designated hitter for a little help: Winston McMartin of The D...2023-02-151h 11Running Scared MediaEpisode 46 Barbarian (2022)Poor Tess is cold, wet and just wants to put her head down and get some zzzs. But some weird dude is in her AirBnB. So, she does what we would all do, kick him to the couch and sleep in his bed. Nothing could go wrong, right? Written and directed by Zach Cregger, Barbarian (2022) is a scary hit that puts the ick back in incest. Running Scared co-hosts Rob and Jamie ask the big questions; Do medical conventions saturate the hotel and AirBnB inventory in Detroit? Does incest give you super powers? Can you rent out a torture...2023-01-241h 02Running Scared MediaEpisode 45 GingerDeadMan (2005)As a gift to our Patreon members, we dropped this episode a couple weeks back. Now it's here for all to enjoy, catch it if you can! And if you ever do catch this straight to DVD flick, stomp it into oblivion and sweep the crumbs away because we struggled to find anything redeeming about GingerDeadMan (2005).

To get you in the festive spirit, we're reviewing a Canadian cult classic Black Christmas (1974). Although made on a small budget, it features some big Canadian acting talent and several key innovations for the genre of horror. That being said, is this a comedy or a cop movie? A genre bending art film or a cop out? What Benny HIll skit is Mrs. Mac from? Is Mr. Harrison the worst father on the planet? Crush a couple of Labbat 50s and get ready for a full 60...2022-12-231h 01Running Scared MediaEpisode 42 Blumhouse's Halloween trilogy (2018-22)Three scoops of murder victims courtesy of Michael Myers, Blumhouse Productions and the boys at Running Scared as we review the entire Halloween trilogy; Halloween (2018), Halloween Kills (2021) and Halloween Ends (2022). Had the Halloween franchise gone off the rails and does Blumhouse get it back on? Does this hang together as a trilogy? Is it wise to put Michael Myers on a school bus? Do the rules of Requels bog down a movie - ie. bringing back the legacy cast? How closely was this trilogy meant to mirror the latest Star Wars films? Yes this pod is a bit longer...2022-12-021h 34Running Scared MediaEpisode 41 Candyman (2021)What happens when you say "Candyman" 5 times in the mirror? You might start wondering why the original Candyman haunted young black children in his own neighbourhood. Was that the central problem that writers Jordan Peele, Via DaCosta and Win Rosenfeld were trying to solve when reinventing the 1992 cult classic? Is Candyman a werewolf story, except a bee? Candyman is a black revenge story against white supremacist police brutality, gentrification and cultural displacement, and possibly a superhero origin film.Support us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/runningscaredEmail us at:the...2022-11-0854 minRunning Scared MediaEpisode 40 The Exorcist (1973)After a little break, Co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts are back to review a classic film from the horror pantheon, William Friedkin's The Exorcist (1973). Nearly 50 years after its release, does this film hold up? Did Friedkin get a cut of the Ouija Board sales? Why is Detective Kinderman always trying to give people movie tickets? Is this a revenge film? Or a discussion on the limits of modern medicine? Also, who will win our first ever Running Scared Award for the person who got the most exercise making this film?Please note: The version of The E...2022-10-251h 15Running Scared MediaEpisode 39 Friday the 13th pt. 6 Jason LivesConsidered a turning point in the F13 series, Jason Lives takes Jason from supernatural stalker to re-animated zombie with a penchant for hilarious murder. Running Scared co-hosts revisit the grassy plains of Jane and Wilson where Jamie's Scottish grandparents let him watch horror at a young age, and review the 1986 "classic". We count at least 7 unnecessary deaths. Is this horror-comedy? Or is it horror-slapstick? Is Horshack your best back-up man? Does Jason's corpse get better looking as it ages? Does Jason kill kids? Can a goalie mask stand up to a rock pounding?Support co-host Robert Lendrum's fund...2022-09-151h 05Running Scared MediaEpisode 38 Mother! (2017)Say what you want about Darren Aronofsky, he sure knows how to turn an anxiety dream into a panic inducing movie. The Running Scared boys try to hang on as the rollercoaster ride that is Mother! (2017) stirs up our paranoia and our patience for unwanted guests. Does the layering of symbolism add up to anything? Does it matter? Is this a film or an experience? Do you buy Jamie's uncle's 2 day rule? What would a crappy B-movie version of this film look like? If you're the paranoid type, Rob doesn't recommend mixing drugs and this movie. Support c...2022-08-301h 04Running Scared MediaEpisode 37 Chopping Mall (1986)What happens when you give Johnny 5 from Short Circuit a laser gun and program it like an ED-209 from Robocop, drop it into suburbia in the 80s, give it the uber-authoritarian position of mall cop and hope nothing goes wrong? You get Chopping Mall (1986)! Running Scared co-hosts Jamie Roberts and Rob Lendrum invited special guest Ari Fleeman from 6amrun to pick the flick and we end up in the C-level 80s horror section. Bring the bongs, brews and babes because it's time for an orgy in a furniture store. Thank You to special Guest Ari Fleeman of 2022-08-1645 min
