Clayface Review: DC Finally Made a Real Body Horror Movie
Clayface review time: DC Studios finally made a real horror movie, and we walked out of it with a 7 and a 4.5. Full spoilers and the ending explained.James Watkins' Clayface, based on a story by Mike Flanagan, follows Matt Hagen, a rising Hollywood star whose face is carved up by a Gotham mob boss's henchmen. Desperate to get his life back, he signs up for an experimental regenerative treatment that isn't ready for human trials. It works. Then it keeps working. Arthur and Meaghan break down DC Studios' first horror movie, from the plastic surgery and aging commentary to body horror that goes further than you'd expect from a comic book movie (it's no Cronenberg, but it isn't shy either).How Mike Flanagan Got DC to Make a Clayface Horror MovieMike Flanagan came up with the Clayface story and co-wrote the screenplay, but his slate (the Carrie series and The Exorcist: Martyrs) kept him from directing.James Gunn never planned on a Clayface movie; Flanagan's pitch and script changed his mind.We never expected to review a DC movie on this show. Here we are.Body Horror, Plastic Surgery and the Fear of AgingThink The Fly meets The Substance, comic book edition.Meaghan's tagline: keep going with plastic surgery, and this is what we'll all look like in a decade.R-rated gore that mostly doesn't cut away (we still want that mace shot).Clayface Cast: Tom Rhys Harries, Naomi Ackie and Who Almost Played Matt HagenTom Rhys Harries' uncanny, chiseled-but-soft face is perfect casting for a man made of clay.Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice, Mickey 17, I Love Boosters) plays Dr. Caitlyn Corr.Eddie Marsan, Max Minghella, David Dencik and Joshua James round out the cast.George MacKay, Tom Blyth, Jack O'Connell and Leo Woodall all read for the role.Clayface Scare Factor and ScoresScare Factor: Creep Me Out / Solid Scares. The eye stuff got Arthur.Arthur gives it 7 digs. Meaghan gives it 4.5: a strong first half, then the comic book villain origin took over.Find your next watch with the Horror Movie Picker.Favorites: Practical Effects, Gotham Aesthetic and Shapeshifting TransitionsThe makeup and reconstruction work on Matt's face looks mostly practical, and it's great.An old-school Warner Bros. logo and older songs make this Gotham feel like it could be any decade.The nightclub sequence where Matt flips through identities is the fun comic book stuff done right.Clayface Ending ExplainedThe bow from the man on the street, the boiler room, the kiss: we walk through the final scene.Our read: Caitlyn is never really there. Watch the feet. It's all clay.Some people in our theater saw it very differently, so we break down why.

Woodstake Graphic Novel: Shawn Hainsworth on a Vampire Crashing Woodstock 1969
Woodstake is the vampire graphic novel that sends a Dracula-style predator to Woodstock 1969, and we sat down with the man who made it. Shawn Hainsworth (who writes as Darin S. Cape) joins Meaghan and Arthur to talk about how rereading Bram Stoker's Dracula alongside Michael Lang's The Road to Woodstock turned into a pun, then a screenplay, then five years of work on the Woodstake graphic novel.The elevator pitch is simple: hippies vs. vampires. What's underneath it is a lot more interesting. Shawn wanted to take one of the most cynical creatures in horror (a centuries-old predator who knows human failings better than anyone) and set it loose on a generation that honestly believed it could change the world.Woodstake: Hippies vs. Vampires at Woodstock 1969Shawn Hainsworth's elevator pitch for the Woodstake graphic novel: a vampire descends on Woodstock in 1969.The idea hit while he was rereading Bram Stoker's Dracula and reading Michael Lang's The Road to Woodstock at the same time. The pun came first; the scenes followed.He didn't want it to just be campy, so it took a while to find something bigger inside the concept.A Dracula-Style Vampire vs. the Peace and Love GenerationA cynical, centuries-old vampire who knows human failings better than anybody, set against people who believed they could change the world.Three kinds of hippie: Nina, the true believer; Artie, who might sell out and become a yuppie; and Jon, chasing his own career.The Vietnam War divide runs through the villains, including a vampire who argues about the war while trying to kill Artie.Recreating Woodstock 1969 in a Graphic NovelShawn and Felipe Kroll watched the Woodstock documentary on repeat to get the details right.Every act appears when it actually played, and Creedence Clearwater Revival's Bad Moon Rising lands right as things come to a head.Michael Lang makes a cameo, and the story ends with a conversation between the vampire and Jimi Hendrix.Shawn's dream backstage passes: Richie Havens stretching his set into Freedom, Santana, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Arlo Guthrie, and Hendrix.From Screenplay to Graphic NovelWoodstake started as a screenplay; the whole prologue was added after the first two issues were written.Felipe Kroll's painted art style looks nothing like a typical comic book, and he repainted pages to get them right.Woodstake took about five years from idea to finished graphic novel.Vampire Movies and Why Vampires Never DieShadow of the Vampire, Willem Dafoe and the Max Schreck legend from the making of Nosferatu.Meaghan's festival pick Los Vampires, about the Spanish-language Dracula crew that shot at night.Shawn calls vampires the Swiss Army knives of the horror world: What We Do in the Shadows, Interview with the Vampire, and even Star Trek's salt vampire.Woodstake '99 and What's Next from SHP ComicsWoodstake '99 concludes the story at Woodstock 1999, with darker art and a vampire who is back for vengeance.Issues are named after songs: Going Up the Country, My Generation, Freedom, Bad Moon Rising and Purple Haze.

Other Mommy Review: Jessica Chastain Can't Save This Incidents Around the House Adaptation
Our Other Mommy review, fresh from the theater: Jessica Chastain plays a mom and the thing wearing her face, and it should have wrecked us. It didn't.Rob Savage (Host, The Boogeyman) directs this adaptation of Josh Malerman's 2024 novel Incidents Around the House, produced by James Wan through Blumhouse-Atomic Monster. The cast is stacked: Jessica Chastain, Arabella Olivia Clark, Jay Duplass, Arian Moayed, Dichen Lachman and Karen Allen (yes, Marion from Raiders of the Lost Ark).Other Mommy Review: Our Verdict and Scare FactorOther Mommy gets 4 digs out of 10 from both of us; a stacked cast and great visuals can't fix a story with no build.Scare factor: Fun and Wild, with Light scares (and yes, we argued about it).Meaghan's tagline for the movie: "Don't lie to your children."Incidents Around the House: Josh Malerman's Novel vs the MovieThe novel is told entirely from eight-year-old Bela's perspective, which Meaghan compares to Emma Donoghue's Room.In the book, the entity is tall, boxy, and wrong (eyes on its chin), and it stays in Bela's closet far longer.The book's ending is much darker than the film's, which Meaghan refuses to spoil on mic.Want the full book breakdown? Our friends at Drawn to Darkness are covering it.Why the Dread Never BuildsThe Other Mommy movie reveals its entity in the opening minutes, before we know anyone in the family.One throwaway line explains why the entity can suddenly leave Bela's room.There's almost no ambiguity between Ursula and Other Mommy; the novel's impersonation scenes are where the real fear lives.What Works: Practical Effects, the Ball Pit and the Upside-Down PartyThe melting face and the seven-foot entity land some genuinely creepy moments.The ball pit to bedroom to ocean transitions look great (and feel very James Wan, very Insidious).The upside-down party sequence with babysitter Kelvin is Meaghan's favorite scene in the film.Jessica Chastain's Dual Role and the Motherhood ThemeJessica Chastain is grounded as Ursula and deeply unsettling as Other Mommy; her glued-on smile made a kid on set scream.Arabella Olivia Clark carries a hard role as Bela, and Jay Duplass makes Russ easy to root for.The film keeps the book's honest take on parenthood: you can love your kid and still want your own identity.Coming Up on Grave ToneNext week: Whalefall, Brian Duffield's adaptation of the Daniel Kraus novel.We're catching Fresh Meat, Dead Meat's horror shorts anthology.Not sure what to watch?

V/H/S/Mixtape Review: The Most Unhinged V/H/S Yet?
V/H/S/Mixtape review time, and this one is cuckoo nuts bananas. The ninth V/H/S film turns sound, music and heavy metal into the horror, and we came out of it with our jaws on the floor.Arthur and Meaghan break down Shudder's newest found footage horror anthology, starting with GWAR's deranged MTV-style wraparound and moving through all four main segments: Renee Zhan's Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance (killer puppets from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, plus Barbara Crampton), David Moreau's Heartbeat (two urban explorers, a soundproof chamber and the sound of your own body), Ernest Dickerson's The Music of Mr. Sze (a film student, a violin and something cosmic living in the attic) and RZA's Death Tone (Neela Jolene, a dead producer's tape and a very literal hunt for the perfect sound). We also get into the two music video interludes, Flying Lotus's stop-motion Another Cabin and Tobias Forge's Premature Burial.V/H/S/Mixtape: Shudder's Sound-Driven Horror AnthologyThe ninth V/H/S film, streaming on Shudder October 9, 2026, builds every segment around sound, music and heavy metal.Spoiler-free verdict: gory, wild, and easily one of the most unhinged V/H/S movies yet. Arthur compares its sound-horror focus to Undertone.How it stacks up against V/H/S/Beyond and V/H/S/Halloween, the two entries that got the franchise back on a roll.GWAR's MTV-Style Wraparound and the Music Video InterludesGWAR host a deranged, metal-only music video show that sets the tone in the first five minutes (don't eat dinner during this one).Flying Lotus directs Another Cabin, a stop-motion nightmare about a boy, his awful grandmother, and a 30-foot monster in the woods.Tobias Forge of Ghost directs Premature Burial, a metal music video about revenge and being buried alive.Dance, Dance, Dance, Dance and HeartbeatRenee Zhan's killer puppet segment: Jim Henson's Creature Shop builds Muppet-style monsters, Barbara Crampton plays the studio exec, and the song is a genuine earworm.Watch for the V/H/S/Halloween Easter egg in the warehouse and the post-credit scene.David Moreau's Heartbeat (from the director of MadS) traps two urban explorers in a soundproof chamber where their own bodies become the horror.The Music of Mr. Sze and RZA's Death ToneErnest Dickerson's The Music of Mr. Sze: a film student, a forbidden violin piece, and a cosmic entity in the attic. Lovecraft fans, take note.RZA's Death Tone: a dead producer's tape, a step-by-step recipe for the perfect sound, and a descent into madness carried by Neela Jolene.V/H/S/Mixtape Segments Ranked and RatingsDigs: Arthur 8/10, Meaghan 7/10 (huge highs, a little less cohesive overall).Arthur's top two: Death Tone and Heartbeat. Meaghan's top two: Heartbeat and Death Tone.Plus favorite segments from past entries, including Mike P. Nelson's V/H/S/85 work and Kate Siegel's V/H/S/Beyond segment.Also on Our Horror RadarBlack Zombie, Maya Annik Bedward's documentary on the Haitian roots of the zombie.

Beware Boiúna Review: Mike P. Nelson's Giant Snake Movie Takes No Prisoners
Our Beware Boiúna review is here, and this giant snake movie does not care who it eats. Spoiler-free first, full spoilers after Gary's warning.Meaghan and Arthur review Beware Boiúna, the new creature feature from director Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, Silent Night, Deadly Night), shot on location in the Amazon rainforest near Leticia, Colombia. A team of doctors on a medical mission heads upriver, an illegal gold mining operation is tearing up the jungle, and the Boiúna (the colossal river serpent of Amazonian folklore) wants every last one of them gone.Beware Boiúna Review: Spoiler-Free First ImpressionsMike P. Nelson's Amazon creature feature was shot on location near Leticia, Colombia, and it shows: sweaty, gritty and fully immersive.A stacked cast: Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day), Kiana Madeira (Fear Street trilogy), Logan Marshall-Green (Upgrade), plus Juan Pablo Shuk, Will Close and Jackson Bews.Meaghan's tagline keeps it simple: stay out of the jungle.The Boiúna: Amazonian Folklore Meets Giant Snake HorrorThe Boiúna is the giant river serpent of Amazonian folklore, here roughly titanoboa-sized and grounded in that legend.An illegal gold mining operation sets the stakes, and the snake plays more like nature restoring balance than a monster looking for lunch.Real-world context: Indigenous communities are confronting illegal miners destroying the rainforest.Practical Effects, Stunts and a Brutal Location ShootThe snake is digital, but the explosions, the collapsing structures, and a character getting flung into the air were done for real.From our interview: a flash flood wiped out a set and forced a reshoot that Mike P. Nelson now prefers.Huge credit to the stunt team, and to Kiana Madeira for that mud pit.Why This Giant Snake Movie Beats the Creature Feature StigmaNot silly snake fodder in the Anaconda mold; we're measuring it against Jaws and Jurassic Park.The snake hunts in the water, in the jungle, and in a machinery yard, by day and at night. No safe rock like in The Devil's Mouth.A midway twist (spoiler section) flips the movie in a direction we did not expect.Scare Factor and Final ScoresScare factor: Fun and Wild. Scare level: Solid Scares.Meaghan gives it 7.5 digs; Arthur gives it 8.Best seen in a theater with friends on a weekend.Mike P. Nelson's Next Move: SawMike P. Nelson is directing the next Saw film after reviving Wrong Turn and Silent Night, Deadly Night.Coming up on Grave Tone: Whalefall (October 16) and more Shudder drops.

Beware Boiúna Interview: Mike P. Nelson on Making a Giant Snake Movie Actually Scary
Beware Boiúna director Mike P. Nelson is back on Grave Tone, and this time he brought stories from the Amazon. Floods, a jungle blessing, a poison dart frog on set, and a giant snake that does not care who you are.We sat down with Mike P. Nelson ahead of Beware Boiúna hitting theatres October 2 to talk about how this giant snake movie actually got made. He almost turned it down (giant snake movies come with baggage, and he knew it). What changed his mind was finding the link between Titanoboa, the real prehistoric snake discovered in Colombia, and the Boiúna of Amazonian folklore. Add a structure borrowed from William Friedkin's Sorcerer and a lot of respect for how Alien, Jaws, Jurassic Park, and Tremors hold back their monsters, and you get a creature feature built on dread instead of camp.How Beware Boiúna Became a Giant Snake Movie Worth MakingProducers Robert Kulzer and Jeremy Bolt, with Tony Giglio, wanted a giant snake story. Mike P. Nelson almost passed because of the stigma the subgenre carries.What won him over: tying Titanoboa, the real prehistoric snake found in Colombia, to the Boiúna of Amazonian folklore.Why William Friedkin's Sorcerer was his main comp (one movie at the start, a different movie by the end).Shooting a Horror Movie in the Colombian AmazonAsking permission to film near Leticia, then a blessing ceremony (chicha included) where a healer told Mike to be "the father of your team."Heavy rain floods the location of the opening gold mining siege, so the whole sequence gets shot from the other side.Mike's favorite days: shooting aboard the Hermes, moving down the Amazon River with the cast.A poison dart frog lands on a chair right across from Kiana Madeira. The snake wrangler handled it.Practical Effects Behind the VFX SnakeA stunt performer was yanked 40 feet into the air with foliage blasting out, all in camera.Real TNT brings down the lumber camp structure while the leads run down the ramp.Mike's rule: if there is a VFX snake in the movie, something real has to go along with it.The Cast of Beware BoiúnaKiana Madeira as Lena: soft-spoken between takes, fully switched on in the mud and the viscera.Logan Marshall-Green pushing buttons during the bar scene with Jessica Rothe, then checking in on her after the cut.Why Mike lets his actors play: if a moment surprises him, it will surprise the audience too.Protector or Predator: Boiúna, Folklore and Gold MiningIs Boiúna the jungle's guardian or just a hungry snake? Mike wants you arguing about it after the credits.The opening illegal gold mining siege reflects a real fight Indigenous communities in the Amazon are in right now.The viral poster campaign that fed internet animals like Moo Deng and Jimothy to Boiúna.Monster Matchups and Fill in the BlankBoiúna vs. Shardik from Stephen King's The Dark Tower, a matchup Mike first chewed on with Eric Vespe on The Kingcast.Boiúna vs. the original King Kong (1933), the movie Mike grew up on.Mike's rule for the genre: every creature feature needs a character who doesn't deserve to die.

The IT 1990 Miniseries Gave Her a Tim Curry Phobia: Childhood Trauma with Graeae Horror
The IT 1990 miniseries is the reason Janine of Graeae Horror spent more than a decade unable to look at Tim Curry. She snuck downstairs at six, caught Pennywise taking Georgie through the banister, and the nightmares followed her home from school for years.Childhood Trauma is back, and this might be the most traumatic entry in the series so far (that is saying something). Janine joins Arthur and Meaghan to revisit the 1990 ABC adaptation of Stephen King's IT, directed by Tommy Lee Wallace, and to explain how one TV movie turned into a real phobia, a mid-screening exit from Burke & Hare and, eventually, a Pennywise tattoo. We go through the Losers Club casting, from Jonathan Brandis and Emily Perkins to John Ritter, Seth Green, Annette O'Toole and Tim Reid, and we have strong feelings about Bill Denbrough's ponytail (it is not okay).How the IT 1990 Miniseries Created a Real Tim Curry PhobiaJanine was six when she snuck downstairs during the miniseries premiere and caught Pennywise taking Georgie; recurring nightmares of Pennywise waiting outside the local sweet shop lasted for years.The fear spread to everything Tim Curry touched: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Legend, Muppet Treasure Island, and a mid-screening exit from Burke & Hare.A forced VHS rewatch in her late teens, IT (2017) in a theatre with a dozen friends, and a Pennywise tattoo later, she is fine. Mostly.Casting the Losers Club: IT 1990 Kids vs AdultsJonathan Brandis carries young Bill Denbrough's grief; Richard Thomas's ponytail does not survive the rewatch.Emily Perkins (Ginger Snaps) and Annette O'Toole (Smallville) give Beverly Marsh the most emotional weight, and the miniseries gives Bev's marriage far more time than IT Chapter Two does.John Ritter is a better Ben Hanscom than we remembered, Seth Green has had the same face since 1990, and Adam Faraizl plays Eddie Kaspbrak as the kid everyone wants to protect.Mike Hanlon (Tim Reid, Marlon Taylor) and Stan Uris (Richard Masur, Ben Heller) still get overlooked, in every version.IT Miniseries vs IT 2017 and IT Chapter TwoThe miniseries jumps between timelines like the book; Andy Muschietti's films split kids and adults, which made the story easier for a new generation to get into.Kicking the spider to death vs. bullying Bill Skarsgård's Pennywise into nothing: two endings, both a little funny.Mike Hanlon's lore is the backbone of IT: Welcome to Derry, and the Black Spot fire makes a lot more sense with that in mind.What the Miniseries Cut from Stephen King's ITNo Ritual of Chüd, no turtle, and very little cosmic mythology (think Terry Pratchett's Discworld, but horror).The spider loses its eggs, and graphic content gets trimmed for ABC network standards.A 30-year time jump instead of the 27-year cycle, plus a ponytail moment that might be a quiet nod to the book scene nobody wants adapted.Practical Effects and Tim Curry's PennywiseThe skeletal hand grabbing Ben in the Barrens, the I Was a Teenage Werewolf transformation, and the exploding library balloons still look great.Tim Curry's accent slipping when the mask drops is one of the scariest choices in the whole adaptation.Henry Bowers and the Cycle of ViolencePennywise shows up every few decades; Henry Bowers is there every day after school.An abusive father, zero outlets, and a monster happy to use him as its Renfield.Check out : Graeae HorrorCheck out her horror movie festival: Shared Sight Film Festival Follow us & Subscribe:SpotifyApple PodcastTikTokInstagramThreadsGrave Tone Horror Podcast Website Background music by: Steve Swisher from the Producer's Chair Podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Resident Evil 2026 Review: Zach Cregger Pulled It Off
Our Resident Evil 2026 review, and the short version is that Zach Cregger cracked the video game movie. Arthur and Meaghan sat down right after seeing Resident Evil in theatres, and this is one of those episodes where the two of us do not land in the same place at all. Austin Abrams plays Bryan, a medical courier taking a package up to Raccoon City General Hospital on a night that goes very wrong. That is basically the whole premise, and it works. No Leon, no Jill, no legacy characters, just an everyman with a handgun and a delivery to finish. We get into why going off-script inside the Resident Evil universe might be the smarter move after seven previous films, what the practical creature design actually accomplishes, and whether the humour helps or dilutes the horror.Zach Cregger's Resident Evil Reboot and the Off-Script GambleCregger wrote Resident Evil as an original story with Shay Hatten and dropped it inside the game universe instead of remaking a game. No Leon, no Jill, no legacy roster.Eight films in, we argue a tangential character at the eve of the Raccoon City outbreak beats another straight reboot. That is the question of the episode.Meaghan rewatched the 2002 original before this and still found it badly explained, which is a big part of why this one works for her at all.Cregger's Barbarian and Weapons DNA is all over the tone, especially the way the jokes land in the middle of the gore.Austin Abrams Carries the Whole MovieAbrams plays Bryan, a medical courier, and he is on screen for nearly every minute. Arthur's take: without him, there is nothing here.Meaghan's point about the everyman quality is the best argument in the episode. No celebrity sheen, just a guy having the worst night of his life.The wet socks moment. The grumbling to himself. A lot of the humour in this film is one actor alone in a room.Sara Paxton, Cregger's wife, voices Michelle on the phone, continuing her cameo streak from Barbarian and Weapons.Creature Design, Practical Gore and the Rooftop DropThe infected are not tame Resident Evil zombies. They fuse, grow limbs, puke acid, and the final design is the best of the lot.The rooftop drop sequence was done practically with weighted blood bags on cranes, and one of them landed inches from Austin Abrams.The sewer creature is a Whopper-style bruiser, or as Meaghan put it, the fat vampire from Blade.Meaghan's comparison point for the creature's movement: the alpaca creature in Color Out of Space.Video Game DNA: Save Rooms, Padlocks and Weapon UpgradesThe typewriter room got an audible cheer in our theatre. If you have played the games, you know why. If you have not, we explain it.Weapon progression from handgun to hunting rifle to Uzi is straight out of a game loop.The padlock running gag is the tagline: don't lose your keys. Shooting the lock does not work because the game says find the key.The settings work like levels. Hospital, road, farmhouse, Raccoon City, then the hospital building.Scores, Scare Rating and What Is NextScare factor: Fun and Wild. Scare level: Solid Scares. Arthur: 8.5 Digs. Meaghan: 6.5 Digs.Meaghan's criticism is fair and worth hearing: it is a great time with very little under the surface.Coming soon: our Mike P. Nelson interview for Beware Boiuna, in theatres October 2.
