Vicis Interimo: 30 Mins To Kill

Hello and welcome to episode 130! This week we watched 'Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies', starring Bill Oberst Jr. We both felt that Asylum Pictures is on an upswing, and this is probably their best film so far. Short topics include the movies 'Relentless' and 'Hanna', Knott's Scary Farm, too much Birthday, the oh-so-wonderful TV show 'Fringe', and Lithuania's Hill of Crosses. Thanks for joining us! Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies (2012) NR, 96 minutes Not to be confused with the big-screen, vampire hunting mashup, this direct-to-video horror flick has the Great Emancipator battling to save the Union from an attacking horde of Confederate zombies.

Hello and welcome to episode 129! This week we watched 'The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer', which is a prequel to Stephen King's 'Rose Red'. Sadly, the trailer below makes this movie look way more exciting than it actually is. In our Garbage in/Garbage out segment, we discuss two other movies we watched this week... 'Hop' and 'The Order'. This week's Crawling Chaos presents an interesting find at the bottom of the Baltic Sea... a UFO? Maybe! ... thanks for joining us! ;) The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (2003) R 88 minutes This prequel to Stephen King's television miniseries "Rose Red" chronicles Ellen Rimbauer's (Lisa Brenner) doomed marriage to a wealthy, sex-crazed industrialist and their occupation of the enormous Seattle mansion that harbors evil forces. Passages from Rimbauer's diary detail her descent from an innocent and submissive wife into a woman fighting a losing battle against the dark spirits that dwell within her home.

Hello and welcome to Vicis Interimo's mid-week special feature! In this episode we were joined by special guest Walter Rivero, who is an associate producer of the independent sci-fi/horror film Daemonium, which is out of Argentina. We got to learn a lot about Daemonium, which is a feature length film being released in five episodes. This project has no funding, so is only made possible through donations. We learned various ways that people can help or get involved, so if more information is needed please don't hesitate to contact us. The easiest way to help right now is watch episode 1 on Youtube without skipping the advertisements (remember to turn on the closed captioning for subtitles). Please enjoy the first episode and watch for episode 2 in November! Thanks for joining us for this special episode! Plot Outline: The story of Daemonium begins in an alternate universe to ours, in which Magic and Technology coexist with humans and demons. Thought up as a 5 Chapter Saga, in Daemonium we see Razor rise to p

Hello and welcome to episode 127! This week we discuss H.P. Lovecraft's 'Dagon', which is actually based on HPL's story 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth'.

Hello and welcome to episode 125! This week we return to our 30 minute format, as well as to our original show name 'Vicis Interimo: 30 Minutes to Kill'. We decided this format works best for us, and appreciate those who reviewed the show and shared their feelings regarding a shorter 'bite-sized' show. Because of listener feedback, we've learned that there is a lack of shorter shows out there, as well as a demand! ... so, thank you! :) This week we discuss the 2012 film 'The Woman in Black'. We decided to include a spoiler this episode, but added it to the very end with a warning beforehand. It was just too hard to not talk about the ending! Short mentions include 'The Goonies', 'Cowboys and Aliens', 'The Hunger Games' (both the movie and the novels), and 2001's 'Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidora'. This week's Crawling Chaos segment features a little bit of whimsy courtesy of mother nature.

Hello and welcome to our special episode 124! This week we record on the road, as well as in the studio, and review 1983's 'Sleepaway Camp'.

Sleepaway Camp (1983) R After a horrible boating accident kills her family, Angela, a shy and sullen young girl, moves in with her eccentric aunt Martha, alongside her protective cousin Ricky. One summer, Martha sends the kids to Camp Arawak. Soon after their arrival, a series of bizarre and increasingly violent accidents begins to claim the lives of various campers. Who is the twisted individual behind these murders? The disclosure of the murderer's identity is the most shocking climax in the history of American cinema. 'Sleepaway Camp' trailer... ***SPOILER ALERT*** be aware there is a risk of spoiling the ending, as people have posted it all down the side of youtube... we recom

Hello and welcome to episode 123! This week we discuss the 2001 'low budget' film 'She Creature'. Thank you to one of our listeners for bringing up the topic of mermaids! :) Other short mentions this week include 'Super 8' (watch out... this includes spoilers!), 'The Running Man', the anime series 'Deadman Wonderland', and the Hunger Games trilogy (novels). The day we recorded this episode, we were getting ready to leave for an all night film festival at the historical 'Hollywood Forever Cemetery', so we talk a bit about the event and the cemetery's history. While at the film festival, we enjoyed watching the 1983 movie 'Sleepaway Camp', so watch for a special episode this week as we discuss the movie and the event itself. Thanks for joining us! She Creature (2001) R, 89 minutes Carnival workers Angus (Rufus Sewell) and Lily (Carla Gugino) befriend a wealthy old sailor, who shows them his deadly prize: a real, live mermaid held captive in a tank. Eager for fame and fortune, Angus and his crew steal the sea

Hello and welcome to episode 122! This week we discuss the psychological thriller 'Identity' (is it horror? .. we think so!) and 1988's 'The Blob'. We also have more to say about last week's 'A Haunting in Salem', and respond to several other reviews of this movie. Short topics this week include the independent film 'Albert Nobbs', the outstanding performances of Glenn Close, PS2's Silent Hill 2, and diatomaceous earth. We also have a short discussion on our movie rating system and whether or not we should do away with it. Lori thinks we should, but Madsaxxon says no. Whatever. .... anyway.... thanks for joining us this week; we're happy to have you! Also, a big welcome to our new listeners in England, Australia, and the Philippines! :) Identity (2003) R 90 minutes Complete strangers stranded at a remote desert motel during a raging storm soon find themselves the target of a deranged murderer.

Welcome to episode 121! This week we cover two films featuring the amazing Bill Oberst Jr... 'A Haunting in Salem' and the short film 'The Beast'. We wrap up a few things from last week's episode and have included a link to the 'New Blood' documentary (which we feel is a must watch) so check it out!

Welcome to episode 111! This week we discuss the movie 'Godsend', which we agree is more of a sci-fi thriller than anything else. This movie has quality performances, but maybe falls short in other areas. Our Garbage in/Garbage out segment features 'The Green Lantern', 'A Woman, a Gun, and a Noodle Shop', and the family movies 'Nanny McPhee Returns; and 'Gnomeo and Juliet'. Madsaxxon has started playing 'Silent Hill:Shattered Memories' for the Wii, so we have some things to say about it... and the Crawling Chaos segment returns with a reference to the 1980's movie 'Weekend at Bernie's'. We'd like to thank Slug again for joining us last week, and look forward to him joining us again soon! You can find a link to his podcast below, as well as a link to the Dolls of Despair's podcast, where they interview Bill Oberst Jr. Thanks for joining us this week, and please join us next time for the movie 'Husk'! Godsend: (2004) PG-13 When their son Adam (Cameron Bright) dies in a terrible accident the day after his birt

Welcome to episode 110! This week we have a very special guest join us... Slug from the Slugcast! It was great having him on the show and discussing the Vincent Price classic 'The Abominable Dr. Phibes'. We look forward to his return in a few weeks when we discuss the sequel 'Dr Phibes Rises Again'. Short mentions in this episode includes the movies 'Blade Runner', 'Team America: World Police', and the classic 1970's TV show 'Ark 2'. Our Garbage In/Garbage Out segment includes 'Splice', 'The Wizard of Oz', and 'The Big Bang Theory'. Lori's Crawling Chaos returns this week as well... thanks for the inspiration, Slug! ;) The Abominable Dr. Phibes: (NR) A doctor, scientist, organist, and biblical scholar, Dr. Anton Phibes, seeks revenge on the nine doctors he considers responsible for his wife's death.

Welcome to episode 109! This week we review the new 2011/2012 movie 'Silent House', which is in theatres now. This movie had some unique qualities, as well as an excellent performance by Elizabeth Olsen. We also can't help but discuss how rude people are in movie theatres, and how it's almost not even worth going! Other short topics include the TV shows 'Face-Off' (season 2), 'Monster Man', 'Missing', 'Alcatraz', and 'Person of Interest'... are these worth a watch, or no? One thing we agree on is the Stephen King story 'N.' which can be seen and heard on You tube (find the link below). Thanks for joining us this week! We hope that our sound quality issues are behind us, and that this episode is enjoyable. Please join us next week for a special episode featuring Slug from the Slugcast podcast. We look forward to having him join us! :) Silent House (2011, 2012) R Trapped inside her family's lakeside retreat, a young woman finds she is unable to contact the outside world as events become increasingly ominous in

Welcome to episode 108! This week we review the 2004 Japanese film 'Marebito', by director Takashi Shimizu (Ju-On, The Grudge). We also watched Diary of a Wimpy Kid this week, since last week we mentioned the sequel. Other short topics include the TV show 'Ink Master', and the quirky movie 'Adaptation' starring Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep. These generate some discussion on reality TV shows and whether or not Nicolas Cage is a good actor (he really is!). In the next couple weeks we'll be having Slug (from the Slugcast) join us for a review of Vincent Price's 'Abominable Dr. Phibes'. We're looking forward to it! ... Thanks for joining us this week! Marebito: (2004) R Masuoka (Shinya Tsukamoto), a fragile cameraman who's afraid of the unknown that he's certain lurks around every corner, is the last person one would expect to rise to the occasion when courage is needed. But that he does when he winds up with an assignment that has him looking into an urban myth about specters that supposedly haunt Tokyo's subt

After two weeks off the air, we've returned to discuss Wes Craven's 'My Soul to Take'.

Welcome to episode 106! This week's movie is the 1977 film 'Rabid' by David Cronenberg. Other movies discussed include 'Lost in Translation', 'Underworld: Awakening', and 'Rio'. Animes are also a short topic this week as we mention 'Darker Than Black', 'Megazone 23', and how 'Fullmetal Alchemist' and 'Cowboy Beebop' raised the bar. The TV show 'Alcatraz' is another topic of discussion, as we try to decide how we feel about it. What makes a tv show or movie really good? We agree on one thing for sure... characters that you care about. Thanks for joining us this week! We appreciate it. :) Rabid(1977) R After a horrific motorcycle crash, an injured woman (Marilyn Chambers) receives experimental surgery that saves her life, but side effects leave her thirsty for blood -- and give her a ghastly capability to extract it. Worse, her victims become just as bloodthirsty! Soon, the entire city is thrown into chaos. Bleak, disturbing and gloriously low-budget, this gruesome chiller from writer-director

Welcome to episode 105! This week's movie is Paranormal Activity 3. We also discuss the new HBO series 'Luck', the TV show 'Grimm', and whether or not 'Person of Interest' has jumped the shark. Other short topics include Bonanza, Dick Francis, and the Wii. Thanks for joining us this week!

We apologize for missing last week's episode and appreciate you joining us for this one!

We also make quick mentions of the Fox series Fringe and the HBO series 'Big love'. Thanks for joining us this week... Dead Alive: UR, 1992 Although it's easy to admire the maniacal glee of director Peter Jackson's bloodfest, Dead Alive is nonetheless intense and profoundly disturbing. When a Sumatran rat-monkey bites Lionel Cosgrove's mother, she's transformed into a zombie. She begins killing (and transforming) the entire town while Lionel races to keep things under control. Events culminate at a house party that turns into a blood-drenched zombie buffet.

Welcome to episode 101! This week we discuss the 2011 movie 'The Rite', starring Anthony Hopkins. Since this show was recorded on Christmas Eve, and we had a chaotic week leading up to it, we had only a few topics to discuss... The terrific science fiction movie 'Sunshine' (starring Lori's favorite Cillian Murphy), the season finale of 'American Horror Story', and our Christmas Eve trip to Knott's Berry Farm. Thanks for joining us... and Happy Holidays to everyone! :) The Rite 201, PG-13, 112 minutes Despite his conviction that demonic possession is just so much supersitious mumbo jumbo, Catholic priest-in-training Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue) journeys to Rome to attend a special exorcism school being taught at the Vatican. Before long, true-believer Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins) introduces the young cleric to the devil's power firsthand. Director Mikael Håfström helms this graphic supernatural thriller inspired by a true story. 'The Rite' trailer... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhHnP-9iekg 'Sunshin
