Rage Never Dies: 28 Years Later
30/06/2025 Duración: 01h43minIn this episode of Horror Junkies, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos, carnage, and quiet despair of 28 Years Later, the long-awaited third entry in the iconic 28 Days Later saga, directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland.Set decades after the original outbreak, 28 Years Later reintroduces us to a world forever altered by the Rage virus, where infection isn’t just a threat—it’s generational trauma. We break down the bleak beauty of the film’s direction, the haunting performances, and the terrifying new types of infected that make the original seem tame by comparison.We talk legacy: how 28 Years Later brings the trilogy full circle, where it stands in the pandemic horror canon, and how real-world horrors—from societal collapse to predators in power—linger just beneath the surface. Yes, we even touch on that infamous connection to Jimmy Savile, whose real-life depravity adds an unexpected layer of discomfort to the film’s finale.Viral rage. Abandoned cities. A new generation born into ruin. This is

Bring Her Back (2025)
02/06/2025 Duración: 01h32minIn this episode of Horror Junkies, we’re stepping into the quiet dread and emotional devastation of Bring Her Back—the 2025 psychological horror from the Philippou brothers, the twisted minds behind Talk to Me.What starts as a slow-burning foster care drama erupts into a disturbing exploration of grief, obsession, and the dark rituals we use to try and cheat loss. We break down Sally Hawkins’ haunting performance as Laura, a grieving mother whose home becomes a nightmare for two orphaned siblings. Is she saving them—or preparing them for something far more sinister?We unpack the film’s gut-wrenching symbolism, its rural Australian gothic atmosphere, and how the Philippou brothers elevate horror by grounding it in deep emotional trauma. Plus, we compare Bring Her Back to other grief-driven horror films and talk about what makes this one feel uniquely devastating.Rituals. Reality fractures. A love that won’t let go. One of the year’s most emotionally brutal horror films.Check out the trailer for The Willowbrook

Clown in a Cornfield & Final Destination Bloodlines
26/05/2025 Duración: 01h55minIn this episode of Horror Junkies, we’re diving headfirst into two blood-soaked corners of modern horror: Clown in a Cornfield and Final Destination: Bloodlines. One brings back the masked madness of the slasher heyday, while the other resurrects death’s most unforgiving franchise with fresh terror and fate-fueled dread.First, we stalk the rows of Clown in a Cornfield, where Frendo the Clown isn’t just killing teens—he’s enforcing a warped version of small-town morality. We break down its themes of generational conflict, performative justice, and how the novel slashes its way into the modern slasher canon.Then, we follow the ominous signs and blood-slick premonitions in Final Destination: Bloodlines, a return to form that asks whether fate can ever truly be avoided. We dissect the creative kills, twisted callbacks, and whether this entry brings new life—or just new victims—to the legacy of inevitable death.Two killers. Two tones. One unmissable episode.
