Episode Description
Unrewatchable horror movies, we all have a list. This week Arthur and Meaghan dig into the horror films they love but will never, ever put on again: Hereditary, Hounds of Love, The Mist, Gerald's Game, Hostel, Annihilation, Mandy, The Ring, Silent Hill, and more.
And the thing is, being unrewatchable isn't always a knock. Some of these are genuinely excellent films. The reasons vary: some are too dark, some hit physically wrong, some only work when you don't know the ending, and some are just so stylistically unhinged you need a very specific headspace to return to them. They go through all of it.
