THE UNDERTONE is one of this year’s most talked about films. Ian Tuason wrote and directed this lean, minimalist supernatural horror film that seems to hit with some people and miss with other. Listen and learn what the NECROMANIACS think of Tuason’s debut feature film. If you want to drop us a line, hit us up on the NECROPHONE 908-913-0782. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “Tomb” – Christbane
Chuck Norris is a legit action hero who first hit the scene in THE WAY OF THE DRAGON where he faced Bruce Lee in one of the most iconic fight scenes in the history or martial arts films. After a string of hit with A FORCE OF ONE, THE OCTAGON and AN EYE FOR AN EYE, he tried his hand at a horror film. In 1981’s SILENT RAGE, Norris plays a familiar role as a sheriff in a small town trying to maintain order as an invincible psycho goes on a rampage. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “Beneath the Shadows” – TSOL
It’s another brutal film from Down Under. This week, we discuss the Father of Ozploitation films, WAKE IN FRIGHT. Long considered a “Lost Film,” Wake in Fright was released in 1971 and partly do to some controversy, languished in obscurity until it started gaining cult status in the early 90’s. Intro: “We Can’t Be Beaten” – Rose Tattoo Outro: “The Company of Wolves” – Werewolves
We’re having a great time exploring the Neo Noir subgenre, so this week we dive in AMERICAN GIGOLO. In 1980 Paul Schrader (TAXI DRIVER) delivers a brooding crime drama starring Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton which established Gere as a leading man. It tells the story of a high end male escort, murder, kinky sex and stylish visuals. If you want to drop us a line, hit us up on the NECROPHONE 908-913-0782. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “Call Me” – Blondie
This week, we cover PRIMATE, the 2026 chimp-goes-wild film. Directed by Johannes Roberts, who brought us 2017’s 47 Meters Down, this harrowing tale combines nature horror with some basic slasher tropes.

We’re going underground this week. We’ll be visiting the 9 Circles of Hell with 2014’s AS ABOVE SO BELOW. Directed by John Erick Dowdle, this came out in the midst of an onslaught of “found footage” horrors. Additionally, we have some callers and the normal rundown of stuff we’ve been checking out.

This week’s feature is the harrowing REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, the 2001 Darren Aronofsky directed film adapted from the Hubert Selby Jr. 1978 novel. The film features top-notch performances by Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans and tells aa brutal story or addiction, human depravity and the downward spiral. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Interlude: “Ghosts of Things to Come” – Clint Mansell Outro: “Crimin’ & Dealin’” – Clint Mansell
This week, we have another one that has been under consideration for a long time. 52 PICKUP is a grimy epic directed by John Frankenheimer and stars veteran actors Roy Scheider and Ann Margret. Released in 1986, this film flew mostly under the radar and garnered a split opinion from Siskel and Ebert back in the day mostly over the purported brutality and sleaziness of the film. This one slots nicely into our Neo Noir project. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “In My Dreams” – Dokken
