spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

where were you that april if you weren't seeing disturbia (2007) in theaters? it was the year of shia, and a new creepy classic was emerging out of the mid-aughts. this flick is a quintessential millennial movie, an updated take on hitchcock's rear window (though legally we should warn you that we're not speaking literally, because there's like legit drama there). it also shares a name with an iconic rihanna song that'll get stuck in your head faster than you can ask, “what's wrong with me? why do I feel like this?" on our latest episode of spooky tuesday, we're doing our best not to break into song too much as we throw it back to our earlier horror days.

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher

Hateration log, supplemental:

BULLETPROOF HEART (1994/1995): Very peculiar film noir (sometimes entitled KILLER on home video releases), directed by Mark Malone from a script by Gordon Melbourne, about a soulful hitman named Mick (Anthony LaPaglia), whose assignment to kill a woman named Fiona (Mimi Rogers) becomes the world's weirdest first date. Mick and his half-bright assistant Archie (Matt Craven) soon discover that, far from trying to hide or escape, Fiona — who has stolen a lot of money from the mob and is now threatening to go to the D.A. — is positively desperate for someone to put her out of her misery, responding to her putative assassin with alternating fits of morbid fascination, glib taunting, sadomasochistic seductiveness, weary melancholy, and at least one catatonic fit. Mick finds himself increasingly reluctant to go through with the job, much to the frustration of both his target and his boss (Peter Boyle).

The odd scenario and repeated tonal shifts are strange enough to hold your attention throughout, but the story never really finds its groove: It might have worked as either a sexy black comedy or as a tragic romance, but it keeps trying to do both and thus not entirely succeeding as either. It doesn't help that the eventual explanation of why Fiona is so keen to die is unpersuasive, or that the ending seems to be setting up an additional twist that's not ultimately forthcoming. CONTAINS LESBIANS? Nope. VERDICT: Memorably odd, but it can't quite decide what it wants to be.

Under the Bridge (prod. Quinn Shephard).

Hulu's miniseries adaptation of novelist Rebecca Godfrey's non-fiction true crime book chronicling the 1997 beating death of fourteen-year-old Indo-Canadian teenager Reena Virk in Saanich conjures up bad memories of moral panic from British Columbians who remember the lurid details of the shocking murder. While both trying to maintain fidelity to the real-life tragedy, the series plays with the timelines, characters, and chronology to make the events more dramatic and neat despite the inexplicable circumstances. Godrey as a character (played by Riley Keough) plays a key role in understanding the young perpetrators' motives while looping in the the police investigation led by Lily Gladstone as a composite Indigenous cop character.

Jacob´s Ladder (1990)

Der Postbote Jacob trägt viele Laster mit sich, seien es seine Zeit im Vietnam-Krieg oder den Verlust seines Sohnes durch einen Autounfall. In seinem Alltag plagen ihn weiße Gestalten, die ihn zu verfolgen scheinen.

Er verfällt vermehrt in Erinnerungen an das Leben mit seiner Exfrau und seinem Kind, ebenso bizarren Wahnvorstellungen. (9/10)
