Join AC and his awesome panel of guests (Nicole Mikuzis, Nile Arena, Dodd Alley, Eric Anderson) as they discuss this Technicolor-hued prequel to the surprise 2022 hit X. Mia Goth returns as Pearl, a young, frustrated, and potentially homicidal Texas farm wife with big dreams and a bigger pitchfork, and director West (who co-wrote the screenplay with Goth) does an excellent job balancing the laughs and the lunacy. One of the best horror efforts of 2022.

BLACK SHEEP (2006) movie review

Black Sheep (2006) d. King, Jonathan (New Zealand)

As surely as Peter Jackson drew inspiration from childhood idols Willis O’Brien and Ray Harryhausen, writer/director King’s admiration for his fellow Kiwi filmmaker’s early madcap horror/comedies is apparent in nearly every scene. Much like Bad Taste and Braindead (aka Dead-Alive), the characters are drawn large and loud, then inhabited by appealing, offbeat actors.
