We tackle our first found-footage horror film, and, well ... not everyone's convinced. We analyze Adam Robitel's 2014 The Taking of Deborah Logan: "An elderly woman battling Alzheimer's disease agrees to let a film crew document her condition, but what they discover is something far more sinister going on." We argue about the relationship between disease & horror, narrative & structure, improvisation & scripting, among other things.

Episode 11: MARTYRS
In this episode we tackle Pascal Laughier's notoriously brutal entry into the New French Extremity movement from 2008, Martyrs: "A young woman's quest for revenge against the people who kidnapped and tormented her as a child leads her and a friend on a terrifying journey into a living hell." Not everyone was so terrified or impressed! Our conversation gets more than a little crazed. Which might match the film quite well . . . Music by Ken Kawamura, of course.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN WATCHING #4
On this episode of WWBW we discuss The Changeling, MirrorMask, The Experiment, Lo, The Devil's Carnival, Audrey Rose, Chloe, Experimenter, and more. We compare Jennifer Carpenter to Marsha Mason, Peter Sarsgaard to Ewan McGregor, and because this was recorded before his tragic passing, Monica waxes rhapsodic over up-and-comer Anton Yelchin.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN WATCHING #3
On this episode, four of us recommend 2 films each (with one DO NOT WATCH warning)--and of course, because it's us, we mention about 45 other films too. Recommendations include Bug, Inside, Scream Blacula Scream, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, Occulus, Pet Sematary, What We Do in the Shadows---and a discussion on the book and film adaptations of Let the Right One In. We'll keep the DO NOT WATCH warning a surprise, but we (except for Monica) apologize in advance to Paz de la Huerta.

Episode 10: I SAW THE DEVIL
Welcome back to another episode of What Doesn't Kill Us, where we pick one horror film to critique, analyze, argue and rate. In this episode we take the plunge into extreme Korean thrillers with Jee-woon Kim's incredibly violent I Saw the Devil from 2010: "A secret agent exacts revenge on a serial killer through a series of captures and releases."
