Schlockcast: High Tension

DOWNLOAD MP3 (18 min, 11 mb)

Exploiteers have long traded in cheeky warnings or breathless disclaimers pleading with audiences to beware before laying peepers on the flickering horrors ahead. Insta-auteurs Alex Aja and Greg Levasseur could've done the same for High Tension -- and actually mean it. In this schlockcast, yours truly's pulmonary palpitations subside just long enough for a 5-star hurrah over this masterful white-knuckler from France (!?!).

Long out of print, Razor Blade Smile pops out of its digital coffin just in time for Halloween looking and sounding better than ever, which is easy when you've got Eileen Daly to ogle! (Correction: RBS isn't anamorphic.) Yuks and, um, yucks make The Janitor a demented delight. Plus, CineSchlocker idol William Winckler returns with his devilishly nostalgic Frankenstein vs. The Creature From Blood Cove. Listen using the handy Online DVD Talk Radio Player or download the complete schlockcast (18 mins, 11 mb).

Print vs. Podcast: How is the schlockcast format? I've received lots of praise, but are there more longtimers like Scott out there than I realize? Let me know!
