This week, we’re diving into Send Help, the latest horror film from Sam Raimi, a director known for pushing characters to their breaking point with style and cruelty. Set against a stripped-down survival scenario, the film traps its characters in a tense fight against nature — and each other. We talk about Raimi’s direction, the escalating psychological pressure, and how his signature instincts shape the film’s tone without giving anything away. When hope is distant and help may never arrive, survival becomes its own kind of terror.

This week, we’re cruising down David Lynch’s Lost Highway, a nightmarish neo-noir where identity fractures and reality refuses to stay put. We talk about the film’s hypnotic mood, unforgettable imagery, and that constant sense of dread that creeps in without warning. From the sound design to the performances, we dig into what makes Lost Highway such a disorienting, endlessly debatable experience. No easy answers here — just vibes, theories, and the feeling that once you’re on this road, there’s no clear way back.

This week, we’re discussing The Plague from director Charlie Polinger — a stark, unsettling film that trades traditional horror beats for psychological erosion and moral rot. We take a critical look at Polinger’s restrained approach, the film’s oppressive atmosphere, and its focus on cruelty, power, and complicity. From its deliberate pacing to its emotionally distant lens, we debate whether The Plague’s commitment to bleak realism deepens the horror or keeps the audience at arm’s length. Uncomfortable, confrontational, and intentionally austere, this is a film that isn’t interested in entertaining you — it wants to sit with you and make you squirm.

Check out this past episode to get ready for The Bone Temple!
In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we embark on the quarantined islands and plunge back into the post-apocalyptic world with 28 Years Later (2025), the highly anticipated sequel from Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. Set 28 years after the Rage virus outbreak, this film reinvents the franchise with a tight narrative, sharp themes, and a hauntingly immersive atmosphere.
We unpack the evolution of the infected. We explore Jodie Comer’s emotionally charged performance as Isla and how mother–son dynamics ground the story’s emotional core. We also dig into the film’s political undertones including, Brexit symbolism, Covid pandemic responses, gender roles, and the horror of war.
With innovative iPhone-enhanced cinematography and a narrative that blends brutal action with thoughtful allegory, 28 Years Later sets the table for a new trilogy
Is this revival a bold reinvention or a fragmented homage? Tune in as we assess its impact on the genre, its emotional resonance, and whether it out grows the legacy of the original.

This week, we’re breaking down Primate, a creature-feature that leans hard into animal instinct and human arrogance. We take a critical look at the film’s approach to tension, its use (and misuse) of familiar genre tropes, and whether the central concept delivers real menace or just noise. From performances to pacing, we unpack what works, what doesn’t, and why Primate feels like a throwback in some ways — and undercooked in others.

For this bonus episode we take a look at We Bury the Dead, a restrained post-apocalyptic horror film that aims for emotional weight over visceral thrills. While the movie leans heavily into grief, stillness, and atmosphere, we break down whether that approach deepens the horror or dulls its impact. We’ll talk pacing, performances, and the film’s reliance on familiar genre imagery, all without spoiling the story. Thoughtful and somber, We Bury the Dead has a lot on its mind — the question is whether it delivers enough dread to match its ambition.
