This week, we’re stepping inside The Housemaid — a domestic thriller that proves the scariest secrets are often hiding in plain sight. We break down the film’s unsettling power dynamics, simmering tension, and the slow creep of dread that builds behind closed doors. Without spoiling the twists, we’ll talk performances, atmosphere, and why The Housemaid taps into a very specific kind of discomfort that lingers long after the credits roll.

We’re heading back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza in this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's as we take on Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the video game–turned–horror franchise. With the animatronics returning and the mythology expanding, the film aims to build on the eerie foundation of the first movie while pushing the story deeper into the dark history of Freddy’s.
We discuss how the sequel ups the tension, expands the lore for longtime fans, and leans harder into the unsettling atmosphere that made the games so iconic. Does Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 strike a better balance between jump scares and storytelling? And how well does it serve both newcomers and die-hard fans of the franchise?
Grab your flashlight, check the security cameras, and join us as we break down the scares, the world-building, and where the series might be heading next.

For this bonus episode we dive into Dust Bunny, a dark fantasy horror film that takes a familiar childhood fear and twists it into something far more sinister. Blending creature horror with fairy-tale menace, the movie explores what happens when imaginary monsters refuse to stay imaginary.
We talk about the film’s eerie visual style, its off-kilter tone, and how it walks the line between whimsy and nightmare. Does Dust Bunny successfully tap into primal fears, or does its ambition outweigh its bite? Either way, it’s a strange, memorable entry in modern horror that invites discussion.
Join us as we unpack the scares, the symbolism, and where Dust Bunny lands in the ever-growing landscape of unconventional horror.

This week, we’re digging into one of the most quietly terrifying films to ever come out of Japan: Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Cure. Often called a cornerstone of the J-horror wave, Cure delivers dread not through jump scares, but through mood, ambiguity, and an unsettling sense that something unknowable is quietly rotting beneath the surface.
We break down how the film uses hypnotic pacing, minimalist horror, and a killer who barely lifts a finger to create one of the most psychologically disturbing experiences of the ’90s. From its bleak portrayal of violence to its refusal to give clean answers, Cure feels less like a mystery and more like a slow infection of the mind — and we’re here to talk about why it works so well.

This week, we’re diving into Keeper (2025), the newest nightmare from Osgood Perkins — a filmmaker who’s made a name out of quiet dread, eerie atmosphere, and characters unraveling in the shadows. In this spoiler-free episode, we unpack the film’s creeping tension, its bleak sense of isolation, and the signature Perkins touch that makes every silence feel threatening. We’ll talk tone, performances, and how Keeper fits into his growing legacy of beautifully unsettling horror. If you’re into slow-burn terror with a sting, consider this your warning: something in this film is always watching… and always waiting.

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's we dissect Frankenstein (2025), the long-gestating passion project from Guillermo del Toro. With a star-studded cast including Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, this gothic horror-sci-fi adaptation of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus hits theaters October 17 and streams on Netflix November 7.
We explore the film’s breathtaking visuals, eloquent themes of creation and abandonment, and standout performance by Elordi that critics agree breathes tragic humanism into a classic monster.
But we also question whether the film’s extended runtime, tonal heaviness, and narrative deviations from the novel carry the emotional weight they promise—or if the spectacle overshadows the story. With tension between expectations and delivery, this episode asks: is Frankenstein reborn, or merely reassembled?
