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?

We’re keeping it spoiler-free as we unpack what makes this supernatural thriller such a haunting experience.

Grab your rotary phones — this week we’re talking The Black Phone 2! The Grabber might be gone, but the darkness left behind hasn’t hung up just yet.

Expect atmosphere, tension, and a few chills as we decide if The Black Phone 2 answers horror fans’ calls for more — or if it should’ve gone straight to voicemail.

This week on Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we take a dive into Bone Lake (2025), the latest erotic horror-thriller from Mercedes Bryce Morgan. What starts as a steamy double-date at a remote lake house quickly devolves into a tangled web of deceit, seduction, and violence—but despite its promising setup, Bone Lake often struggles to find real depth beneath the surface.
We talk about the film’s stylish cinematography and strong performances, but also the uneven pacing, repetitive tension beats, and third-act chaos that feels more confusing than cathartic. For a story that wants to explore power, desire, and danger, it sometimes mistakes atmosphere for substance.
Still, there’s something to admire in its ambition: a small-scale horror about human impulses and the monsters they create. Bone Lake may not make a splash, but it leaves a ripple worth talking about.

In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we dive into V/H/S/Halloween (2025), the latest entry in the V/H/S anthology horror series arriving just in time for October. Released on Shudder and produced by Bloody Disgusting, this episode explores a series of Halloween-themed videotape horror segments, each directed by a different filmmaker.
We’ll unpack the strengths: standout segments like “Kidprint” (directed by Alex Ross Perry), which has already drawn attention for its deeply unsettling psychological horror grounded in realism. We also discuss other vignettes such as “Home Haunt”, “Fun Size”, “Ut Supra Sic Infra”, “Diet Phantasma”, and “Coochie Coochie Coo”—each bringing a distinct flavor of dread.
We’ll also talk about how V/H/S/Halloween fits into the larger V/H/S franchise—how it continues the found footage tradition, how it leans into Halloween iconography, and how it both leans on and subverts anthology horror tropes. While not every segment resonates, the film has been praised for balancing camp, gore, and horror tone. On Rotten Tomatoes, reviewers note it “knows precisely how to handle the switch in tone” between silly and dark.
If you’re into anthology horror, found footage vibes, or Halloween-flavored frights, this episode is for you—grab your VHS stack and tune in.

In this episode we dig into Good Boy (2025), a haunted-house horror told from the point of view of a loyal dog named Indy — an unusual, emotionally driven take on the genre that foregrounds animal instincts as our guide through dread.
Director Ben Leonberg—who co-wrote the film—casts his real-life dog Indy in the title role , creating a rare canine-led emotional core.
We’ll cover why the film’s perspective shift works (and where it strains), the standout practical filmmaking choices that sell a dog-centered POV, the performances that ground the story, and whether Good Boy balances heart and horror without tipping into gimmick.
