Episode 321: Rare Asian vampires & twisted fairy tales

  • Resumen

  • There are not many weeks that go by that we end up discussing news of a horror reboot. This show we talk about the Urban Legends reboot. There is not much news as of yet, but it is definitely coming. We talk about our memories of the movie, why it tends to be overlooked, and whether we are looking forward to it.

    During our last show, we talked about the awesome marketing behind Weapons. The advertising blitz for the film continues. This week a two hour YouTube video was released of security camera footage. There was also a bonkers trailer. The question becomes, when can you have too much of a good thing?

    Horror movies tend to be based around folklore. So it is not that surprising that there are not that many vampire films from Asia. Daydreamers is one of the first vampire movies to come out of Vietnam. Understandably, the story is a predictable one about a group of bloodsuckers who are fighting the urge to kill humans.

    There is no doubting how stylish Daydreamers is. And since there are so few vampire stories from that part of the world, it is easy to forgive many of the missteps. However, there is only so much you can overlook. Poor writing and pacing ruing what would be a flawed, but passable watch.

    Taking popular children’s stories and putting a horror spin on them is nothing new. We talk about the recent glut of these types of movies and why people do not really care about them anymore. This leads to our feature presentation, the body horror retelling of Cinderella, The Ugly Stepsister.

    The plot is basically the same story everyone knows, but told from the point of view of one of the cruel stepsisters. Still, The Ugly Stepsister is its own tale. Though it covers many of the themes of the source material, the fact that it is told from a different perspective gives everything a different meaning. It is filled with surprises and is disgusting in all the best ways.
