Rabbit Trap
Today Griffey and Dandino belly flop in to the fairy circle that is Rabbit Trap. They discuss the spell the film puts us under with sparse settings and poetic tradgedy, how to handle an odd pushy little kid and his rabbit offerings, and what the mossy fairy tale ending wants us to take away from the movie. Dev Patel always has a keen sense for interesting material and this is no exception. Join the pod in this art house sound scape. Synopsis: Married couple Daphne and Darcy Davenport are two musicians who moved from London to a cottage in Wales to complete their new album. By accident they record a mystical sound never heard before and gradually disconnect from reality. Starring: Dev Patel, Rosy McEwen, Jade Croot Directed by Bryn Chainey Youtube: https://youtu.be/kEnbBvugXqY Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod

Exit 8
Today Griffey, Heath and Sam scour a scary subway tunnel for anomalies in Exit 8 now on Shudder. They discuss the rules of the film and how they keep the audience stuck in the narrative, how the journey could have used more clues as to the real world stakes of this journey, and which of the horrors the tunnel unfurls scared them to their core. Liminal space is all the rage in the horror community right now. While this film doesn't quite hit the MESSED UP heights of Backrooms, there are moments, if you look close that do. Synopsis: A man becomes increasingly desperate when he realizes he is trapped in a subway station, needing to complete a mission to get out. Starring: Kazunari Ninomiya, Yamato Kochi, Naru Asanuma Directed by Genki Kawamura Support the show on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/messedupmoviespod
