We cover one of the most disturbing films to come out in the last ten years. Tune in for 2023’s LA MESITA DEL COMEDOR a.ka. THE COFFEE TABLE, a film that has come up as a recommendation from the Necro Phone callers. Caye Casa has created a excruciating exploration of tension and anxiety in this absurdist horror film.

THE UNDERTONE is one of this year’s most talked about films. Ian Tuason wrote and directed this lean, minimalist supernatural horror film that seems to hit with some people and miss with other. Listen and learn what the NECROMANIACS think of Tuason’s debut feature film. If you want to drop us a line, hit us up on the NECROPHONE 908-913-0782. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “Tomb” – Christbane
Chuck Norris is a legit action hero who first hit the scene in THE WAY OF THE DRAGON where he faced Bruce Lee in one of the most iconic fight scenes in the history or martial arts films. After a string of hit with A FORCE OF ONE, THE OCTAGON and AN EYE FOR AN EYE, he tried his hand at a horror film. In 1981’s SILENT RAGE, Norris plays a familiar role as a sheriff in a small town trying to maintain order as an invincible psycho goes on a rampage. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “Beneath the Shadows” – TSOL
It’s another brutal film from Down Under. This week, we discuss the Father of Ozploitation films, WAKE IN FRIGHT. Long considered a “Lost Film,” Wake in Fright was released in 1971 and partly do to some controversy, languished in obscurity until it started gaining cult status in the early 90’s. Intro: “We Can’t Be Beaten” – Rose Tattoo Outro: “The Company of Wolves” – Werewolves
We’re having a great time exploring the Neo Noir subgenre, so this week we dive in AMERICAN GIGOLO. In 1980 Paul Schrader (TAXI DRIVER) delivers a brooding crime drama starring Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton which established Gere as a leading man. It tells the story of a high end male escort, murder, kinky sex and stylish visuals. If you want to drop us a line, hit us up on the NECROPHONE 908-913-0782. Intro: “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro: “Call Me” – Blondie
This week, we cover PRIMATE, the 2026 chimp-goes-wild film.
