Mother and son team Mom and Mac discuss, analyze, dissect and explore international horror movies. Conversations are casual but spoiler-heavy. We take turns choosing a genre or subgenre of horror and pairing an international film with an American one. Past episodes have included: Funny Games, One Missed Call, Let the Right One In/Let Me In. Genres we have covered are Animal Attack (BOAR from Australia and TREMORS); Creepy Kids (GOODNIGHT, MOMMY from Austria and ORPHAN); Battle Royale-type films (BATTLE ROYALE from Japan and THE BELKO EXPERIMENT); Haunted Houses (THE HOUSE AT THE END OF TIME from Venezuela and BEETLEJUICE). Special episodes feature foundational international horror films or guests who come on to highlight a film that "Means the World of Horror" to them. https://linktr.ee/WorldofHorror

WoHo's This week we watched "Ringu" from Japan and "The Ring" from the US.
We had a little technical difficulty just at the end of the discussion between Mom and Mac. For the record, Mom is permanently scarred by the horse scene in "The Ring" and we both gave the remake 3 video tapes and the orig 4 video tapes although we thought there were definite problems with both movies (and that both were pretty great, too)...
