Jason versus The Hallow

After weeks of checking out the latest in mainstream, comic-book entertainment, it was refreshing to go back to what The Basement was built on -- the little-seen, B-grade horror movie. And what better flick to dip the wick into than The Hallow. Not a question, a statement. The Hallow is a 2015 Irish horror movie about a family that is forced to fight demonic creatures after moving into a remote mill house. It puts a modern spin on old Irish myths, while planting an infant child smack dab in the middle of the mayhem.

Citadel and The Awakening

Comin' at yah from across the pond -- a little corner of the globe where people know a thing or two about scary stories -- come two tales guaranteed to put the FEAR into you. First up is Ciaran Foy's movie about an agoraphobic father who teams up with a renegade priest to save his daughter from the clutches of a gang of twisted feral children who committed an act of violence against his family years earlier. Scared yet? You should be. Then The Basement Dwellers travel back in time to 1921 England as hoax exposer Florence Cathcart visits a boarding school to explain sightings of a child ghost. OK. Now you're scared, right? Right!?!? Plus, Jason and Shawn take a few moments of their not-so-precious time to talk about movies that should be remade. That's right, there are a few flicks out there that could stand to be retooled a little bit, and the Basementites are going to tell you what they are. So tune in at 10 p.m. PST at 92.5FM CFBX Kamloops and on...
