The Basement Boys are back for another round of entertainment -- and entertaining -- radio to kick off your September. Just what have they got on deck this week, when they take to the Radio NL 610 AM airwaves at 10:05 this morning? Reviews of two big releases and an interview with a veteran genre director, that's what! Jason sat down with Greg Lamberson, writer/director of the new horror flick Widow's Point starring Craig Sheffer, which he reviewed on our last episode. He and Greg discuss Widow's Point and its literary origins, and how the film is a far cry from his past horror films. Then The Dynamic Duo put the first big release to come down the pike in a long time -- Bill & Ted Face the Music -- on the chopping block. Do they deem this sequel, which was a brewin' for some 29 years, worth the wait? They also tackle Megan Fox's killer lion movie Rogue, and a slew of other films too legion to count. But one of them is an exorcist documentary from Willi...

People are fascinated by the filmmaking process, which I find interesting because, having been involved in the making of a few films, it's more frustrating than interesting. But there are some movies with truly storied histories, and Shudder's new five-part documentary series looks at the urban legends surrounding some popular horror movies. The series kicks off with The Exorcist, a movie alleged to have caused audiences to faint, lured demons into movie theatres, and even had a murderer among the crew. Director Jay Cheel approaches the subject with an open mind, and includes interviews with cast members Linda Blair and her demonic counterpart, Eileen Dietz. He also talks with journalists, historians, and a real-life exorcist about The Exorcist, it's cultural impact, and the stories that surround it. I appreciate how Cheel isn't interested in rumours, but in getting to the facts as best he can. We learn Exorcist director William Friedkin could be a real jerk t...

There's been a lot of buzz about Jennifer Kent's debut feature The Babadook, a dark tale of a tormented mother and son. But tormented by what? That's the question they, and us the audience, are handed early on in The Babadook. Is finding out worth the watch? Stick with me! A single mother, plagued by the violent death of her husband, battles with her son's fear that a monster is lurking in their house. She soon discovers a sinister presence is all around her.

Being a big fan of director William Friedkin 's work, I was very excited for this release. So, of course I backordered it. The wait was well worth it. The story surrounds four men who have nowhere to go and are exiled to South America and working as laborers. In the first 30 minutes we learn about them and how they came to be in such a squalid place. I have to say here, that the scenery is tangible . . . You can feel the sweat and the dirt. It's beautifully filmed.

Basement contributor Matt Bellamy has taken it upon himself to watch and review at least one horror movie a day for the month of October . . . because he's awesome that way! And Bellamy thinks it's an excellent day for an exorcism. And the runner-up goes to...! Not to say that this is the 2nd best anything, as a matter of fact, this is actually my favourite scary movie of all time. What's great about The Exorcist is that it takes its material and subject matter deadly serious, there's no screwing around here and no one is having fun, it's just straight up terror! That's what I love about it, and it's also something you do not see in many modern horror movies these days where everything is sold with that young audience in mind where as here it's an adult horror film for an adult audience, screw PG-13! This was also the first movie to really deal with exorcisms which has be...
