End Credits #315 - October 4, 2023 (It Lives Inside)

This week on End Credits we get spooky. Halloween is around the corner, and by "around the corner" we mean in the next several weeks. True, there's still a whole month to go before the day, but we begin this episode by visiting a streaming channel that's spooky 365 days a year. And then, in the review, we get spookier still with one of the latest horror movie releases.

This Wednesday, September 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:

Three From Shudder. It's our first show for October, which as you all know is Halloween Month. (Yes, it's a month now.) Did you know that there's a whole streaming channel dedicated to the horror genre? There is, and it's called Shudder. On this channel there's literally a world of horror from movies that count as classics to new stuff that might be the classics of the future. This week, we're each going to pick three movies from Shudder you should check out before the 31st.

REVIEW: It Lives Inside (2023). How does that song go? "Every single one of us has a devil inside." It turns out that that there's some truth in that in Hindu mythology, which is the the basis for the new horror movie, It Lives Inside. Sam is just a high school-aged daughter of Indian immigrants trying to fit in, but her former-BFF Tamira has issues and they all come down to what she has inside some cloudy looking mason jar. In his first film, Bishal Dutta taps into a lot of anxieties around clashing cultures and immigration, but does that translate into a scary movie?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
