Episode 227: 'Somewhere Quiet' (2023)/'The Robert Englund Story' (2023)

Action movies just aren't our thing. Sure, there are exceptions like John Wick and Sisu, but for every Hobbes & Shaw, there is the entire Fast & Furious franchise. The Expendables has never caught our fancy and the poster for the latest installment pretty much sums up what we think of the entire series.We spoke a few weeks ago about the surprising number of genre films that are showing at this year's Tribeca Festival. We start the show with one of fest's many world premieres. Somewhere Quiet is the story of a woman who has escaped an awful kidnapping. She and her husband  Scott head out to the his house in the woods so she can regroup. The unexpected appearance of Scott's cousin leads to high anxiety.We discuss the difficulty with getting behind certain characters, suspect writing, and an outstanding performance. There is plenty of good things in Somewhere Quiet, but is it enough to save its confusing ending? Or did the deeper meaning just fly over our heads?Robert Englund is a true icon of horror. He may not want to admit it, and  every person may not recognize his name, but  there isn't a soul who does not know who Freddy Krueger is. But there is more to Englund than A Nightmare on Elm Street. Hollywood Dreams and Nightmares is an in-depth look at the actor's career.The thing that comes across most is Englund's love of cinema and his humility. He is interesting and has some great stories to share. (He has been in the orbit of some of Hollywood's most influential films.) There is a lot of talk about Nightmare, but the documentary has a whole lot more to offer. We also about our newfound appreciation for Screambox.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network. Morbidly Beautiful is your one stop shop for all your horror needs.
