Bloody Good Horror

The Omen at 50: The horror movie that captured America's fears... and still does

This week, Bloody Good Horror celebrates the 50th anniversary of The Omen. Rather than simply revisiting a horror classic, we explore the cultural moment that gave birth to one of the most influential supernatural films ever made. We discuss Richard Donner's classic Hollywood direction, Jerry Goldsmith's iconic score, Damian's chilling and enduring legacy, and why the fears driving The Omen in 1976 feel surprisingly relevant today. Plus, we revisit what still works, what hasn't aged as well, and whether The Omen deserves its place among horror's all-time greats. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Evil Dead Burn review | What is a modern Evil Dead movie?

The Evil Dead franchise returns with Evil Dead Burn, and we have plenty to say. We review the newest chapter in the series, compare it to Evil Dead (2013) and Evil Dead Rise, debate whether the franchise has lost some of the personality that made the originals so memorable, the film's intense bleakness, and discuss where we'd like to see the series go next. Plus, behind the scenes on some of the film's boldest choices, and the crew pays tribute to horror legend Sam Neill.

Why The Evil Dead (1981) is still the blueprint for indie horror

Nearly 45 years after its release, Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead remains one of horror's most influential films. We revisit the original with fresh eyes, exploring why it still feels punk and transgressive, why it remains one of the greatest examples of low-budget horror filmmaking ever put on screen, and why it's unexpectedly relevant during a summer where filmmakers like Kane Parsons and Curry Barker are once again redefining independent horror.
