We Own The Dark

Episode 17: The Witch Who Came From The Sea/Gerald's Game

Join us this month for generational trauma and wildly unhinged hallucinations! We Own the Dark dives headfirst into two films that are heartbreaking and brutal but definitely elicits that ol' "good for her" feeling. Jason chose first with Matt Cimber's The Witch Who Came From the Sea (1976) to which Jerry paired Mike Flanagan's Gerald's Game (2017). These two films tell unique and rich stories of the desperation and often bleak nature of survival. Take a watch then take a listen and let us know what you think of this pairing!

Episode 16: A Desert/White Of The Eye

We Own the Dark is back with two hot, sweaty, bloody good films! Jerry chose the criminally underrated A Desert, the 2024 feature debut of Joshua Erkman, and Jason followed up with an insanely entertaining stunner, Donald Cammell's White of the Eye (1987).

Episode 14: Bloody Oranges/The Day Of The Locust

We Own the Dark is back with a bloody new episode! This time we're engaging in a rousing discussion about political satire and Hollywood criticism. Jerry's choice of the French dark horror/comedy from director Jean-Christophe Meurisse, Bloody Oranges (2021), is paired perfectly by Jason with John Schlesinger's 1975 adaptation of Nathanael West's seminal novel, The Day of the Locust.

Episode 13: Messiah Of Evil/Rose: A Love Story

For lucky number 13 of We Own the Dark, Jason and Jerry enjoy a seemingly random but no less gorgeously dark double feature pairing. Jason introduces us to the breathtaking visual hysteria of Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz's Messiah of Evil (1973). We then move to a meditative, slow burn, isolation horror with Jennifer Sheridan's 2020 debut feature Rose: A Love Story.
