Tim Basaraba – I am ignorant about most foreign cinema. Sure, I have my favorite international directors: Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Amenábar, Bong Joon Ho, Pedro Almodóvar, Yorgos Lanthimos, Gaspar Noé and of course Lars von Trier are a few of my favorites who’ve had success here in the US. But cinema from India? It’s new to me.
Tim Basaraba – I have no idea what The Whitest Kids U’Know is, so hold on a minute
Peter Cameron – George Sluzier’s late ’80s film The Vanishing makes it unnervingly clear that humanizing a monster is more frightening than a mask. Freddy and Jason can hack to bits as many victims as they want, it still won’t scare me as much as the unspeakable acts that humans are capable of.

Tim Basaraba – This is the fifth Scream film. Can you believe Wes Craven was able to deconstruct modern horror with FOUR films before he died? This was an especially amazing feat given he helped redefine the genre in the first place. Could a new set of directors, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, tap into what made the originals so special?
