Episode 12 - The Splat Pack Series: Alexandre Aja, Greg McLean and Doing Stuff With Body Parts - A Splat Pack Wrap-Up

Chillennial Horrors

It's a Chillennial Horrors double feature! We close out our Splat Pack series with the 00s horrors of Alexandre Aja and Greg McLean. Sarah and Jonathan brace themselves for the blood, the screaming, the mutant cannibals, the backpack killers and the killer croc of High Tension/Switchblade Romance (2003), The Hills Have Eyes (2006), Mirrors (2008), Wolf Creek (2005) and Rogue (2007).

Does High Tension's twist still work, if it ever did? Are we here for the gruelling nastiness of breakdown horrors? What is going on with Kiefer Sutherland's performance in Mirrors? Why does Wolf Creek feel like such a different beast to Hostel? And why is it so satisfying when people get chomped by apex predators in movies?

Join us for this splattery movie marathon as we ponder whether Alexandre Aja gets better with age, discuss if Greg McLean is stuck in Wolf Creek forever, look back at what we've learned revisiting the Splat Pack movies, and talk about whether our views on the "torture porn" label have changed at all.
