We start by talking about what we’ve done involving horror recently. Liam talks the films Alone, Anything For Jackson, and Rise Of The Guardians, and Justin talks about the films Peninsula, Freaky, and the newest Max Brooks novel Devolution.

Up first is Lemora. Liam talks about how the film examines the idea of pushing the idea of innocence upon a young attractive white woman and how it involves a world filled with characters intent on devouring her in one way or another.

The idea of the film being a criticism of Christianity is examined, and Justin talks about how the name of the town the film takes place in (Astaroth) is indicative of this film being a criticism of Christianity. Justin also talks about how he initially thought the film was a nod to “abject person” as discussed, as is the “sovereign figure”.
