Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about 1980’s Night Beast and 1990’s The Suckling.

We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about watching Blood Machines on Shudder. Justin talks about watching the Epix miniseries War Of The Worlds and the Amazon Prime documentary The Hat Man, as well as the films Grave Encounters, Grave Encounters 2, and What Keeps Us Alive.

Up first is Night Beast. We begin by giving a general outline of the film. We give our very general opinions on the film, and then disagree on the nature of the performances of the film. Justin argues that it is a joyless affair whereas Liam argues that it was fun. We touch upon the weird phenomenon of aliens who’re smart enough to pilot a ship across the galaxy and little more than rabid animals when they land.

Liam talks about the gore in the movie feels tremendously out of place. We talk about how the movie is so bland and inoffensive that it becomes offensive.

We discuss the films filled attempt at adding an “exploitation” angle with it’s weirdly out-of-place rapist subplot. The films legendarily awkward sex scene is touched upon.
