Ep. 102: Night Zoo

November 13, 2023 01:21:16

We continue #NIGHTvember with 1987’s Night Zoo.  With a title like Night Zoo, you’d expect a fun, family comedy.  Maybe something along the lines of Night at the Museum.  Spoiler alert!  You would be wrong.  Dead Wrong.   Night Zoo, directed by Jean-Claude Lauzon, is a dark film that spends the majority of its time…

We kick off #AUGHOST with 1987’s PRISON.  Directed by Renny Harlin (CLIFFHANGER, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT) and written HALLOWEEN producer Irwin Yablans, PRISON is a curious partnership between New World Pictures and Empire Pictures.  And who’s the beneficiary of this partnership?  We all are.   Don’t let the title fool you.  The Prison in PRISON…
