Shadow in the Cloud (New Zealand & USA, 2020)

May 12, 2022

Gremlins aren't just cuddly, aquaphobic Christmas monsters - they're also winged monsters that bedeviled allied aircraft in WW2. This week, the crew heads to the South Pacific for a pulpy, girl-power-bottle-action-creature feature mashup that breaks all the laws of physics. Also, just how depraved is "The Sadness?" Is it ultra-violent smut? Maybe. We discuss the new Taiwanese release on Shudder.

Motion Picture Terror Scale: 2. Quality: 3.5. Enjoyment: 4
