Episode 146 - Canadian Cave

We head north this time for two really great Canadian slashers. We start off with Bob Clark's legendary Black Christmas from 1974 which is considered by many to be one of the proto-slashers that established many of the things we would come to expect from the genre. It has a great cast, and a tightly told story and is packed with genuinely creepy and dark moments. It truly deserves it's classic status.  We follow that up with the notorious My Bloody Valentine from 1981. We had only seen a heavily cut of the film before, but for the podcast we tracked down a version with ALL of the gore and violence intact. This is a strong movie, with some of the most impressive makeup effects we've seen.  Another excellently crafted thriller, with an interesting cast, great locations, and a unique spin on the idea of a slasher film, this one is a real standout.
