Episode 11: A24 Cagematch - Part 3 This episode was recorded on September 24, 2023 and posted on October 28, 2023. Content Warning: Vulgarity.  Introduction Welcome back to the A24 Cagematch! Introductions to your Ghosts Hosts with the Most - Lonely of Lonely Horror Club and Projectile Varmint aka Suzie of Horror Movie Weekly Welcome back our Cagematch cohost Mister Watson The Cagematch Bracket & Rules Bracket: To create the brackets, we pulled a total of 28 horror films from the A24 filmography which were placed into "seeds" based on their IMDB & Rotten Tomatoes ratings. After ranking all of the films, we used a bracket creator, like people do for fantasy football or March madness, which generated our full A24 Cage match bracket. Check out the full bracket here.  Rules: For scoring and advancing, each host will rate the movie from 1 to 10 on the following metrics: acting, storytelling, scares, and cinematography. We can't give zeroes so the lowest possible overall score will be 12 and the highest possible overall score will be 120. In the event of a tie - the film with the highest Rotten Tomatoes score will advance. Each host will also have one wild card which will allow the host to rescore any film that has advanced to another round. Rounds All reviews contain spoilers! Preliminary Rounds The Hole in the Ground vs. Enemy Under the Skin vs. Bodies Bodies Bodies Secondary Rounds Ex Machina vs. It Comes At Night Green Room vs. Killing of a Sacred Deer Midsommar vs. The Blackcoat's Daughter Hereditary vs. Men Talk to Me vs. X Climax vs. The Witch Tusk vs. The Hole in the Ground The Lighthouse vs. Under the Skin  Quarter Finals It Comes at Night vs Green Room The Blackcoat's Daughter vs. Hereditary Talk to Me vs. The Witch Tusk vs. Under the Skin Semi Finals Green Room vs. Hereditary Talk to Me vs Under the Skin Finals Hereditary vs. Talk to Me Our 2023 A24 Cagematch Champion is .....
