In the episode, we are dropped into 1990s Yugoslavia with The Seasoning House (2012).

In this episode, we head to Mexico with “Mexico’s most violent film”, Atroz (2018) by Lex Ortega.  Taking social and political commentary to dark and shocking places, Atroz doesn’t pull any punches - it’s provocative and memorable. It challenges everything you thought you knew and more. Taking inspiration from Ruggero Deodato, renowned filmmaker behind Cannibal Holocaust (and is an associate producer), Ortega’s first feature is an endurance test worth taking.My guest for this episode is Mikey Peralta Jr!

In this episode of SPINSTERS CHOICE, one of us selects a movie we're passionate about. This time, it's Jessica's turn, and naturally, she is taking us back to Japan. Japanese horror, especially J-Horror, is captivating, and combine it with found footage, and you have a Koji Shiraishi film—the director we have decided to spotlight for this Spinster’s Choice. We'll be focusing on two lesser-known films, Occult (2009) and A Record of Sweet Murder (2014). We'll revisit the essence of Japanese horror and the J-horror movement, discuss Koji Shiraishi’s influence and impact on the genre, and explore why Japan has so many cults. Enjoy and welcome to our dark side…Intro/Outro Music: Kiss of the Creature by Dance with the DeadArtwork by: Jess HrycykEditing work by: JessicaFOLLOW US ON:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/spinstersofhorrorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/spinstersofhorror/Threads:https://www.threads.net/@spinstersofhorrorTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR!BRUTALITEAS
