This week, the Grue-Crew witness the terror of Lovecraftian aliens, the ferocity of werewolf zombies, and the revenge of a woman wronged. First up is the feature film Island Zero from director Josh Gerritsen set on a remote North Eastern island facing a threat from beneath the sea... or is it from another dimension. The next film, Feral from director Coralie Fargeat, features Scout Taylor-Compton and Lew Temple struggling to survive a new type of creature feature. Rounding out the show is the theatrical release of Revenge from director Coralie Fargeat who makes an incredible impression with her first feature film - a film you will not soon forget. The hunt is on for the diamond in the rough. Doc Rotten from Horror News Radio and Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era are joined by Rafe Telsch and Vanessa Thompson.
