Hello? Hello, Sydney. What is up, you spooky bitches? We're back and we got another episode of the Hello Sydney podcast here, a podcast for horror lovers where we discuss any and all things horror. And it's me, your girl, Sydney. Happy Wednesday,

0:21.8

happy midweek. Happy, like, summer almost. Happy at finally getting warmer for those of you who

0:28.1

are on the East Coast like me. What have you guys been watching? What have you guys been up to?

0:32.3

I feel like there's been so much coming out lately. Like, we talked about Final Destination

0:35.8

Bloodlines. And then, uh, Fear Street Prom Queen came out last week and like, what just an average movie?

0:43.9

Like, just simply average. And like I said in my review, like this is coming from somebody,

0:48.9

all the Fear Street trilogy, like the original three or ten out of tens for me. I fucking

0:52.9

love those. I've been watching them

0:55.0

like on loop since watching prom queen because I'm like, wow, this did not give me my fear street

0:59.4

fix that I need. So like I've been rewatching them multiple times because it was just so average,

1:05.0

like just such an average slasher and like it was not nearly 80s enough because I fucking love an 80s movie and I'm like you can't even

1:11.7

tell this is in the 80s most of the time. So that's disappointing, but hopefully one that isn't

1:16.2

going to be disappointing. Bring Her Back is coming out this week. I'm probably going to see it on

1:20.3

Thursday. It's 824's latest movie, which like 824 is such a hit or miss for me because like historically I don't like it but then you have like

1:32.1

great things but that always makes me nervous too because then like the hype kind of gets you

1:36.2

excited and it can end up disappointing you I don't know guys what a stressful time not actually

1:41.0

that's really not stressful at all but you know what I do know is a good, is the movie that we're going to be talking about today. And I'm so sad that we're wrapping up Mike Flanagan month because I, you guys know how much I love our Lord and Savior. So I've had so much fun talking about his movies and covering all of these this month. I hope you guys have enjoyed it too. I'm so happy I rewatch Midnight Mass. I just want to go rewatch everything he's ever done ever. But today we're talking about an earlier

2:04.8

movie of his before I wake from 2016. And even though this movie came out in 2016,

2:10.2

it actually was filmed in like 2013. And then there was issues with like the production company.

2:15.7

They ended up like going bankrupt. And they never got a theater releases they were supposed to.
