After the success of fatal attraction in 1987, Hollywood churned out a glut of glossy

thrillers through the late 80s and early 90s, which weirdly blended the tropes of romance

movies, or erotic films, with gory, violent horror.

In 1991, Julia Roberts, hot off the back of pretty woman, starred in a tense cat-and-mouse

thriller about a woman in witness protection being pursued by her violent and abusive ex-husband.

A few years later, up and coming actress Reese Witherspoon starred opposite Marki Mark

Wahlberg in fear, a cult sleepover teen hit which begins as your classic cheesy teen romance

but ends in a violent, brutal home invasion.

Join me as we continue exploring the evolution of home invasion, and we discuss sleeping

with the enemy, and fear.

Welcome back to the evolution of horror.

My name is Mike Munter, as ever I am your host.

In this podcast, we explore and dissect the history and the evolution of the horror genre

one subjummer at a time, we are currently in our ninth series exploring the evolution

of home invasion movies, and this is part 16.

In this episode, as that intro suggested, we are going to be looking at two classic

thrillers from the 90s that sleeping with the enemy from 1991 and fear from 1996.

Both of these discussions will, of course, be spoilerific so if you can, please give

both movies a watch before you listen to our discussion.

So joining me to discuss these two weird and wonderful movies I have got a very good

friend of mine, a friend of the podcast, she is the co-host of my favourite podcast,

Faculty of Horror, and she is an unabashed fan of cheesy glossy 90s horror movies.
