Brains & Blood, a horror film review podcast.

SPOILER WARNING: We keep the first few minutes spoiler-free, with our one-sentence verdicts and the film facts. When you hear the spoiler bell, we dissect the whole film, ending included. Haven't seen it? Stop at the bell, watch it, then come back.

In this episode, the Coroner and the Scream Queen head back to a fundamentalist compound with Diabolic, the Australian religious horror about a woman whose blackouts lead her back to the church that cast her out. Is it a slow-burn keeper or a sermon that runs long? We run it through the Brains & Blood scoring system: one score for the craft, one for the scream.
