Reviews of Still/Born - The Nursery - Days of the Dead Charlotte

Spela upp

This week, the Grue-Crew pack in a theme this week with a pair of mothers in peril stories - well, technically, one is only a babysitter - along with a discussion about a horror convention making its first-ever stop in Charlotte. First up is a review of the horror convention Days of the Dead which landed in Charlotte, North Carolina May 18 - 20, 2018. The first film, The Nursery from directors Christopher A. Micklos and Jay Sapiro, introduces a babysitter encountering a ghost haunter her young charge. Rounding out the show is the Shudder exclusive Still/Born from director Brandon Christensen featuring a harrowing look at the loss of a child and the mental impact of such an event...and maybe some demon possession to spice things up a bit! 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.
