In my review for Jennifer's Body, I contextualized the film in a way that may be construed as hyperbole. While certainly viewing the Karyn Kusama-directed sophomore writing effort is, in fact, not worse than death, I can only imagine the similarity is unmistakable. Most of my time in the theater was spent with my hands placed upon head, jaw hanging open in abject bewilderment over the armageddon of suck that was unfolding on the screen before my eyes.

Naturally, there is bound to be someone who disagrees with me (though I don't really know how, since I'm always right), and that someone is Corey from the fantastic blog Evil on Two Legs. Corey, in his infinite yet questionable wisdom, considered Jennifer's Body to be the best horror film of 2009. Of course, this means debate! After about four attempts to record the damned thing, the stars aligned and Corey and I engaged in what ultimately turned out to be a fairly in-depth and analytical discussion over the relative merits of the film.

And I only dropped the f-bomb a few times

The last episode of Dead Wrong pitted myself against Horror Squad's Peter Hall in a no-holds barred debate over the merits of Neil Marshall's sophomore film and massive hit The Descent. This time around we're bringing in new squadder Brian Salisbury to debate Marshall's debut film, Dog Soldiers, a werewolf flick with bite.

Hehe.

Dog Soldiers is one of my favorite horror flicks. It's incredibly funny, delightfully gory and features one of the few representations of werewolves in horror that aren't either CGI or just outright ridiculous. For some reason Mr. Salisbury and I did not see eye-to-eye and as such, he served as the perfect individual upon which to foist my incessant, incoherent and sometimes contradictory ramblings.

Without further adieu, episode 4 of Dead Wrong! Here's your usual reminder to queue up the film at around the 00:00 mark and enjoy two horror nerds doing what they do best: bitching and moaning about movies.

When The Descent came out, everyone fell in love with it. The follow-up to Neil Marshall's wonderful werewolf flick Dog Soldiers, The Descent is considered one of the best horror films of 2006, gracing a number of top tens from that year, and with good reason. It was scary, fun, well-acted and excessively bloody and violent. After my first viewing I fell in love with it, and it went on to become one of my favorite horror films of all time.

But as always, you just can't please everyone. Enter Horror Squad's own Peter Hall.

The vehement indignation in Peter's voice throughout this debate is merely a testament to his long-standing hatred for this film, which began with his review three and a half years ago. My favorite quote of his comes not from the review, but from a response he made to a comment by Cinematical contributor Will Goss, which says: I would rather watch a slideshow of all the Saw posters for 90 minutes than THE DESCENT.

After reading his review, I felt Peter would be the perfect person with which to debate the merits of the film, a task I should have spent more time preparing for. I love the film, but not nearly with the same amount of passion with which he hates it. Joined early on by the bearded wonder Luke Mullen, episode three of Dead Wrong is filled with fun, excitement, and for some reason a lot of science lessons.

As always, start the debate when the marker reads 00:00 on the movie and you should be good to go.

The French film Inside, though clearly not a film for everyone, has remained consistently popular since its American release on DVD a little over a year ago. Detractors of the film cite it as nothing more than torture porn, that much maligned pseudo-subgenre that may or may not exist, though these individuals are clearly in the minority. The film currently holds a 92% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, an impressive feat for any film, let alone a horror movie about a woman who will do absolutely anything to get at a widow's unborn baby. And I do mean anything.

In that minority falls one Count Vardulon, a precocious young scamp from Canada who runs the fantastic film/TV blog Castle Vardulon. I stumbled across his site after doing research on the film, and was immediately drawn to the fact that A) His review was LONG, and B) He used the f-word or one of its many variations an astounding 239 times in one review, and C) He recorded a reading of the review to accompany the written one. Here's an excerpt, but be warned, it contains slightly censored bad language:

I do not like Dawn of the Dead.

George Romero's epic 1978 classic about a group of survivors holed up in an abandoned mall after the walking dead have taken over the city has taken its seemingly rightful place on a number of top ten lists, but not mine. For me, Dawn of the Dead is many things, but a great horror film is not one of them.

And it's not because the zombies are blue.

Now, before you show up on my front step with torches and pitchforks slandering my credibility as a horror fan and overall swell guy, hear me out. My point of view, though controversial in nature, is the end result of close to twenty years of horror fanaticism and is not without merit. I don't discriminate lightly, and while I feel "just because" is a perfectly acceptable reason for not liking a film, I assure you that excuse does not fly with my assessment of Dawn of the Dead.
