In this episode of the Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we take a deep dive into two intense horror films released in 2016: Green Room and Hush. We begin with Green Room, a brutal and fast-paced thriller starring Anton Yelchin in one of his final performances. The film follows a punk band trapped in a deadly situation inside a neo-nazi bar, where tensions escalate quickly, and survival becomes uncertain. We discuss the film’s relentless pacing, shocking moments, and Patrick Stewart's unsettling performance in a role that is far from what audiences typically expect. We then move into Hush, directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Kate Siegel. This home invasion thriller offers a unique perspective, placing us alongside a hearing-impaired writer fighting for survival against an intruder. The film builds tension through silence, isolation, and careful storytelling, creating a gripping and immersive experience. This episode explores what makes both films effective in very different ways, from chaotic, violent intensity to quiet, calculated suspense, along with our final thoughts and ratings.

Join Bruce Markusen and Tracy Asteria as they discuss two recent horror films: Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story and We Bury the Dead. First, we talk about Abraham’s Boys, the Shudder film directed by Natasha Kermani and based on the short story by Joe Hill. Set years after the events of Dracula, the story follows Abraham Van Helsing living in isolation with his family in California as his sons begin to question whether their father is protecting them from vampires or descending into dangerous obsession. We also explore We Bury the Dead, starring Daisy Ridley, where a woman travels to Tasmania after a catastrophic experimental weapon devastates the region, leaving thousands dead and some mysteriously reanimated as she searches for her missing husband. Join us as we break down both films and share our overall thoughts on these two recent horror releases. #HorrorMovies #HorrorPodcast #VampireMovies #ZombieMovies #AbrahamsBoys #WeBuryTheDead Episode 130 Films discussed: Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story (2025) We Bury the Dead (2026) Subscribe to The Ghostly Gallery Podcast for more classic horror movie reviews, discussions, and interviews every week!
