When Princess Elspeth discovers her father, King Henry, has begun selling his own people into slavery, she flees to join the Rebellion and aid their insurrection. However the King dispatches four of the land's best assassins to hunt and kill her before she can find help. With a former solider by her side, Elspeth tries to evade death but runs straight into hell where she finds an army of soulless men and women trapped in cages in the earth, awaiting the call from their master to rise and siege the castle. Surrounded by evil, will Elspeth maintain her faith in all that is holy and good?

What is a smile when it's disingenuous? What is it covering up? Parker Finn's directorial debut Smile (2022) uses trauma not just as a theme but as an actual device to transfer a horrible demon between unsuspecting witnesses. Borrowing from Hereditary, It Follows and the Ring, among others, we argue Smile still brings something fresh and unique to horror genre. We ask the big questions: Did Rose kill the cat? Do we need the inability to communicate cliche? Or the annoying b-characters? Is the monster physically real? Does it pop into a room like a Leprechaun? Is the monster from REC and Barbarian popping up in everything these days? Plus we look at the Monster Metrics and the ASPM rate is off the charts!

Oh man, it's time to do the Omen (1976). One of the most influential horror movies of the 70s, Richard Donner's film about US Ambassador, Robert Thorn, and his wife raising the AntiChrist would set off a franchise that was revisited in 2024. Running Scared co-hosts Jamie and Rob have a lot to say about dogs in horror movies, off-leash protocols, the logistics of hiring a nanny, a spin on "the library scene", Jerry Goldsmith's score, and a whole lot more. Plus another Monster Metrics segment where we measure the dread factor, dog alert moments and anticipated scares per minute.
