Dogtooth

I like to throw people in on the deep end

because if you start them off with a favorite and then just go like watch Dogtooth, they're going to slap you.

Yeah, that's

true.

Not everybody.

Incidentally, while you were having these wonderful times with your dad, Lauren, my childhood was...

I actually recently revisited Dogtooth and I came to the conclusion that being raised in super strict conservative religion... is kind of like the family in Dogtooth.

That's like religion.

Same.

I, uh, Dogtooth was where I first came to know him, and that was, I'd never seen anything like that before, so sort of-

I'm trying to remember if I've seen Dogtooth

...

if you've not seen Dogtooth, definitely seek that out-

Okay

... because it's sort of-

It's where they usually have premiered like some of the weirdest stuff.

Dogtooth was Uncertain Regard.

Oh,

really? That's funny.

Yeah, but still like, you know, the strangeness and how like the...

I was thinking of Dogtooth a lot.

But the film didn't go that way.

It's much more different and creative in how it tells its story.

And it clearly isn't.

Of his other films though, Dogtooth, I would um and ah about putting it on.

The Lobster, I don't think I would put that on as a horror.

But Killing of a Sacred Deer, yes.

And I'm just going to call it Sacred Deer and pop that into the favourite.

I thought that was a wonderful piece of work, the favourite.

Have you seen Dogtooth at all? No.

People have been recommending that I get stuck into Dogtooth if I'm into this sort of stuff.

As I said, one of the hardest movies to get people into in my head is Killing of a Sacred Deer.

I'm like, I think that even Dogtooth, some people could get it.

You know what I'm saying? And that's a very...

stale and dry movie too, to a certain degree.

Call 804-ROCKET for full program details.

Hi, I'm Jeffrey Cranor, and my friend Cecil Baldwin loves horror movies, and he's helping make this genre more approachable for me, and hopefully for you, too, one film at a time in a random order.

Are you squeamish about horror movies? Don't worry.

We'll tell you what happens.

Adore horror movies? Great! Watch along with us each week.

As always, check the show notes for content warnings about this week's episode discussion and film.

This week, we randomly rolled a six for Alien and a one for horror adjacent.

Here is episode 339.

Oh, oh.

Something that I think is always incredible in a film when we were talking about this with Dogtooth.

is where the film, the location in which the film is shot is a character within itself.

And I think you could definitely say this about the movie.
