In the episode of What Lurks At Midnight we talk about what movies have been a bit of a let down recently and how the hype for movies can often ruin the release for us. * * * Hosted on Acast. See…
But I think, um, the one I really wanna start with is actually a newer release, um, in the movie Undertow.
Um, so this movie, I...
Oh, dude, I should've totally pulled all this stuff up.
What a, what a frickin' noob I am.
Um, but it came out this year, 2026.
What was it, um, was it last month in March?
Uh, was it that long? I guess, yeah, I think that's about right.
Yeah.
Uh, this says 2025, but that's because that's when they filmed it.
But, um, yeah, uh, uh, just came out, like, last month.
Um, and if you haven't seen it, uh, we're not gonna go super deep into each of the different movies, uh, in this episode.
We're just gonna kinda talk about generally why, why it let us down a little bit, and then also, like, again, that stigma of, like, building it up and everything, and it kind of r- almost ruined the movie-
Mm-hmm

So, um, quick, um, like, I guess summary of the movie.
Um, Undertow's a p- uh, a movie about a, a podcast, um, not unlike, uh, what we are currently doing.
Yeah, really.
[laughs]
Um, but the, uh, it says the host of a popular paranormal podcast becomes haunted by the terrifying recordings, uh, that were mysteriously sent to her and her cohost-
Mm
... um, to cover on the show.
Um, and, you know, I think all in all it wasn't a bad premise for a movie.
Um, you know, they kind of go through the movie and, like, our, our clues and, like, the driving force for the movie is, like, they keep listening to these audio files and random, more spooky, weird shit starts to happen, so on and so forth.
It's, it's...
You know, it ki- they kinda keyed it up as your, you know, what? Like, your...
