Not every horrific, childhood-destroying moment comes from a horror movie. Director Romola Garai stopped by to chat about her debut film Amulet. It's a nasty and weird little Gothic horror story that subverts expectations the entire time. SPOILER CHAT: If you haven't seen Amulet yet, skip ahead at 17:41 to 26:23 to miss details about the ending.When Romola was a kid, she was introduced to the not horror movie An Awfully Big Adventure and the combination of youth, sexual politics and...well, general ickiness left a scar. We talk Alan Rickman, the monstrous human Hugh Grant plays and why Romola shouts, "I'm glad you fell in the sea, you ***hole!"Little Cuts:Terry discussed the snoozer nature documentary with a side of murder The Prey.Mary Beth found a darkness she was not expecting in Exhibit A. They both then talk about Shudder's new film by Satan's Slaves' Joko Anwar: Impetigore.Follow The Pod:@scarredpodcast@Mbmcandrews@gaylydreadfulThanks for listening and as a reminder, if you like what we do, our rankings are incredibly dependent on ratings and reviews as well as word-of-mouth.
