On today’s episode, we welcome a legend to our show: the one and only Renny Harlin. He’s the director of films like Die Hard 2 (1990), A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988), Cliffhanger (1993), and honestly, so many more great movies. Host Dom Lenoir sat down with him to look back at his long career and to chat all about:

the horror genre

shooting in Europe

reimagining The Strangers

working with Bruce Willis

making Die Hard 2

and so much more!

The Strangers: Chapter 1 is out in cinemas on Friday! TRAILER
After their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple is forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive.
