Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum & Viking Wolf

Published: Aug. 17, 2023, 9:30 a.m.

Need a hairy gateway horror for a pre-teen? Want to watch something freaky on your laptop after the kid is asleep? We've got your Friday night all planned out with Viking Wolf (Norway, 2022) and Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (South Korea, 2018).

Note: We recorded this "backup episode" back in April. We chat about Night of the Killer Bears (Thailand, 2022) which we hadn't seen at the time. We reviewed it back in June - it's a shameless scream-y banger - and it's since dropped on Tubi. Plus, we talk Fulci and the Last Drive In and I give a quick review of The Meg 2: The Trench.
