(Note: Since this episode was recorded on location, it is audio-only.) We're hanging out in the snow at Park City, for the 40th edition of the Sundance Film Festival this week, and got a chance to see 2014 festival alum The Babadook on the big screen—and wouldn't you know it, it happens to be on the CineFix Top 100! A terrifying entry into the psychological horror genre, writer director Jennifer Kent gives us the story of a woman and her son, struggling to keep their sanity in the midst of grief, trauma and a haunted pop up book! Clint, Cal, and Alex dig into the brilliantly efficient opening 2 minutes, a borrowed sound effect from World of Warcraft, and how The Babadook is a deserving spiritual successor to Stephen King, Stanley Kubrick and The Shining.
