The encounter traumatizes her so much that she and her husband escape the an island community where everyone seems to be there for mental health reasons. Soon it becomes clear that Eddie is far more than human and has ties to this “colony.” What’s worst is Karen’s husband seems to run astray with the resident nymphomaniac, Marsha.

Posted in Updates on February 25, 2023 by splatterpicturesThey say that when someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage, a curse is born. That curse lingers in the place of death. Those who encounter it will consumed by its fury.
We’ve made it all the way to episode 200 and there is no film better to tackle on this momentous day than one of Japan’s biggest horror exports: Ju On: The Grudge. As we celebrate all things that are Dead Air we discuss a film that made me Shudder! One of the foundational films that caused the J-horror boom in the early 2000’s
At a sleepy suburban home in Japan a family is mired by tragedy. Social workers, cops and urban explorers go missing once they cross the cursed threshold of this home. Anyone who lives there or tries to help is killed mercilessly through a twisted story of time and space not limited by the laws of the universe or the mercy of the Gods. A quiet night curled up watching Netflix could end with Kayako crawling under your blankets to pull you to oblivion.
Please enjoy and from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for 200 episodes of DEAD AIR!
