SHRINK CHAT: The 28 Days Later Trilogy Reviewed - Plus Weapons, Slewfoot & One Star Review Roasts

The 28 Days Later franchise is complete. Two therapists who have been waiting for this trilogy to close have thoughts - and they're not all positive.

Season 8's first Shrink Chat is here and it's packed. Horror film reviews, a folk horror book recommendation, TV series, one star review roasts, horror trivia, and the casual chaos you come here for. Horror Facts with Cath returns. Nothing is safe.

This episode covers:

Films:

• 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later & 28 Years Later - the full trilogy reviewed and assessed as a complete body of work. Did the franchise stick the landing?
• Weapons - reviewed with Shannon and Cathy's clinical lens on the psychology of violence
• MadS - French horror discussed
• Kissed - the deeply uncomfortable Canadian film about necrophilia and what it's actually doing psychologically
• The Surfer - Nicolas Cage, paranoia, and the disintegration of identity
• The Shrouds - David Cronenberg's late-career meditation on grief and body horror

TV Series:

• The Hunting Girls - reviewed and discussed

Books:

• Slewfoot - folk horror with genuine teeth. If you love the subgenre this is required reading and Shannon and Cathy make the case for why
• Small Sacrifices - the Ann Rule true crime classic that still shocks. If you haven't read it this episode will make you want to immediately

Plus:

• One Star Review Roasts - Shannon and Cathy read and react to the worst reviews of beloved horror films they could find. The comments section never disappoints
• Horror trivia - Horror Facts with Cath returns for Season 8
• Horror news highlights and the random tangents you expect from a Shrink Chat episode

Two licensed therapists - one forensic psychologist, one clinical marriage and family therapist - reviewing horror films, series, and books so you know exactly what's worth your time and what the psychology is actually doing.

Until then... sleep safe. 😴
