Episode 298: Christian horror movie: 'The Lock in' (2014)

Adventures in Movies!

Tony Todd is a legend in horror. Most know him from the iconic Candyman, but there is so much more to him. Though he mainly worked in genre, he managed to find mainstream success. From popular horror franchises to much loved science fiction, Todd left behind an impressive body of work.

Rod Serling is a fantastic writer and possibly the greatest host of all time. His legacy looms over much of modern horror. Every anthology ever owes him a debt of gratitude. We talk about how little we know of the man despite his accolades and the upcoming documentary about his life.

We have wanted to do a Christian horror movie for a long time. This week we talk about 2014’s The Lock In and we have so many questions. Did the film have a script? How many times did people who were not in the movie walk into the shot? Is this an anti porn or an anti dumpster diving story? All this is before we even get to the movie itself!

Surprisingly, The Lock In is a pretty straight forward horror movie. While that probably improves the overall quality, it was still disappointing to us. We also try to figure out of all the problems that were plaguing the country in 2014 why this plot centered around the harm pornography is causing. We also talk about how an awful ending is an awful ending no matter what your message may be.
