70 | The Blackcoat's Daughter

70 | The Blackcoat's Daughter

Writer/Director: Osgood Perkins

Synopsis: Students, Kat & Rose, are left behind at their catholic boarding school over break after their parents fail to pick them up. Alone with only a couple nuns to look after them, Rose begins to suspect something might be wrong with the quiet, kinda odd Kat.
In a separate plot line we follow Joan, who appears to have escaped from a hospital of some kind. A good-intentioned couple offers her a ride, & we discover that their path seems to be heading in the direction of the boarding school.

Next up, we veer off the beaten trail a tad as we review the recently released HBO documentary, Beware the Slenderman. It's a perfect blend of our two loves: horror and true crime. So go and convince someone to share their HBO Now passwork with you and check out this movie before our next episode.

Synopsis: Little Francisca lives on a remote farm with her Portuguese-transplant mother & taciturn father. She idolizes her mother, a former surgeon who is seen teaching her about her namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, & giving her anatomy lessons using the local cows. An act of violence is the catalyst which influences Francisca’s psychologically damaged development into very lonely adulthood. The movie progresses towards an inevitable conclusion as Francisca becomes increasingly desperate for companionship in addition to becoming more & more unhinged.

Synopsis: A couple of "American" women take a trip to the Mediterranean coast, where they uncover a long-kept secret beneath an abandoned prison that was inexplicably used by the Nazis for Nazi-things.

We shouldn't even need to show you a trailer for the next movie we'll be reviewing - chances are you've seen the same one about 20 times. However, in case you want to make it 21, here it is again. Next up...The Conjuring 2.
