Martyrs Lane (2021)

Horror Obsessive Radio

On this episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast, Sean Parker and JP Nunez discuss one of JP's favorite horror movies of the last few years: Martyrs Lane.

The film concerns a young girl named Leah who gets visited by a strange new friend every night and, after a while, helps Leah uncover a dark family secret that have stood between her and her mother since the day she was born.

JP's shows an exuberant fandom for Martyrs Lane, and surprisingly, Sean likes it as well. Granted, he’s not nearly as enamored with it as JP is, but thinks it’s pretty good overall. Despite their basic agreement about the film, they don’t quite see eye to eye on all the details, making for a deeper conversation. The hosts discuss what Martyrs Lane says about religion, the ambiguity of the movie’s ending, and if there's a connection to Peter Pan.

As always, before digging into theit main topic, JP and Sean discuss some of the cool news that hit the horror world in the last two weeks, like the recently announced release date for one of my most anticipated films of the next few years, Beetlejuice 2. They also gush about their favorite genre movie of 2023 so far, Moon Garden, and show their excitement for the original stories Horror Obsessive is starting to produce.

It’s a really fun conversation from start to finish, so kick back, relax, and come along for the ride. And, if you enjoy listening to us, join us again in two weeks for our next episode of The Horror Obsessive Podcast. We’ll be talking to Ricky Glore, a stand-up comedian and the writer/director of All Your Friends Are Dead. He’s going to be launching a Kickstarter campaign for his next film, horror-musical Open House. If you caught Sean's interview with Ricky last year, then you know how hilarious he is and that you’re not going to want to miss any part of that conversation.
