One of the most innovative takes on the cabin-horror subgenera, it’s about dang time Josh Ruben’s directorial debut, Scare Me was available to those folks who prefer to “pop-in”, in lieu of streaming.
Two strangers, Fred and Fanny, are stuck in their Catskills cabin during a power outage. Looking to pass the time, they decide to tell each other scary stories. But the more Fred and Fanny commit to their tales, the more the stories come to life. As the horrors of reality manifest, Fred confronts his ultimate fear that Fanny may be the better storyteller, forcing him to craft the most horrific tale imaginable and put an end to the competition for good.
Josh and Aya Cash (The Boys) volley dialogue that is equal parts hilarious, tense, and timely. But if you’ve listened to our review in episode 260 of the Frightday Podcast, you already know that. If you haven’t, put it in your ears (by clicking here).
Scare Me will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 2, 2021.
