Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast Gets Haunted by ‘La Llorona’
Knight Light: A Horror Movie Podcast extends Hispanic Heritage Month with Hispanic Haunts beginning with the Shudder-exclusive Guatemalan ghost story, La Llorona!
La Llorona follows a former Guatemalan dictator, Enrique Monteverde (Julio Diaz), and his family, Natalia (Sabrina De La Hoz), Carmen (Margarita Kenéfic), and Sara (Ayla-Elea Hurtado), being haunted by his past orchestration with the brutal genocide of native Mayans. Found guilty but later overturned during his trials, his home is haunted with protestors on the outside and one of his victims, Alma (María Mercedes Coroy). She disguises herself as a maid after his staff chooses to no longer work for him. Enrique becomes plagued with ghostly voices and images of his past, causing him to become delusional and attack his family. The family soon learns who the true villain is.
Can they stop it before their whole family is destroyed?

Game Loop.
Trace and I inadvertently bookended our April discussions of John Landis’ An American Werewolf in London (listen) and Ciarán Foy’s Eli (listen) with Jude Law films. At the start of the month, we tackled Matt Damon’s Italian grifter in The Talented Mr. Ripley (listen) and now we’re closing out April with David Cronenberg‘s eXistenZ (1999).
The unofficial sequel to Videodrome (listen) and precursor to Crimes of the Future, eXistenZ takes place in the world of virtual reality and simulation. Game goddess Allegra Gellar (Jennifer Jason Leigh) is forced to go on the run with PR nerd Ted Pikul (Jude Law) through the Canadian backwoods when ‘Realist’ terrorists declare open season on her life.
Featuring no shortage of strange encounters and oddball characters, including Willem Dafoe‘s queer-coded Gas and Canadian film royalty like Don McKellar and Sarah Polley, Allegra and Ted must travel between the real world and the game world, all the while keeping track of who is friendly…and who is foe.

Episode 279: eXistenZ (1999) feat Vannah Taylor
Lube up your industry standard bio-port because we’re playing David Cronenberg’s eXistenZ (1999) with someone friendly: Vannah Taylor!
David Cronenberg’s meditation on the dangers of gaming and simulation is the middle entry of an unofficial trilogy. It’s also a film that gets real confusing, real fast, so good luck figuring out if we’re still in the game!
Plus: criticisms of a “bland” game world, praise for Jennifer Jason Leigh, Canadian royalty, comparisons to Serenity, disgusting gristle guns, and Pikul getting his back blown out (several times!)
Cross out eXistenZ!
Coming up on Wednesday: We’re continuing our celebration of 1999 films with a look at Stephen Sommers’ bisexual awakening, action adventure film, The Mummy (1999).
P.S. Subscribe to our Patreon for over 306 hours of Patreon content including this month’s new episodes on Hannibal S01E04, Late Night with the Devil, The First Omen, Femme, Abigail and a brand new audio commentary on the original The Omen (1976).
