We did not expect to love this movie as much as we did.

In this episode of The Fear Review, William and Amy dive into Anaconda (2025) — a horror-comedy that balances genuine tension with ridiculous, perfectly timed humor. It’s the kind of movie that makes you laugh… and then immediately makes you uncomfortable for doing so.

We start spoiler-free, talking about tone, performances, and expectations, then clearly warn you before getting into specific scenes and moments that stood out. If you’re on the fence about watching Anaconda (2025), this episode will tell you whether it’s your kind of ride.

We revisit Krampus (2015), a Christmas horror movie we return to every year.

What makes it work is the balance. The film pairs dark, uncomfortable family dynamics with creature designs that feel playful, practical, and unsettling at the same time. That contrast keeps the movie from becoming too bleak and gives it a strange rewatchability that few holiday horror films manage.

We break down the monster designs, the heavy use of practical effects, the jack-in-the-box nightmare, the snow-globe ending, and why this movie still earns its place in our yearly rotation.

There are three rules. They’re simple. And every single problem in Gremlins (1984) exists because nobody follows them.

This week on The Fear Review, we revisit one of the most beloved — and sneakiest — horror-comedies ever made. It’s a Christmas movie, a monster movie, and proof that Gizmo is perfect and everyone else is the problem.

William breaks down why the movie still works decades later, while Amy focuses on what really matters: Gizmo, the chaos gremlins, and the moments that are way darker than she remembered.

⚠️ Spoiler warning - the episode is filled with spoilers.
