Decade vs Decade: 50s v 90s - Horror

Dan and Jenna are back again with another episode of... DECADE VS. DECADE! In an attempt to branch out of their comfort zones, we're pitting pre-1980s cinema against post-1980s cinema, spinning a wheel on a genre or theme and then daring each other to watch what we've chosen.

This episode, we're talking about two Horror movies - one from the 1950s and one from the 1990s. Jenna's choice is Dementia (1955), a dialogue-less combination of experimental noir and German expressionist filmmaking. Dan's choice is Office Killer (1997), a still underrated piece of darkly comedic, sat yet disturbing horror filmmaking from Cindy Sherman.

Find out what they think about both movies, plus a whole lot more!

Let us know what you think:

A new episode of Notes From the Back Row will be released every other week. If you have a new movie premiering, drop us a line – we might be interested in setting something up with you too!
