You can listen to ‘Discussing Extreme Cinema with Zoe Rose Smith’ on the Uneasy Terrain Explorers Club Podcast now! If you told me a few years ago that an extreme cinema filmmaker would want to interview me, I would have laughed in your face. But here we are… Jonathan Doe is someone in the extreme and underground cinema world that has been on my radar for awhile after being introduced by my wonderful co-host of Our Bloody Obsession podcast, Kelly Gredner. Jonathan Doe is the man behind Putrid Productions and has also made some nasty extreme and fetish films such as Barf Bunny and The Degenerat ..read more

For this Shock Talk episode, join hosts Kelly Gredner and Zoë Rose Smith as they talk to two of the most influential, well-known and talented people in the extreme cinema world, horror power couple Fred and Shelby Vogel. They are the minds behind one of the most disturbing, disgusting and depraved extreme found footage trilogys, August Underground. And more recently, they have worked on psychological thriller The Final Interview. In this episode they discuss the notoriety behind AU and it’s impact in the underground film space, the other films from Toetag Pictures including  ..read more

We’re back for another Shock Talk episode! This time Zoë is joined by Martin Trafford, creator of disturbing, extreme & gory underground horror artwork for the likes of Marian Dora, Jorg Buttgereit and Jonathan Doe. And Martin brought a classic extreme movie to the table with none other than Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust (1980). They look at how it incited censorship across the world, which animal death is the worst ( or ) and how this film has become a part of history. Listen for the full discussion! You can follow Martin on Instagram or TikTok, or you can grab a copy of Martin’s l ..read more

Kelly was joined by horror journalist Kelly McNeely to discuss one of the most disturbing found footage horror films, Lex Ortega’s Atroz (2018).

On Our Bloody Obsession podcast, Kelly and I try to look at films that we feel we can discuss with intelligence and really bring something to the conversation. That’s why we decided to discuss Michael Goi’s Megan Is Missing (2011) and Lucifer Valentine’s A Perfect Child of Satan (2012). Both of these films look at the horrific abuse and sexualisation of women at the hands of evil men. These aren’t films to be taken lightly, and watching them back-to-back was quite the experience to say the least. What was most interesting upon examination of these extreme found footage horror films was the way ..read more

By now there is no surprise in knowing that I am a huge lover of extreme cinema. Yet I know it’s not for everyone and can be a particularly niche genre that I typically don’t recommend to many people because who can I suggest that people get a daily dose of necrophilia in their lives? However, if someone else asks me to suggest some extreme horror films then I’m all game. Andy Conner, host of the Road to Knowhere podcast invited myself and Amber T (HornBloodFire podcast host, Ghouls Magazine contributor & news writer for Fangoria) to suggest three films to get an extreme horror newbie on t ..read more

Sometimes you just need a little ultra-violence in your life, and when the absolutely wonderful (genuinely one of my fav humans ever) Amber asked me to go on her HornBloodFire podcast to kick off season 2 I was stoked! Amber asks guests to choose three words and then she will generate some horror movie options. My three words were: disturbing, dystopia and cerebral (or I said we could go for ‘mind-fuck’). Amber sent over a list of films which all gave me the heebie jeebies in a good way, but we settled on Stanley Kubrick’s controversial cult classic, A Clockwork Orange (1971). I hadn’t seen th ..read more

Even though I have spoken about this film time and time again, you can never get enough of talking about one of your favourite horror films. That’s why I immediately jumped at the chance when Paul Waller invited me back on to the A Year in Horror Podcast to cover Jorg Buttgereit’s 1987 extreme horror film Nekromantik. I always feel bad for making people watch films like Nekromantik, and there was certainly a sense of guilt getting making Paul watch this one but have a listen to our discussion as it seemed like he might not have hated it ..read more
