What sparked this “Black New Wave?” Who blazed this path for contemporaries like Ava DuVernay, Kasi Lemmons and Jordan Peele? And how did these films transform American culture as a whole? Presenting The Class of 1989, a new limited-run series from pop culture critics Len Webb and Vincent Williams, hosts ...

Be sure to close the blinds for this week's wild and saucy double feature. Red Nights (Hong Kong, France & Belguim, 2010) is a killer blend of Hong Kong mobster violence and European giallo style, but even though legendary category III star Carrie Ng is a bewitching femme fatale the movie isn't as sexy as it wants to be. Night of the Killer Bears (Thailand, 2022), though, gets right down to business with a slick cold open and a parade of shameless, creative kills. Turn off your brain and smile at all the nods to "Scream" and "I know What You Did Last Summer."
Red Nights: Motion Picture Terror Scale: 4. Quality: 3.5. Enjoyment: 3.
Night of the Killer Bears: MPTS: 2. Quality: 3. Enjoyment: 4.5
Articles mentioned in this episode:
"Julien Carbon et Laurent Courtiaud pour Les Nuits Rouges du Bourreau de Jade," by Julien for Le Blog du Cinema (read with Google Translate, so a lot could've been lost in translation)
"The 10 greatest erotic horror films of all time," by Swapnil Dhruv Bose for Far Out Magazine
"Exclusive: Night of the Killer Bears Producer Pays Tribute to Classic Thrillers," by Will Sayre for Movie Web
