We discuss the horror movies that fooled us (for better or worse) on a new episode of Corpse Club!

Sometimes you watch a horror movie expecting one thing based on its marketing, and instead you get something completely different—for better or worse, the joke's on you. In the spirit of April Fools' Day, on this episode of Daily Dead's official podcast, co-hosts Scott Drebit, Bryan Christopher, and Derek Anderson look back at some of the most memorable horror films that fooled them, leading to pleasant surprises, shocking screenings, and the occasional (yet still entertaining) letdown.

From deceptive trailers and posters to unpredictable plots and directing to enigmatic DVD covers and conversations with friends, listen as the co-hosts discuss how they were fooled by misleading marketing and skewed expectations for a wide range of horror films, including Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Happy Birthday to Me, Black Christmas (2006), and more!

“There Is No Evil” spends 30 minutes establishing its premise, and another two hours taking it in surprising new directions. Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof’s unfolds across four stories about military men tasked with executions as they grapple with their options, contend with the fallout, and witness the impact it has on the people closest to them.

Rasoulof, who has been barred from leaving his country since 2017, has made an absorbing ride defined by the paradoxes of its people. Nobody in “There Is No Evil” has it easy: There’s no simple moral code when every possible option leads to a point of no return.

The four stories that comprise “There Is No Evil” involve a range of diverse men and women enmeshed in various hardships impacted by the executions their jobs demand of them. Some of them do it, some of them refuse, but they’re all trapped by the same troublesome quandary.
