Next of Kin (1982): Australia's Gothic Shining? 🎥🕯️: Horror - 2 Guys & A Chainsaw

Could “Next of Kin” (1982) be Australia’s answer to gothic horror classics like "The Shining"? 🎥🕯️ This week on 2 Guys And A Chainsaw, we dive into this atmospheric slow-burn thriller that Quentin Tarantino himself described as a hidden gem of '80s horror. With its haunting cinematography, moody setting, and a final act that kicks into high gear, this Australian film directed by New Zealanders has sparked some serious debate between us. Is it a masterpiece or just a bit too slow?

Join us as we explore this gothic mystery filled with family secrets, eerie mansions, and a touch of Kubrick-inspired visuals. Plus, we compare its stunning shots, pacing, and chilling vibes to iconic classics like “The Shining,” “Suspiria,” and “Don’t Look Now.” Whether you’re a seasoned horror movie fan or just looking for your next spooky watch, this episode has it all—heated opinions, behind-the-scenes trivia, and maybe even a laugh or two.
