<p>🎥 Milk and Serial — DIY Horror, Deadpan Psychopaths & Brick-Wielding Chaos</p><p><br></p><p>Coming in at #7 on our “Top 13 Horror Films of 2024” list is Milk and Cereal — a wild little microbudget feature made for just $800 and currently streaming for free on YouTube.</p><p><br></p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbzGQ1lszv4</p><p><br></p><p>Yes. $800.</p><p><br></p><p>Written, directed, and shot by a pair of YouTubers, the film uses lo-fi aesthetics, found-footage energy, and a deeply unhinged villain to build a story that somehow works... even when the blood looks like cherry syrup and the camera won’t sit still.</p><p><br></p><p>🎬 The Premise</p><p>Two best friends run a prank YouTube channel. One is called Milk. The other is Seven (he’s the seventh Steve they’ve known). On the surface, it’s all jokes — fake gunshots, birthday cake reveals, and hidden cameras.</p><p><br></p><p>But Milk has a darker plan.</p><p><br></p><p>🔪 One prank reveals another, and suddenly we’re in serial killer territory<br>📼 The whole film plays out through handhelds and home setups<br>🎭 A twisted YouTuber double-life unfolds — equal parts Blair Witch and Deadstream, with darker undertones</p><p><br></p><p>It’s weird. It’s disturbing. It’s smart in places. And one scene — a brick monologue — is straight-up haunting.</p><p><br></p><p>🧠 What Worked</p><ul><li><p><strong>The villain.</strong> Milk is a fully realized character, terrifying in his calm and casually cruel logic</p></li><li><p><strong>The writing.</strong> Some lines are razor-sharp. You want to see this again with a real budget</p></li><li><p><strong>The themes.</strong> Fame, content culture, psychological manipulation — all layered underneath DIY blood and handheld chaos</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p>You can feel the limitations — but you also see the potential.</p><p><br></p><p>It’s not a perfect film. It’s shaky. It’s rough. But it’s one of the most memorable viewing experiences we’ve had this year. And if this is the start? We’ll be watching what these filmmakers do next — hopefully with real funding.</p><p><br></p><p>🎬 Milk and Cereal – Streaming free on YouTube<br>📽️ Directed by a pair of YouTubers-turned-filmmakers<br>📊 Budget: $800 (yes, really)</p><p><br></p><p>🍿 <strong>Cade & Kit Pairing Picks:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Drink:</strong> Store-brand energy drink (the kind with a cracked seal and no explanation)</p></li><li><p><strong>Snack:</strong> Cold leftover birthday cake from a prank party</p></li><li><p><strong>Activity:</strong> Watching a “this got dark fast” YouTube compilation at 2am</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p>💬 What’s the best microbudget horror you’ve seen? And could you make a movie for $800? Let us know. Or pitch us your fake YouTube channel ideas.

<p>🎥 Oddity — Isolation, Ghosts & a Wooden Man at the Table</p><p><br></p><p>Coming in at #8 on our “Top 13 Genre Films of 2024” list is Oddity — a horror-thriller that surprised us with smart pacing, grounded characters, and more than a few jump scares. Distributed by Shudder and IFC Films, it’s streaming now on Amazon Prime and AMC+.</p><p><br></p><p>We watched this one in a hotel room (perfect vibes), and it gave us ghosts, grief, and a wooden mannequin that might be cursed. Let’s get into it.</p><p><br></p><p>🪵 The Premise</p><p>A woman is brutally murdered while renovating an isolated stone house she shares with her husband — a psychologist working in a nearby mental institution. A year later, her blind twin sister (who owns an oddities shop and can see the past by touching objects) shows up with a crate... and some unresolved questions.</p><p><br></p><p>🔪 Grief meets clairvoyance📸 A time-lapse camera catches something terrifying👁️ A glass eye reveals the truth — and it’s not what it seems</p><p><br></p><p>From a tense first act to a full-circle supernatural showdown, Oddity nails the eerie energy without relying on gore. And when the scares hit? They hit.</p><p><br></p><p>👻 What Worked for Us</p><ul><li><p>The <strong>set design</strong> is gorgeous and creepy — think medieval courtyard meets construction zone</p></li><li><p>The <strong>acting</strong> is top-tier, especially the girlfriend (shoutout to a scene-stealing performance)</p></li><li><p>The <strong>scares</strong> are earned — three solid jump scares that still got us, even when we saw them coming</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p>And we loved the blend of supernatural logic with grounded tension. The clairvoyant sister never felt over-explained — it just worked.</p><p><br></p><p>It’s one of those rare horror films that gives you mystery, emotional payoff, and a haunted figurine that’s both weird and deeply upsetting.</p><p><br>Would we open the door for a stranger with a glass eye warning us we’re not alone?<br>We’d like to say no. But... we’re real people.</p><p><br></p><p>🎬 Oddity – Streaming now🎥 Distributed by Shudder & IFC Films📺 Available on Amazon Prime & AMC+</p><p><br></p><p>🍿 <strong>Cade & Kit Pairing Picks:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Drink:</strong> Cold white wine you almost spill in fear</p></li><li><p><strong>Snack:</strong> A warm blanket (we’re counting it as a snack)</p></li><li><p><strong>Activity:</strong> Watching this from bed and then double-checking your time-lapse camera footage</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p>💬 Have you ever seen a horror movie that made you rethink how you’d react in real life?

<p>🎥 I Saw the TV Glow — Weird, Emotional, and Possibly Brilliant (??)</p><p><br></p><p>Let’s just say it: We’re not sure what we just watched.</p><p><br></p><p>This week, we’re reviewing I Saw the TV Glow — one of the most abstract, indie-core, polarizing films we’ve covered in a while. It’s emotional. It’s eerie. It’s confusing. And somehow… it landed in our Top 13 Genre Films of 2024.</p><p><br></p><p>Was it horror? Sci-fi? A metaphor? A breakdown in real time?</p><p><br></p><p>We honestly couldn’t tell — but we have theories.</p><p><br></p><p>📺 The Premise</p><p>A teenage boy forms a friendship with an older emo girl who introduces him to a cult late-night TV show. She disappears. He grows up. Ten years later, she reappears claiming… they’ve been inside the TV show the whole time.</p><p><br></p><p>Wait — what?</p><p><br></p><p>🌀 It’s not a plot twist. That’s the start of the movie.🎭 Cue emotional breakdowns, surreal visuals, and lingering trauma🧠 Themes of creativity, gender identity, disassociation, and queer longing</p><p><br></p><p>🎭 What’s Actually Happening?</p><p>We’re still debating.</p><p><br></p><p>Option A: It’s a deeply personal metaphor for creatives who never got to create. For those who feel more “real” inside fiction than real life.<br>Option B: It’s a dreamy, metaphor-heavy exploration of gender identity, asexuality, and societal suppression.<br>Option C: It’s nonsense that feels like it should mean something.</p><p><br></p><p>Also: There’s a talking LG TV box. A heavy metal bar. A weirdly touching song. And a monologue that might be genius or a fever dream.</p><p><br></p><p>🧠 Final Verdict</p><p>It’s not “fun.”<br>It’s not traditionally horror.<br>It is unforgettable — in a “why is my chest tight?” kind of way.</p><p><br></p><p>🎬 I Saw the TV Glow – Official A24 Film🎥 Produced by Emma Stone🎟️ In select theaters — streaming TBD</p><p><br></p><p>🍿 <strong>Cade & Kit Pairing Picks:</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Drink:</strong> A flat soda next to a flickering fish tank</p></li><li><p><strong>Snack:</strong> Ice cream that makes you feel like crying</p></li><li><p><strong>Activity:</strong> Rewatching old VHS tapes and wondering who you really are</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p>💬 Was this a metaphor for queer identity? A creative’s internal monologue? A Sundance trap? Tell us what you saw glowing on your screen — we’re genuinely curious.</p><p><br></p><p>Subscribe for our weekly reviews as we continue watching and rating everything from top-tier horror to cult classics and indie sleepers.</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 <strong>Spotify</strong>: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2kaH2BpUcEouX5LWCUQ7ed?si=c041dd42fdb24a9c" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Follow Us Here</a></p><p>🍏 <strong>Apple Podcasts</strong>: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cade-and-kit/id1771553610" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Subscribe Here</a></p><p>📸 <strong>Instagram</strong>: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cadeandkit" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@cadeandkit</a></p><p><br></p><p>[email protected]</p><p>Publication: <a href="" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">I'm Here With Magazine</a></p><p><br></p><p>Until next time…<strong>We’re Cade & Kit.
