Erin and Paul review two films about repressed, old-timey American towns under attack by imaginary supernatural outside forces: Nicholas Hytner's 1996 film adaptation of Arthur Miller's classic stage play THE CRUCIBLE; and M. Night Shyamalan's much-maligned 2004 parable THE VILLAGE. Mass hysteria or mass deception: which will prevail?

Erin and Paul sink their teeth into two films about women who can't stop eating men: Ivan Reitman's 1973 Canuxploitation cheapie CANNIBAL GIRLS (starring Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin), and Claire Denis' 2001 erotic horror shocker TROUBLE EVERY DAY (starring Vincent Gallo and Béatrice Dalle). A very hairy Eugene Levy or a very bloody Vincent Gallo: which will prevail? Plus our quick takes on AMERICAN ULTRA, DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL, PHOENIX, and THE WOLFPACK.
