Episode 208 - The Outwaters (2022) - Listener's Choice

Welcome back to The Horror Project Podcast! This week, Laura and Phil dive into a "Hidden Gem" theme for July with your Listener's Choice pick, The Outwaters (2022), chosen by @zombie__Simon, aka Simon.

What starts as a simple trip to the Mojave Desert to film a music video quickly spirals into one of the most chaotic, surreal, and downright baffling found footage horrors out there. Strange phenomena? Tick. Brutal violence? Tick. Existential confusion? Oh, absolutely.

We're diving headfirst into this wildly divisive film to ask the big questions: what's actually going on? Are we dealing with aliens, a time loop, an axe-wielding maniac, a secret Area 51-style government experiment... or is it somehow all of the above?

Along the way, we compare The Outwaters to other found footage favourites, unpack why it's become such a love-it-or-hate-it horror experience, and take a moment to roast poor Robbie for bringing what might just be the worst torch in cinematic history.

Thanks so much for listening! Be sure to follow us on Instagram, and keep sending in your picks for future Listener's Choice episodes. We love hearing what you want us to cover next!
