Hack or Slash - A Horror Movie Review Podcast
Hack or SlashEach week a panel of horror fans discuss horror movies past and present. We believe horror is for everyone, regardless of how familiar you are with the genre, or which flavor of fear you fancy most. We dissect new releases, compare originals to reboots, and tell you whether or not the movies are a hack (a waste of time) or a slash (totally killer - pun intended).

Trying to like it. Its strange to me how much the hosts cuss. Seems lazy and inarticulate like im in a locker room.

As someone who enjoys listening to in depth horror movie reviews and related podcasts before bed, I can’t say enough good things about Hack Or Slash.
Fantastic hosts, insightful and fun reviews and above all; you all have such nice voices to relax to. Some other review podcasts can get too abrasive for night-time listening but this one is perfect.
Pretty new listener to the podcast, but I look forward to you guys every week. The flavour of fear I fancy most. Highly recommend for horror hounds!
