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).

I like them a lot! But they’re not experts in horror. And unfortunately I’d rather listen to people a little more knowledgeable.

I love the subject matter of this show. I I enjoy all of the different takes from the various hosts and how even when there is a negative opinion presented it’s still fun and not hateful.
