Hack or Slash - A Horror Movie Review Podcast

Hack or Slash

Each 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).

  • Great podcast

    Hack or Slash is by far THE best horror review podcast. I’ve listened to quite a bit of these kind of podcasts, but HOS is the only one that I continue to listen to. I like how each host gives their opinions with actual discussions between all of them. It’s nice that they break it into 2 parts so that there are no spoilers in case someone hasn’t seen the movie.

  • Scary, Good Fun!

    Listening to the group come at movies with all different points of view is fun to hear. The dynamic between everyone works really well and Kris has a perfect voice for podcasts. I could listen to her read nutrition facts on a label. Keep up the amazing work. As a dude who is only slightly older, born in 1984, I’ve enjoyed re-watching some old favorites and watching things I’ve never seen while listening to films be broken down intelligently. There are so many movie review podcasts that have an a... more

  • Five Slash Podcast!

    I thoroughly enjoy tuning in to Hack or Slash. Since I’ve started to listen to them, I have discovered other horror classics, been on a few episodes as a call in and even made a real life friendship with another listener. I can’t stress enough to add them to you playlist. Call in. Join in on the live recordings. And of course give them a slash, and a five star review.

  • Hard to follow(Talk to me episode)

    The three hosts bounced around to a degree that I couldn’t really get a good grasp of the narrative of the movie. Characters are mentioned with little to no set up or background. There is also a lot of inserting themselves, via “this character went through this, my friend went through this.” …And? If I don’t have a good handle on who the character is (much less the “friend,”)how does that contribute to the the listener’s engagement. Basically if there was a forth host who hadn’t seen the movie t... more
