This week we’re chopping our way into the swamp with Hatchet 🪓🌿 the gory love letter to classic slashers. And we’re not going in alone. We’re joined by Brian from the Killer Point of View Podcast 🎙️ to talk Victor Crowley, backwoods ghost stories, and why this movie feels like a haunted house that punches you right in the face 😬

We break down the characters, the practical effects, and of course we decide if that Opening Kill deserves the mighty Butcher Knife 🔪 or gets stuck with the dreaded Butter Knife 🧈

Grab a flashlight, a boat, and maybe don’t wander off for this one 👀 Listen now and be sure to check out Killer Point of View too! 🎧https://www.youtube.com/@UCOMX5zvNO-6JSa10Q5GoG3Q

This week on Opening Kill, we’re diving into the eerie, neon-drenched sci-fi horror Companion — the movie where grief gets a body count and technology gets way too personal. We’ll break down the plot, the vibes, and of course the killer design choices that make this one stand out in a sea of spooky future-shock nightmares.

And you know the drill — before we get into the deep cuts, we start at the beginning. Does this movie’s Opening Kill slice its way to the coveted Butcher Knife award? Or does it flop so hard it gets downgraded to the dreaded Butter Knife? We have opinions — sharp ones.

So plug in, tune in, and maybe double-check your smart devices before bed. Just saying.
