We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Liam talks about watching the film Whirlpool and the Netflix show The Last Kids On Earth. Justin talks about seeing the films Verotika, Butt Boy, and Endangered Species.

Up first is Edge Of The Axe. We begin by discussing how Justin is not a fan of slashers overall. We talk about the intensity of the film’s kills, not in how extravagant they are but more in how intense they were.

The film’s attempts at a red herring are touched upon, and we talk about the traditional device of the red herring and how American slashers differ from European slashers in that typically the identity of the killer is already known as opposed to “whodunnit” style movie.

The films obvious non-English speaker having written the script quality is talked about. We talk about how the film, despite clearly being done for a paycheck doesn’t look like it and has a dedicated feel to it that a lot of slashers don’t have. We go on a tirade involving hardcore.
