Opening Kill

This week, we descend into the fog-soaked nightmare of Silent Hill, a movie we absolutely cannot stand. 😤 From the bizarre plot choices to the endless grayscale misery, we’re dragging ourselves through this one so you don’t have to.
Join us as we break down the confusion, the creatures, the cult, and why this film tested every ounce of our patience. Expect rants, laughs, and maybe a few screams of frustration.
Grab your flashlight, hold your nose, and step into the ash cloud with us—because even though we hate this movie, we love talking about bad ones. 👀🔥

This week on Opening Kill, we dive into the chaotic holiday horror-comedy Black Friday—because nothing says the season of giving like customers turning into monstrous rage-fueled creatures. We break down the mayhem inside the toy store, the over-the-top gore, and the surprisingly charming performances (yes, including Bruce Campbell being peak Bruce Campbell).
We also take a look at the Opening Kill to determine whether it earns the coveted Butcher Knife or gets stuck with the dreaded Butter Knife.
Grab your leftover turkey sandwiches and join us for a wild ride through retail horror at its finest. 🦃🛒💥

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.
