Opening Kill Episode 70: Send Help

🏝️✈️ This week we’re diving into Sam Raimi’s wild survival horror ride that strands Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien on a deserted island after a brutal plane crash. What starts as a tense survival story quickly spirals into a darkly funny, bloody battle of power, paranoia, and revenge. 🩸🔥 We talk Raimi’s signature gore and chaos, the shifting dynamics between Linda and her nightmare boss Bradley, and just how unhinged this movie gets by the final act. From gnarly island survival moments to shocking twists and over-the-top horror insanity, this one gave us plenty to unpack. 🌴😱🐗 Is this Raimi’s triumphant return to horror greatness or a messy fever dream?

Opening Kill Episode 67: Sinners

In this episode, we sink our teeth into Sinners (2025), Ryan Coogler’s genre-bending Southern Gothic vampire thriller set in 1930s Mississippi. With Michael B. Jordan pulling double duty as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, this film blends horror, blues music, and cultural history into one unforgettable experience. We break down the film’s haunting atmosphere, explosive performances, and the deeper themes of family, community, and survival that make it far more than your average vampire story. From the juke joint chaos to the blood-soaked showdowns, Sinners gave us plenty to talk about so tune in as we unpack one of 2025’s boldest horror films. 🎬🩸🔥 Follow Opening Kill on our social media, to stay up to date on news and fun series we are doing.

Opening Kill Episode 66: Malignant

In this week’s episode, we dive headfirst into the absolute chaos that is Malignant, a movie that starts as a creepy haunted-house mystery 👻 and then completely loses its mind (in the best way possible) 🤯🔪. We break down James Wan’s wild tonal shifts, the over-the-top kills 🩸, and that twist that turns the whole movie on its head 😵‍💫. From eerie visions 👁️ to full-blown police-station mayhem 🚔💥, we talk about what works, what doesn’t, and why this film has become such a polarizing favorite among horror fans 🎭. Is it genius? Is it ridiculous? Honestly… it’s kind of both 😈😂. If you love your horror weird, bold, and just a little unhinged, this episode is for you 🎙️. Buckle up because Malignant does NOT play by the rules ⚡🧠. Follow Opening Kill on our social media, to stay up to date on news and fun series we are doing.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
