This week it’s all about slasher films inspired by the recent screening of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The team discuss what makes a great slasher film, the slasher film tropes like the ‘final girl’, the best horror directors, and the importance of audience investment in the characters and actors. It’s all about ‘substance’ says Billy and ‘not just about the gore’.

Our presenters are Billy, Jake, Rhys and Connell. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.
