Ep. 122: Killing Ground (2017)

In the haunting words of Sarah McLachlan, “There’s always some reason to feel not good enough,” and that is certainly the case after watching this week’s Feature Review: Damien Power’s Killing Ground (2017). Another reason to not feel good enough is because Mister Watson was unable to join us for this episode; however, we make up for it with a very special guest…

That’s right! Here in Episode 122 of Horror Movie Weekly, Projectile Varmint and Jay of the Dead welcome special guest and friend-of-the-show, Horror_Heart (aka “Libby”) from the Pacific Northwest! In addition to joining us to help us review this brutal Horror film, Libby reviews a Horror video game and sent us a Killing Ground-themed drawing, which you can find in the show notes below! This is a fun episode, so join us! Remember, you are welcome to call and leave us a voicemail at (801) 215-9704. Join us!

Note: This episode was recorded on August 24, 2022, and was released on September 13, 2022.

This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (We’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years, so now that it’s 2022, we’ll be covering Horror films from 2017 to the present.) And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!
