Let us know your thoughtsBuckle your seatbelt, keep your eyes on the runway, and whatever you do, don't mess with fate. This week on The Horror Cut, Stephen and Gary take a hair-raising ride through the death-defying chaos of 2000's Final Destination.We're breaking down the original film that made us all paranoid about tanning beds, plane turbulence, and rogue logs on the highway. From its Rube Goldberg-style death sequences to its twisty take on destiny, we're diving into the flick that turned the Grim Reaper into the ultimate micromanager.Is Final Destination a brilliantly original concept that redefined supernatural horror, or just a series of elaborate freak accidents tied together by teen angst? Either way, death has a plan… and it doesn't like being skipped.IG - @thehorrorcutshow | @HewittGPro | @StephenkerrActor_Performer FB - Facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573701383591

This week on The Horror Cut, Stephen and Gary tiptoe into the nail-biting silence of 2018's breakout hit A Quiet Place.We're unpacking the terror of a world where noise equals death, from the film's brilliantly tense sound design to its heart-wrenching family dynamics. How does a horror movie with barely a word spoken manage to scream so loudly?Is A Quiet Place a masterclass in minimalism or just a high-concept thriller with a gimmick? Either way, keep your footsteps light—something's always listening.IG - @thehorrorcutshow | @HewittGPro | @StephenkerrActor_Performer FB - Facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573701383591

From the film's dreamlike atmosphere to its layered metaphors, we explore what makes It Follows such a modern horror standout.Is it a clever spin on the slasher formula or just an arthouse fever dream in disguise? Either way, don't slow down… something might be catching up.IG - @thehorrorcutshow | @HewittGPro | @StephenkerrActor_Performer FB - Facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573701383591

In those low moments, it's good to just switch off and talk about films!I'd like to thank Gary for asking me to be a part of this journey; for being so understanding, patient and just a wonderful co-host and now friend. I'd like to thank all of our wonderful guests for being so welcoming and open, and to thank the listeners for also welcoming me into their ears and just for continually being there to support us and helping the podcast grow. It's always reassuring and comforting to know that people out there that want to listen so please keep listening, reviewing, sharing and spreading the Choose Film joy! I can't wait to see what's in store for Choose Film next and wish all the luck and love in the world.Thank you for listening and take care!
