A Quiet Place
In this episode of The Killer Point Of View Podcast, we dive into the hauntingly quiet world of John Krasinski’s 2018 horror film A Quiet Place. We kick things off by asking: what are some of the most unforgettable opening scenes in horror history—and does A Quiet Place earn a spot on that list?From there, we explore the film’s massive impact on the genre, discuss whether we’d survive in a world where sound equals death, and how such a terrifying reality would change our everyday lives. Is A Quiet Place just another monster movie, or is there a deeper meaning hidden beneath the silence?We also break down the film’s most intense moments, debate whether we’d rather live in a soundless world or a zombie-infested one like Train to Busan, and ask: has this film changed the way you think about sound?Plus, we share some behind-the-scenes facts, ratings, our personal recommendations, and announce what film we’re covering next. Don’t make a sound… just hit play.

We’ll also break down some interesting facts about the film, give our ratings, and recommend a few other horror films.And, of course, stick around until the end for an announcement about our next episode—you don’t want to miss it!

The Ring (2002)
In this episode of The Killer Point Of View Podcast, we’re getting a little creative with horror’s biggest “what if” — what if the Oscars actually gave horror the recognition it deserves? We’re each handing out five Oscars to anything in the genre: actors, directors, costume design, kills — no rules, just love for horror.Then we turn our attention to The Ring (2002), the movie that made us afraid of VHS tapes and static screens. We break down how it helped redefine horror in the early 2000s and ask: would the infamous seven-day curse still be scary in today’s digital age where content spreads instantly?And here’s the real moral dilemma—if your life depended on it, who would you show the tape to? A stranger… or someone close?We also talk about whether The Ring still holds up today, give it a spot on our Fear Factor scale, share some creepy facts, give our final rating, and close things out with a few solid horror recommendations you should add to your watchlist.Press play… just don’t answer the phone after.
