The Killer Point Of View Podcast

This week, we step into the time loop of Happy Death Day (2017) — directed by Christopher Landon and made on a modest $4.8 million budget that exploded into a $125 million box office hit.But this isn’t just a slasher with a reset button.This isn’t just a masked killer stalking a college campus. This is a story about being trapped. Not by death but by yourself.Because in Happy Death Day, death isn’t the punishment….. reflection is.

This week on The Killer Point of View Podcast, we step into the quarantined town of Ogden Marsh to break down The Crazies, directed by Breck Eisner.On the surface, it’s a viral outbreak thriller about a small town descending into madness. But beneath the infection lies something far more unsettling. In this remake, the real contagion isn’t the virus — it’s the collapse of authority. When leadership falters, when systems fracture, and when those sworn to protect begin to panic, the horror stops being about what’s spreading… and starts being about what’s failing.

This week on The Killer Point Of View Podcast, we return from Christmas break by stepping into the snow-covered halls of one of the most debated horror films of all time: Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.More than forty years later, The Shining still haunts audiences — but why?

At what point does devotion become self-erasure? And how does Jack’s descent reveal something far more terrifying than the supernatural?We break down:​ Our favorite scenes​ The unforgettable “Killer Scene”​ The hidden messages buried inside Kubrick’s cold, calculated masterpiece​ 10 Killer Facts about the film’s production, casting, and legacyFrom the nearly year-long shoot… to the 900-ton snow maze… to the infamous “Here’s Johnny!” moment that required 60 doors… we uncover what makes this film as obsessive behind the scenes as it is on screen.Finally, we give you our Killer Point Of View — the deeper meaning we believe lives beneath the surface of the Overlook Hotel.Killer Question of the Week:Is love still considered love if you lose yourself trying to make someone else happy?Love might be the most dangerous thing in the room.
