In this episode of Opening Kill, we carve into Halloween Kills with our signature deep-dive format. From the brutal cold open to the return of legacy characters and the town's descent into mob justice, we break down the film's highs, lows, and blood-soaked details. As always, we discuss what worked, what didn't, and whether Michael Myers still has the slasher chops to scare in 2021. And of course, we crown the opening kill with either the coveted Butcher Knife or the dreaded Butter Knife. Spoilers, screams, and sharp opinions ahead—this is one you don't want to miss.

In episode 22 of Opening Kill, the crew takes on Ready or Not—the 2019 horror-comedy where a wedding night turns into a bloody game of hide-and-seek. We dive into everything from the wild story and over-the-top kills to the cast, with lots of love for Samara Weaving, who totally owns the role of the badass bride.

There's plenty of fun trivia thrown in too, like behind-the-scenes stuff and a few unexpected connections to other horror flicks. Of course, they break down the kills (because duh), talk about the gore factor, and just enjoy the chaotic energy of a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously—but still delivers on the blood and guts.

If you're into rich people getting wrecked and brides with shotguns, this episode's for you.

If you want to enhance your viewing experience, we highly recommend you check out https://thebirthdaymurders.net/ , then watch the movie!

In this chilling episode, Michael and Brian sink their teeth into the 2024 psychological horror film Longlegs. They kick things off by unpacking the eerie plot, centered on an FBI agent drawn into a disturbing serial killer case that blurs the lines between the occult and pure madness. The film weaves a slow-burn narrative with bursts of shocking violence, and the guys are all in on the tension and dread.

Acting Breakdown:
Michael and Brian give major props to the two leads:

• Maika Monroe as the emotionally reserved agent, who brings a quiet intensity that pulls the viewer in.

• And of course, Nicolas Cage, who is unrecognizable and absolutely unhinged as the titular killer. They highlight his performance as one of the most haunting and bizarre of his career—somewhere between mesmerizing and nightmare fuel.

The Kills:
No Opening Kill episode is complete without breaking down the death scenes. The boys dive into the film's brutal and atmospheric murders, discussing their buildup, execution, and impact on the story. There's a lot of love for how the kills are used not just for shock, but to deepen the psychological horror.

Opening Kill Rating:
The big question—does Longlegs' opening kill earn the prestigious Butcher Knife, or get demoted to the dreaded Butter Knife?
