Join us for a battle — a couple of them! During Episode 004 of Horror Movie Weekly, BillChete picks “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” (2017), a film that he calls “the most unique Horror film you will have ever seen by far.” BillChete also said this flick is “one of the most unnerving, freaky movies I have seen in the past two decades.” But this a controversial film among your Triad of Terror — Jay of the Dead, BillChete and Lady Phantom, so join us as we lock horns to discuss “The Killing of a Sacred Deer.”

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!
