Time for some Pig-Headed Horror! In Episode 046 of Horror Movie Weekly, your three late-night Horror hosts, Jay of the Dead, BillChete, and Lady Phantom review an Australian Slasher flick called The Furies (2019), which was BillChete and Lady Phantom’s No. 1 Horror film of 2019. We don’t want to oversell it, but in some ways, “The Furies” is every Slasher’s dream, due to its number of masked killers and ill-fated, not-so-final girls. Your hosts agree that this film features one of the very best kills in Horror history. Lady Phantom refers to one character as “Leatherface on steroids.” Jay compares “The Furies” to a 7-Eleven Slushee, or perhaps even the Cap’n Crunch “Oops! All Berries” version of Slasher movies. In any event, your three Horror hosts will explain why “The Furies” is a sure-bet for Slasher fans. Don’t forget to call and leave us a voicemail: (801) 215-9704.
