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.
