Kundrecensioner
Fantastic!
Great pod for those who want to look a little deeper into the horror genre.
Intressant och lite väl hetsigt
Podden är för oss som vill veta på djupet om skräck och varför det är som den är.
Mycket grundlig forskning om man vill nörda sig ordentligt.
Det är även ett minus, tycker jag. Det blir lite segt och tungt emellanåt, känns som det blir informations overload och hetsigt. Vill man bara lyssna och chilla är denna podd inte det bästa valet.
Dessutom diskuterar Faculty för det mesta så-kallade viktiga skräckfilmer, inte det mer lättsamma i genren. Det kan lätt bli deppigt och dystert i längden.
För mig är även mindre b- skräckfilm även värt att granskas, inte enbart skräck som anses vara viktiga. Så det blir bara tre stjärnor.
The best!
There’s no better horror podcast out there! Insightful, intelligent analysis, presented in a fun and captivating way by the two amazing hosts.
