One Star Review Roast: Texas Chainsaw, Fright Night, Jaws, Child’s Play, Silence of the Lambs & Interview with the Vampire
Welcome to another gloriously unhinged One Star Review episode of Terror Talk Podcast, where we take the horror (and horror-adjacent) masterpieces you love — and read the most ridiculous, petty, and downright baffling one-star reviews the internet has to offer.This week, we’re taking aim at:The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – Apparently, some folks think Leatherface just needs a hug.Fright Night – Because who wouldn’t move in next door to a vampire?Jaws – “Too much shark.” (Yes… really.)Child’s Play – A doll possessed by a killer is unrealistic? Say it ain’t so.Silence of the Lambs – The reviews that will make you want to eat fava beans and chianti out of sheer frustration.Interview with the Vampire – Evidently, eternal life isn’t enough to keep some reviewers entertained.We roast these reviews, defend our beloved horror classics, and occasionally wonder if the reviewers even watched the movie they’re trashing. Spoilers abound — you’ve been warned!If you love horror, hate nonsense, and enjoy a good laugh at the expense of people with wildly bad takes, this is the episode for you. Whether you’re a gorehound, a horror historian, or just here for the sarcasm, you’ll feel right at home.Instagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongMusic Credit: Original music by Mannequin Uprising.
