Love is in the air… and so is the smell of blood.

In this episode of The Horror Cut, we’re getting caught up in the bloody business of romance as we dive into Heart Eyes (2025), the slasher horror-comedy that turns Valentine’s Day into a date with death. With a masked killer targeting couples, nobody is safe from Cupid’s deadly aim.

We discuss the film’s blend of slasher thrills, dark comedy and romantic tropes, exploring what happens when a classic meet-cute collides with a masked murderer.

So grab your other half, keep your eyes peeled, and maybe think twice before booking that romantic date.

Lock the doors, draw a circle, and prepare to cross the threshold. This episode, we’re dabbling in the dark arts.

We delve into A Dark Song (2016), Liam Gavin’s atmospheric occult horror that follows a grieving mother willing to endure an extraordinary ordeal to contact her dead son. Blending ritual magic, psychological torment and creeping dread, this is a film that takes its time, where every step towards the supernatural comes at a price.

Joining us as a special guest is Scott Walker, a Glasgow-based sound recordist and designer, as well as co-host of the Sh*t You May Not Have Seen* podcast. We explore how the film’s unsettling soundscape, restrained approach and suffocating atmosphere help build its sense of unease.

We discuss the film’s approach to occult horror, its patient storytelling, and why sometimes what you don’t see or hear is far more terrifying.

Before The Horror Cut, there was Choose Film: A Reel Retrospective.

With Practical Magic 2 on the horizon during SPOOKY SEASON, we’re digging into the archives and bringing you a special Bonus Reel from Gary Hewitt’s time on Choose Film, as he and Rebecca wrap up their season of films centred around MAGIC.

First up, things get decidedly less magical with The Change-Up (2011), before we head into the world of witches, sisterhood, curses and questionable resurrection choices with Practical Magic (1998).

This episode is a little different from your usual Horror Cut episode, but Practical Magic gives us plenty to talk about from its gothic atmosphere and supernatural elements to its complicated relationships and enduring cult following.

So, before the sequel arrives, why not revisit where it all began?

The Horror Cut presents: Bonus Reel – The Change-Up & Practical Magic.
