Best movie ever!

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I made a profile to write this review because season 2 made me so angry. It is a basic slasher flick overall, and if you are in it for gore and mundane story, it is OK, maybe. But if you are in for anything better, it is going to disappoint. It will lead you on, and then like Scooby-Doo, it just switches to the least obvious person for no reason. This carries you along, but pulls itself apart as time goes on, painfully. Watching this was a waste of time, and I regret it.

Ignore the reviews on here. Wait til a nice late night. Turn off the lights and dive in to a modern day take on the slasher genre so many of us loved during the 80s. You are not going to get Oscar winning performances. Ummm. It is called Slasher. But it's worth checking out.

It just drags on and on my friend. It is just recap after recap. The beauty of cheesy horror movies is that they are short.

As a few others have stated, Season 2 of the Netflix series SLASHER is so much better than Season 1! So I'm going to cheat here and give a high rating, but ONLY based on Season 2. Then we can talk about Season 1. Season 2 of Slasher is an extremely complicated and clever homage to the horror genre in general. A tight, well-written, engrossing 8-episode journey that digs deep into the lives of it's large cast of characters. The interconnected story involves two groups of characters. The first group are 5 twenty-something friends and former camp counselors (Dawn, Peter, Noah, Susan, Andi) who killed one of their fellow counselors Talvinder and upon hearing that a resort is going to be built on the property, return to the scene of their crime to retrieve the remains and dispose of them for good. The camp property is currently a peaceful retreat occupied by 8 older, world-weary characters (Judith, Antoine, Mark, Glenn, Renee, Wren, Keira, Gene) who live a life of repentant and reformed solitude. During the winter, the 5 friends rent one of the retreat cabins so they can execute their plan to retrieve of and dispose of the body. But things get complicated as a killer appears to be among the 13 and they must work together to stay alive whilst simultaneously trying to figure out the 'Guilty Party' (the season's subtitle) is.I was amazed at how the makers of Season 2 were able to stretch essentially what is usually a 90-minute slasher movie into 8 fully immersive and showstopping hours of entertainment. Via flashback storytelling, it succeeds by delving deeply into each character's life and fleshing all of them out giving them dimension and value. Every episode is excellent, with lots of suspense and horror to complement all the character-building and interactions within and between the 2 groups. Even with all the twists and turns, I think this season is very re-watchable. The music choices were perfect. And there are surprisingly not a lot of jump scares, relying on the characters to drive the story, not the horror. My favorite characters were probably Dawn and Mark.And now to Season 1! LOL I'm going to assume Season 1 was just an experiment gone wrong, because it is nowhere near the brilliance that is the second season. Season 1 has incredibly bad and amateur acting (the lead actress is Irish and her accent kept slipping all the time), too many jump scares as substitutes for actual suspense, and too many mis-directs as to who the killer was. It was the opposite of fluid storytelling. Let's just waste every episode telling a new story that goes nowhere in terms of building character or moving the plot forward. Another thing that bugged me about Season 1 is that the background extras looked way too much like extras. It really took me out of the story, which wasn't good in itself anyway. Just everything about Season 1, from the writing to the acting to the editing to the pacing, felt amateurish. So I'm going to either assume Season 1 was a glitch or that there was a new set of writers.
