There’s a tighter version of “Flesh & Blood” with a few better actors that really slays. Until then, this one is just sharp enough to slice its way into the hearts of horror fans looking for a late summer diversion.
It’s an enjoyably ludicrous premise which sits somewhere between Agatha Christie classic And Then There Were None, recent aristocratic horror comedy Ready or Not and mid-‘00s one-season wonder Harper’s Island. The acting, on the other hand, is more daytime soap opera. ... By taking aim at the privilege of the 1%, the most satisfying [chapter], too. But we’d still prefer Cronenberg to take the director’s chair for season five.
Despite not being that compelling with stories and characters, I find all of its kills to be beyond creative and masterfully done. Even some of its seasons paid homage to other great classics like the first Friday the Thirteenth for season 2.
If you're expecting extensive character development, look elsewhere. If you, like me, are in it for the kills, you'll like "Slasher". Season 3 "Solstice" is the best thus far IMHO. The show attempts to make a point about our social media obsession. I'm not sure it completely hits home. But it is disgusting to watch people pretending to lead exciting lives online only to be completely miserable in the real world. The eight episodes of "Solstice" are chock full of craziness. It's sexy, it's violent and I loved it. The final reveal of the killer/killers is well worth the wait. Just look past the fact that the "Druid" looks like someone straight outta "The Purge".
Martin’s experience working on teenage soaps is on full display in scenes involving some of the Waterbury residents, and the writer’s attempts to bring texture and complexity to each of them comes up a little short given how performances generally fall across the sudsy spectrum of horror movie clichés.
The two installments made available for review are a mishmash overall, swinging frequently between the inspired and the inept, especially in terms of writing and performance.
Season 3 is beyond stellar if your a horror fan. Scary not much... but gruesome death kills and keeps you guessing until the end. I am surprised how much I like this season compared to season 1. I highly recommend season 3.
On the strength of an almost perfect season two, I'd rate this show an 8. Seasons one and three, respectively, rate a 6 and 7 but season two is a great, great 9/10. That season was the best whodunit I've seen in 20 years or more. Excellent from beginning to end.
What kind of garbage is this season? Seasons 1 and 2 were enjoyable seasons that had its share of gore but at least there was a storyline and some character development even if it was flawed. Season 3 is marred by terrible casting, poor excuses for actors, gore just for the sake of gore, and a non-existing plot. Terrible waste of my time even though I spent most of it falling asleep.
