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.

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".
Report
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.
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.
