Slasher

Finally we got a new worthy old school slasher tv series. this is how those should be done. A great old school formula with plenty of gore strong characters and scary moments which will leave you wanting more. I watched so far first two seasons and they succeed where AHS failed. thank god this was not another failed black parody of the 80s slasher genre like AHS was. when u make "slasher horror" make it right. don't make a foolish black comedy with idiotic supernatural elements like they have done at least in the similar "camp horror" season 9 of AHS. thank god "slasher" series are SERIOUS and first two seasons were awesome. especially season 2 was like re-watching the Friday the 13th series and that was a very nostalgic and great feeling all the f13 fans got when they watch this season 2 tribute to little Jason and him mom....LOL i'm sure season 3 will be great too and I can't wait to buy the dvd's and blu rays to watch this again and again with plenty of extras.

ALL IN ALL

if u are slasher f13 fan u must not just watch this series. U MUST BUY THEM.

Grade // 8 out of 10

I rated S1 a 6, basically for the reasons others have given. S2 however is a different kettle if fish. Superb acting and storyline, good use of flashbacks. You can almost feel the anxiety in the lodge. Score bumped up to an 8.

I wish there were a separate listing for Season 2 of this anthology horror show, but this will have to do.

Not sure what happened but the quality of this second season blows Season 1 out of the water; production values, location, plot, acting. While it might seem there is the usual derivative disguised killer theme at work, there is guesswork on hand for the audience to make their own decision, clever use of flashbacks, and misdirection. Really, well done all involved. A good ride.

Move aside American Horror Story, there is a new king in the anthology world.

At the time I write this I have only seen the first two seasons, but my review would have been the same after just the first episode to season one. This is a Canadian made anthology series about serial killers. The writers do an excellent job with the plot and keeping you guessing as to the true identity of the killer in each season. As the title implies it is a series about someone murdering people a lot like the horror movies of the eighties. Where AHS is superior in the casting department, this series in far superior in the gore and story telling. The only exception to this is the second season of AHS which I do not feel will ever be bested by any series ever, but I digress.

For everyone that is complaining about the casting, as I stated before this is a Canadian made series, so I am sure that they casted Canadian actors first, and those actors do a great job in their roles. If you are a true horror fan, then I cannot ay enough good about this and I suggest you drop everything and watch it poste haste. I did not give it ten stars only because it is close to perfect but not quite there.

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.
