Slayers

I've seen bad movies. I've seen horrible movies. I've seen movies so bad they're good. Then there's Slayers. It's just plain horrible. 81 minutes I'll never get back. Normally I like Thomas Jane, Malin Akerman., and Abigail Breslin, but I don't understand why any of them agreed to be in this insult to cinema. I know some actors do terrible projects for a paycheck. I just can't imagine any of them getting paid much for this thing. The concept is terrible. The writing is terrible. The directing choices are terrible. The acting is terrible. The editing is terrible. Throw every terrible cliché in a bag, pull one at random, and you'll find it in this movie.

This is how you stack the deck with some fine actors and only enable them to fail. The script is surprisingly mundane on this. The camera work, directing, and editing is equally as bad. The end product, although entertaining for small occasional moments, is incoherent and tedious with just a lot of random surreal scene fractions spewed out to kill the time. There are pieces and parts that are ok, and some fractions can be entertaining at their core, but the clumsy filming style with the camera always moving and bouncing around brings it down to an abnoxious level, similar to the sterotype influencers put in as characters. The actors were the only saving grace to keep this from being a turned-it-off event for me.

There is absolutely nothing positive or good I can say about this movie. If I could give it a 0-Rating, I would. I have seen some 'stinkers' in my life, but this movie was so bad I had to come and warn you & other movie-goers:

"No! No! No! Steer clear & run away!"

I watched the movie till the end in the hopes that it might get better or end on a high note. It never did. The acting, the music, the camera work, the bad dialogue, the actors... everything is just bad!

I wish I had money to throw away like the people or film houses that actually produce or approve these films. Thomas Jane & Malin Akerman must really be hard up for work. It's sad, because they have made good movies before.

You cant be using tik tok gen kids and horror together. The horror part being that it is all just tik tok. It will never work so STOP!!! You're making me throw up, seriously! I couldnt even watch the first two minutes without you spreading more social media on us: Instagram, tik tok, etc. Being desperate for views and attention type of spoiled rich kids and lovers of themselves only! I could see it already they all just being so oblivious and shallow on the inside, a lost generation, and that's how this "movie" i already knew within these 2 minutes how it will be, shallow. Just make something useful, outstanding or really entertaining. The BIG 3! This film is none of that, and Tik tok or who was the most followers on Instagram is not even that entertaining for the many of us.

Well, the 2022 horror comedy "Slayers" definitely had potential to be something good. And I will say that I was initially intrigued by the movie's synopsis and also the fact that Thomas Jane was in the movie. Needless to say that I had to sit down and watch the movie and have my curiosity sated.

And while the concept for "Slayers" was good, then writers Zack Imbrogno and K. Asher Levin went a little bit overboard here, and the movie went from being a fun and enjoyable horror comedy to somewhat of a farce. The storyline just drowned away in the constant attempts from writers Zack Imbrogno and K. Asher Levin to put in as much crazy stuff as possible.

It was a shame that the writers went overboard with mutating this movie into something rather grotesque, because it took away from the enjoyment of the movie. I have to say that "Slayers" turned out to be quite something else than what I had anticipated.

They had a good cast ensemble for the movie, with the likes of Thomas Jane, Malin Akerman and others. However, the actors and actresses were struggling with having a subpar script to work with here.

Visually then "Slayers" was a good movie, and that at least counted for something.

While I sat through the entire 88 minutes that the movie ran for, I was only mildly entertained. It is not a horror comedy that I am going to be recommending to people, nor is it a horror comedy that I will ever return to watch a second time.

My rating of director K. Asher Levin's 2022 horror comedy "Slayers" lands on a four out of ten stars.
