Slasher season IV - "Flesh & Blood" (2021)

A rich but dysfunctional family gathers regularly on the island where the father of the family lives, to participate in various competitions for the family inheritance.

'Flesh & Blood' is the most recent season of the Slasher TV series, with an increased popularity and budget since taken over by Shudder. With David Cronenberg as one of the actors (!), Season 4 is not very special in terms of achievements, in fact it is the weakest of all 4 so far, but it still manages to attract and entertain the viewers through the same effect of 'guilty pleasure' as before. The acting suffers this season, but the story still attracts and the curiosity is maintained until the end, and the finale is satisfactory, although maybe not fully unexpected.

Slasher season III - "Solstice" (2019)

One year after the brutal murder of a young man, the residents of the building where he lived are secretly hunted, one by one, by a serial killer named The Druid.

Season three of Slasher, Solstice, is another horror slasher miniseries, which follows the lives of the residents of a single building for a whole day, each episode covering three hours of that day, during which the Druid finds at least one new victim. The story has many elements of political correctness, which seems to have annoyed some of the viewers, but this aspect only diversifies the story. Probably not as good as the 2nd series, the 3rd series is captivating, it maintains the viewer's interest, it is predictable in some aspects, surprising in others. There's a bit of overkill involved as well.

Director:  Adam MacDonald   

Production:  Shudder, Chiller

Slasher Season II - "Guilty Party" (2017)

Camp Montega and a 5 year old event connect a group of friends who return to the old camp location in the middle of winter to get rid of the evidence.

The second season of the Slasher anthology series, Guilty Party, is another miniseries with a slasher horror theme. The story and execution are clearly superior to the first season, the characters are better defined and true to their own characterization, the murders seem to have become more extreme (not necessarily an advantage) and the season suffers only due to the fact that the "whodunnit" became quite obvious somewhere in the middle of the series, but somehow the episodes kept their charm even after that.

The name of the camp (Camp Montega) is a connection to the events of the first season.

Director:  Felipe Rodriguez   

Production:  Shudder, Chiller

Duration:  Season 2 of 4, each of 8 episodes (1 hour each)   

With: Leslie Hope, Christopher Jacot, Paula Brancati, Paulino Nunes, Ty Olsson, Joanne Vannicola, Jim Watson, Lovell Addams-Gray, Jefferson Brown
