Slasher (New Horror Anthology Series)

A new Canadian-American horror and suspense anthology TV series, Slasher has premiered on Chiller on March 6, 2016. The eight-episode first season is a co-production between Shaftesbury Films, Chiller and Super Channel, a Canadian network that will broadcast Slasher beginning on April 1, 2016. The series is created by Aaron Martin and executive produced by Aaron Martin, Greg Philips, Jonathan Ford, Christina Jennings and Scott Garvie.

The season-long anthology format will in fact be connected by an overarching thriller plot, to be resolved by the series finale. The current season focuses on Sarah Bennet (Katie McGrath), who returns to her hometown three decades after her parents horrific murders, and has to confront the copycat killer. “The Executioner” is apparently punishing some of Waterbury's residents for committing the seven deadly sins. The original killer is still behind bars, giving advice to Sarah, in a Hannibal Lecter-like way.

The show finished airing a few months back, but I came across this the other month when I saw an advert for it on TV as Pick had picked it up here in the UK, so I thought I'd give it a go but I forgot about it so I've been binge-watching it over the past few days and it's actually really good so far. I'm on episode 5 and there's 8 episodes in the first season. And if renewed, it's an anthology horror series like AHS and SQ.

If you're a fan of American Horror Story or Scream TV Series, this would definitely be up your street. The first season is about a killer called The Executioner and it's quite similar to Scream TV Series, but I think it's better so far. There's everything for everybody - some gruesome kills, gore, suspense, drama, mystery and thriller.

Has anybody else watched it?

Sounds very unoriginal imo

[Rob!]

Not the masked magician turning psycho

Sounds very unoriginal imo

I thought that too, but I'm surprised by how good it was and the kills are based on the Seven Deadly Sins instead of just random killings.

[Will.]

oooh I like the sound of this, I'm going to watch it right now.

Thanks for posting this as I would probs never have come across it.

No worries. I think you'll love it given you're a fan of shows like this, as am I. :laugh:

And it seems pretty obscure - I hadn't heard of it at all till I saw the advert for it on TV. It's not as well-known as the other horror anthology shows.

[Jason.]

Then watch Merlin and appreciate Morgana tbh

I did!

[Lostie!]

OH! Didn't have you pegged as a Merlin fan for some reason :laugh:

[Amy Jade]

I really enjoyed it, reminded me a bit of Harpers Island.

I think Katie is a good actress, she was underused in Jurassic World

[Adamw92]

Katie McGrath :lovedup:

[LukeB]

This was amazing!!!!!!

[LukeB]

I love how the killers murders were based on the seven deadly sins and the deaths were amazing. Sarah is such a good actress :clap1:

[Jason.]

Where are the lies tho?

[armand.kay]

Watching this now and I'm finding it very predictable and a tad boring but still better than scream the series due to all la gore

[Will.]

Season 2 is so much better, way more gore x

[Mystic Mock]

It's a decent series.

It's not the best Slasher of all time imo, but it's a decent series and overhated by some of the American audiences imo.

[Mystic Mock]

Season 2 is so much better, way more gore x

Audrey and Noah leading the show improved the show in season 2.

Emma was boring as ****.

[Jason.]

Netflix picked the show up and the second season came out last week. :clap1:

Second season centers around camp counsellors with a buried secret or something according to Wikipedia so that should be fun!

[Jason.]

I forgot nobody watched this apart from me

[Tom4784]

I watched the first season a few months ago and enjoyed it. I shall perch S2 when I have a moment.

[Jason.]

Dezzy likes it and he has amazing taste so y'all should too!

[RileyH]

I'm guessing it's good?

[Natalie.]

I did watch the first episode of season 1 when it came out but didn't bother with the rest.

I think I'll start it again

[LukeB]

Started season 2 today and the first episode was great :clap1:

[Amy Jade]

When is season 2 coming to netflix?

i borrowed my firestick out

[LukeB]

When is season 2 coming to netflix?

i borrowed my firestick out

I have no idea, originally i thought it was on netflix but it wasn't so it must be on US/Canada netflix ugh.

it's on Kodi so you can watch it online i think

[Barry.]

I need to watch this.

[LukeB]

I need to watch this.

you should! i loved the first episode

[Amy Jade]

I might take my firestick back tonight and watch then instead of playing ft13th

[LukeB]

I might take my firestick back tonight and watch then instead of playing ft13th

you should

the deaths are quite disturbing and i love it

[Jase.]

This is so my kinda thing but I always thought "nah it's gonna be cheesy and cringe as **** with crap acting" - is it actually good?

[Jason.]

I haven't gotten around to seeing the second season, but the first was great in my opinion.

Entertaining throughout, with some great mystery/suspense and kills.

It's quite similar to Harper's Island, if you've seen that.

[Marsh.]

Audrey and Noah leading the show improved the show in season 2.

Emma was boring as ****.

Watching paint dry is more interesting than any episode of the god awful Scream series. Absolute car crash of a show.

[LukeB]

oh shut up

[Marsh.]

oh shut up

*sigh* You never could deal with the truth.

I'm on season 2 but that was over 4 months ago and I only saw episode one.

[RileyH]

I haven't seen this but the Scream series was great imo

[Jason.]

Season 2 of Scream was great, aside from the killer reveal and that godawful, unnecessary Halloween episode.

[Barry.]

Might get back into it then.

[LukeB]

yeah i agree with everyone, series 2 was great and the deaths were actually great too.

but slasher wins for the death scenes and the lead in the first season was actually brilliant

[Barry.]

Its on netflix too. Will try it.

[LukeB]

Its on netflix too. Will try it.

Scream is

Slasher is only on US/Can but can stream online or on kodi if you got it

[Barry.]

I saw slasher season 1 on netflix.

[LukeB]

I saw slasher season 1 on netflix.

oh yeah sorry, season 1 is but not season 2

[Barry.]

It will air on pick first i think.

[Amy Jade]

Season 1 was decent, I rewatched a week or so ago and I do think it is kind of silly in some areas and I hated how underused some characters were. Katie McGrath was fantastic though she carried the series very well.

The last scene is really dumb though, I cringed at how tact on it felt. It served absoloutely no purpose.

[LukeB]

Finished season 2 and i have to say it was amazing!

Very interesting twist on the last episode and i didn’t expect it

[LukeB]

Slasher series 3 has been confirmed and will be this year.

[Tony Montana]

Watched the Pilot last night (Recommended by the awesome LukeB)

I Loved it- it was very entertaining, Gonna watch episode 2 and 3 later on

[Glenn.]

I’m watching the pilot and I’m calling it now, it’s the hot copper

[Jason.]

Ugh, the first season was so good but I couldn't get into the second and stopped watching after a few episodes.

[Barry.]

I watched until The girl had her eyes out and was placed to look like that monkey thing but will get back into i hope.

Jealously doesn't suit you :flower:

[Glenn.]

So I was right then

[Amy Jade]

I thought series 2 was really weak sadly. Better gore but and the actual storyline was fine but it was executed badly and the cast were all pretty bad with nobody to root for.

If series 3 is coming I hope it's more like the first series

[Tana Mongeau]

Season 3 dropped recently! Just starting it now. The intro to it was interesting!

[Amy Jade]

Is the new series on netflix?

[michael21]

Is the new series on netflix?

I going to check

[michael21]

No not yet but we will get all season 3 episode in one go on Netflix uk

[Tana Mongeau]

Hmmm, odd. It's on Netflix US!

[Barry.]

Is the new series on netflix?

Pick airs it first then Netflixs era it a few months after.

[Rob!]

I would never ever watch a show like this ever because I can't stand gore and stuff, but I looked at the synopsis and stuff out of idle curiosity and series 3 looks absolutely horrific in places (in terms of the death scenes) so it should keep some people in here happy :joker:

[Tony Montana]

I've began watching this show again after only watching the pilot last year. I've just finished watching episode 7 last night and I wasn't expecting Cam to be the executioner. :shocked: That was total shock, I kept thinking this whole time it was either his father or Dylan behind all the killings.

Poor Ariel, all this time i thought she was dead, only for it to be revealed that sheriff Vaughn had raped and kidnapped her the night she went missing, and was keeping her hidden in his basement all this time. And his wife knowing everything and going along with it was truly sick. I thought Vaughn had killed himself by self-immolation, along with Ariel and her son Jake. I was so relieved when we find her and Jake alive when the police arrived.

I'm glad there was a backstory and motive as to why Tom killed Rachel and Bryan. I thought Tom was just a psychopathic killer who just killed for no reason. :laugh: He redeemed himself when he sacrificed himself to save Sarah.

I'm gonna finish off episode 8 later and begin season 2.

I like that show

[michael21]

I was thinking season 3 when I saw that thread :fist::fist::fist:

[Mystic Mock]

I need to catch up on seasons 2 & 3 of this.

I'm terrible at following TV Shows sometimes.:joker:

[Tony Montana]

Just finished the final episode of season 1 and it was awesome! I'm glad Sarah and Dylan killed Cam.

And wtf at that ending with the little girl killing that cat. :umm2: That was completely unexpected.

I'm just about to start the first episode of season 2 now.

[GoldHeart]

Some TV shows are like a chore to binge through, I avoid Alot of the Netflix TV shows. Only watched Witcher and still need to finish The Good Place.

This anthology series reminds me of another one which I forgot the name of , it was on TV a few years ago

I actually enjoyed Slasher tbf, I think I lost track of it when me and my family moved, so obviously you're mainly trying to settle into your new home.

I think that you're thinking of Harper's Island? I did like that show.
