Shudder Sunday: Slaxx (2020)

 A Film that will scare your pants off!

Just to be clear, I'm currently wearing pants.  It's not often that I need to announce it, but there you go.

A fancy Clothing Store called CCC is preparing for the release of a new product- super shaping jeans!
On top of that, the man in charge of the whole Company is visiting.  

No pressure.
Unfortunately, one of the pair of pants is actually alive- and deadly!

They begin to take out the Retail Associates one at a time!
Can our Final Girl- she has a name, but...come on- be the one to save the day?
Or will this lady who kind of looks like Kate Hudson in Almost Famous bite the dust?

To find out, stream it now.
A rare thing- a Horror Comedy that isn't a pain to watch.  It manages to be scary (or at least bloody) and still pretty funny.

It's a silly premise, but they go along with it.  They don't ruin the joke with a wink or nod, which is appreciated.  Characters sure can't believe what they are seeing- they just also don't make funny faces or anything.

Like most Modern Horror, they make nearly everyone terrible in this one.  They do at least make our ACTUAL Lead not suck.  It's close, but it works for me.

The Film is really fun and I'm all in for more killer clothes.  Suffocating sweaters?  Lethal laces?  Terrifying turtlenecks?  
I'm drinking this all up!

Slaxx is silluy, but plays it straight.  It's honestly a fun Film about assaulting apparel.
