A slim-cut slice of bizarre horror, Slaxx effectively balances quirk with gore -- and has the good sense to get out before its oddball premise starts showing its seams. Read critic reviews

Anyone who has worked in retail will surely relate to the film's beleaguered protagonists, paid too little and pushed to the brink in order to uphold the farce of capitalism.

It may stumble into heavy-handed moralizing around the checkout, but Slaxx is definitely a good look.

An interesting premise... and the film does have fun with it.

While not a perfect fit, Slaxx slays, and I can't wait to size it up again sometime soon.

Having it on while you do something else - maybe fold laundry? - is totally appropriate.

Unapologetically silly but surprisingly sharp, both in its sense of humor and its larger thematic ideas.

Who knew such a goofy slasher flick could have such a strong humanitarian message?

Mar 18, 2021You would imagine a movie about a possessed pair of pants would be outrageously entertaining, and yet the Canadian horror comedy Slaxx is too stretched out and made from conflicting material. This movie needed to be more... something; more ridiculous, more exploitative, more gory and over-the-top, more satirical. It feels like a lost Tales From the Crypt episode that is over-extended and repeating the same points and carnage over and over. The haunted pants are unleashing a trail of vengeance against a department store's employees one long night before a social media star makes an special live appearance. The kills are bloody without being very memorable or clever given the unique circumstances of the monster. Much of the gore is done off-screen as well, denying one more potential point of appeal for a movie that is supposed to be crazy. I found the movie and its social commentary to be rather tame and limited, which meant I was watching the same annoying, one-note joke supporting characters repeat the same abrasive activities and points. It got so redundant, and without really outrageous kills, that I just became bored as the movie dithered. The jeans are haunted by the victims of overseas child labor, and the serious points about labor exploitation are undercut by the goofy asides, like the pants dancing a Bollywood jig from unseen puppeteers (the highlight of the movie). By the time it concludes at the 70-minute mark, Slaxx feels like it's been creatively gasping for some time. It's not scary. It's not really funny. It's not gross. It's not crazy enough. It's just a killer jeans movie that could have been condensed down into an entertaining short film of fifteen minutes max. As a feature, Slaxx is slack. Nate's Grade: CNate Z Super Reviewer
