Sarah Bennett's parents were murdered by a killer known as "The Executioner" 30 years ago. Now, she returns to the quiet community of Waterbury, where the killings occurred, to start over with her husband Dylan, but upon arriving they discover that things haven't changed much. Sarah quickly finds herself at the center of a series of murders that revolve around the seven deadly sins, which appear to be the work of "The Executioner." But the original killer who went by that name, Tom Winston, is in prison so it can't be him. That means somebody else is behind the mask this time around, and the perp's true identity must be discovered to stop this latest string of murders. As long-buried secrets begin to surface, everybody around Sarah is a suspect -- or a victim.

John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/04/2016
Some old-fashioned horror is coming. And yes, it's here, and bloody good. Very bloody, though. Sex is at the bottom of it, you will be pleased to know. Go to Full Review Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter 03/02/2016
Whether viewers will be intrigued enough to see this mystery to its end will depend on their willingness to wade through a lot of superficial soapiness. Go to Full Review Jade Budowski Decider 10/17/2018
Slasher has everything; steamy sex scenes, horrifying murder sequences, and a final girl to root for. The series really reads as an homage to the 90s slasher films that preceded it, and is better for it. Go to Full Review Brian Collins Birth.Movies.Death. 10/30/2017
Whether or not it will flavor a solid story or merely overstuff it is yet to be seen. All I know is, they earned enough goodwill to come back for more. Go to Full Review Isaac Feldberg We Got This Covered 03/03/2016
5/10
Chiller's first stab at original programming is satisfyingly brutal and bloody - even if its reliance on horror tropes executed better elsewhere keeps it from ever reaching truly terrifying heights. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Paul L @pauly87 Aug 24 Started watching this show to get spooky season started, I did not know that I was actually going to get this addicted to it. Has a good storyline and some really scary moments. See more Michael B @Gadd3000 Aug 13 This show starts with a great setup,a great premise, and a mysterious back story. The final episode is horrendous. In between you have great kills alongside horrible acting and writing. They screw up almost every character. It's a sloppy and overdramatic mess. See more Per S Jun 8 Not sure whether the creators of Slasher intended the series to be a flaw contest, an overacting contest, or a poor casting and unlikely character competition - but there are many enough elements that make it seem unlikely. Nevertheless, none of them beat the proper gore effects. See more Eli 02/26/2025 THE GORE WAS INSANE AND IT HAD SUCH A GOOD STORY I RECOMMEND THIS NOW but season 2 and 3 were alot better See more Chuck K 02/14/2025 Season 1 is very well done. Plenty of plot twists keep this interesting. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the ending kind of drags a bit and gets a little bit hokey See more Federico B @federicobini 12/25/2023 The plot is interesting and the characters are well-depicted, even if sometimes this gruesome slasher turns into its own worst nightmare: a snooze fest.
