That girl screamed while her neck got twisted (broken)
you dead girl shut it .... (that blind girl haha)
this spoiler is to unclear to be a spoiler but you know after you seen it...if you can look past the bad acting and are not annoyed by the constant flashbacks
you might enjoy this
but really the screaming is waay over de top
storyline well i didnt watch the entire season so i cant really say
storywize its a good attempt just poorly executed
so im just ranking season 1
(wich on netflix is season2)
they started with snowmobile after gettin out of the car to see peter ... im guessing its season1
on that note ill rate it again later after skipping to the other season maybe it gets better
if it does get better ill watch it all again and rate accordingly ...ill be back

As a few others have stated, Season 2 of the Netflix series SLASHER is so much better than Season 1! So I'm going to cheat here and give a high rating, but ONLY based on Season 2. Then we can talk about Season 1. Season 2 of Slasher is an extremely complicated and clever homage to the horror genre in general. A tight, well-written, engrossing 8-episode journey that digs deep into the lives of it's large cast of characters. The interconnected story involves two groups of characters. The first group are 5 twenty-something friends and former camp counselors (Dawn, Peter, Noah, Susan, Andi) who killed one of their fellow counselors Talvinder and upon hearing that a resort is going to be built on the property, return to the scene of their crime to retrieve the remains and dispose of them for good. The camp property is currently a peaceful retreat occupied by 8 older, world-weary characters (Judith, Antoine, Mark, Glenn, Renee, Wren, Keira, Gene) who live a life of repentant and reformed solitude. During the winter, the 5 friends rent one of the retreat cabins so they can execute their plan to retrieve of and dispose of the body. But things get complicated as a killer appears to be among the 13 and they must work together to stay alive whilst simultaneously trying to figure out the 'Guilty Party' (the season's subtitle) is.I was amazed at how the makers of Season 2 were able to stretch essentially what is usually a 90-minute slasher movie into 8 fully immersive and showstopping hours of entertainment. Via flashback storytelling, it succeeds by delving deeply into each character's life and fleshing all of them out giving them dimension and value. Every episode is excellent, with lots of suspense and horror to complement all the character-building and interactions within and between the 2 groups. Even with all the twists and turns, I think this season is very re-watchable. The music choices were perfect. And there are surprisingly not a lot of jump scares, relying on the characters to drive the story, not the horror. My favorite characters were probably Dawn and Mark.And now to Season 1! LOL I'm going to assume Season 1 was just an experiment gone wrong, because it is nowhere near the brilliance that is the second season. Season 1 has incredibly bad and amateur acting (the lead actress is Irish and her accent kept slipping all the time), too many jump scares as substitutes for actual suspense, and too many mis-directs as to who the killer was. It was the opposite of fluid storytelling. Let's just waste every episode telling a new story that goes nowhere in terms of building character or moving the plot forward. Another thing that bugged me about Season 1 is that the background extras looked way too much like extras. It really took me out of the story, which wasn't good in itself anyway. Just everything about Season 1, from the writing to the acting to the editing to the pacing, felt amateurish. So I'm going to either assume Season 1 was a glitch or that there was a new set of writers.

I would have given this 10 stars if it hadn't been for a few holes and stupid moves of some of the characters. However, the pluses far outweigh the minuses. I think I liked the second season just a bit better.

Really great series. I personally think that the first season was amazing, I have the seven deadly sins included in my religion so watching this was really interesting for me. I loved the plot and the twists and turns and how they modernized the punishments while actually getting them right. It was just..wow. Anyways, I would've given it a better rating but the characters. Now, to get this straight, I have nothing against the acting in general. I don't think it sucked. But some characters really ticked me off. I guess that's what they're supposed to do, but come on. I would love to name off everyone that made mad but the one person who really caused my rating to drop was Sarah. She was the most annoying human being on the face of the planet throughout my time watching and she acted so idiotic sometimes and she was so cocky for no reason and she acted so privileged and as though everyone owed her something. Otherwise, I had no problems with her. The way she acted to some of the events just wasn't anywhere near realistic too (it's fictional so that's not too bad, just annoying in certain cases). But that's not the actors' faults, to be honest, it's the script writer's and director's for making the characters act that way. Either way, ignore my rant above and watch the show. Everyone has different opinions and I honestly did love it. The acting isn't bad, I feel as though it's just the attitudes that the characters' have that get to people but I don't know for sure when it comes to others. I highly recommend this for any slasher film lovers, it will keep you watching until the end.
