Description: Forget your typical slasher; 'Slaxx' (2020) isn't just a horror flick; it's a darkly comedic social commentary cleverly disguised as a possessed-pants-based bloodbath. This isn't your grandma's haunted jeans; the film uses the titular garment as a chilling metaphor for the exploitative nature of fast fashion, its relentless cycle of production and consumption leaving a trail of bodies – both literal and metaphorical – in its wake. The film's unsettling atmosphere is masterfully crafted, blending genuine scares with biting satire. While the gore is undeniably present, it serves a purpose, amplifying the film's critique of corporate greed and its devastating consequences. 'Slaxx' is a stylish, surprisingly thought-provoking horror experience that will leave you simultaneously terrified and questioning your next clothing purchase. A must-see for horror fans and social critics alike.
