Libby is an idealistic young sales clerk at a trendy clothing store. When the store introduces new jeans that automatically shape your body size, Super Shapers, the entire store buzzes with anticipation until the jeans become possessed and go on a killing spree. It is up to Libby to save everyone.
If the idea of killer jeans makes you crack a grin, and even if you’ve been disappointed by horror movies with similarly silly central conceits, it’s worth your time to try on Slaxx. You might be surprised how enjoyable this bootcut bloodbath feels.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
An entertaining skewering of the hidden global politics in retail trendiness.
Austin Chronicle by Richard Whittaker
It may stumble into heavy-handed moralizing around the checkout, but Slaxx is definitely a good look.
SLAXX is tailor-made for anyone who has ever felt concerned for the mental state of the clothes they discard on the floor. For the rest of us who can abandon our wardrobe with no regard to its psychological well-being, SLAXX is a straight-off-the-rack farce.
RogerEbert.com by Tomris Laffly
Here, the effects are purposely on the cheap (they will make you giggle) and the acting is deliberately over the top. Once you accept these quirks, there's some blood-spattered pleasure to be had with Slaxx and its amusing twist on a survive-the-night slasher.
A horror movie critic stumbles into a serial killer self-help group and must pretend to fit in to save his life.
