Slasher series creator Aaron Martin and showrunner Ian Carpenter understand one of the most essential elements to a slasher; the kills. And “Slasher: Flesh & Blood,” available exclusively on Shudder, has delivered massively so far.
The exclusive clip below highlights the carnage from the first four of eight episodes, and the amount of bloodletting, violence, and organ-spilling within means it’s NSFW.
“Slasher: Flesh & Blood” follows a wealthy but dysfunctional family gathering for a reunion on a secluded island. Their old wounds and competitive rivalries flare up when the family realizes a masked killer is on the island, intent on cruelly picking them off one by one.
The family at the center of the slaughter complicate things with their cutthroat mentality; the masked killer this season might have competition. It adds a fun new layer to the extreme gore this season, and “Flesh & Blood” isn’t afraid to showcase it.
Pyewacket‘s Adam MacDonald directed “Slasher: Flesh & Blood.” Along with David Cronenberg, the series also stars Paula Brancati, Jefferson Brown, Patrice Goodman, Sabrina Grdevich, and Christopher Jacot. New faces this year include Rachael Crawford (Heartland), Jeananne Goossen (The Walking Dead), Sydney Meyer (Departure), and Alex Ozerov (The Americans).
Shudder releases new episodes every Thursday, so expect things to get even messier as the grisly body count rises.
